The more I think about it, the less i understand what is happening here, I think this will be remembered in the future as some kind of collective madness, a movie that was absolutely amazing getting all kinds of absolutely undeserved criticism just because its different and it takes a lot of risks, a great movie is sooner or later remembered as that and I have no doubts TLJ will be considered as that in some years but is truly amazing to watch the reactions of the people now, amazing and kind of sad too, because so many of them are pure overreactions, I always have the feeling that people is expecting Disney to ruin the franchise and despite the fact that they didn't they still looking for signs of that failure in any bold movement, so many of the issues this people has with the film make no sense from a narrative or cinematographic pov, is really mindblowing.

Highly doubtful. It seems for the most part, as people get further out from this film, they like it less and less. As more reviews pile in, the scores just keep going down. And I think we're going to see a larger drop than the one TFA saw this weekend, which means worse word of mouth and fewer repeat watchers.

Personally, I can't comprehend the madness of people liking this film. Thinking it was just OK or meh is fine, but liking it? Must be people who are fans of Marvel humor, done poorly I must add, shoved into every movie. Clichéd writing with absolutely no nuance. And a main plot that was, at best, an episode of a generic Sci Fi show, stretched out to fill 2 hrs. People might like this film, but that's either because aren't fans of the OG trilogy, where things of importance actually happened and the stakes were high, or just accept anything with SW in the title. 

I'm a huge fan of the original trilogy yet I find this one clearly better than Episode 6, a movie where the galaxy is saved cause a tribe of teddy bears think C3PO is God (lol), half of the film is quite unsubstantial, the quality of direction is quite uneven and Boba Feet has one of the stupidest deaths ever, however most fans say its a masterpiece even when its pretty obvious if that movie was released today fans would have reacted like it is the worst movie ever. Still a good movie but The Last Jedi is undoubtly better imo.
