" millions of critics" - uhhhhh?

I just feel like we must have seen different movies. I don't want there to be conspiracies or anything, but that movie was really, really bad. Like I said, I've never had such a disconnect with critics before, and there seems to be a lot of other people who feel the same. I don't know what this "smear" campaign is you're talking about, other than people just really hated the movie.

Little thing called hyperbole (why is it that ppl always need you to explain this when you use hyperbole, if you see a exagerated large number describing somethign asume ti wa sintentional and was used as a figure of speech ppl, it will do you good).

Technically speeking the movie is fantantisc, as a Star Wars movie ppl can think whatever they want, but the cinematography, scene composition, score, editting and whatnot is some of the best ever seen. The critics are not judging if this is the Star Wars hardcore fans wanted to see, they are judging if it is a good movie, and it is. It is that simple.

I'll give you cinematography, editing, and all that. Transformers do all that too. The plot was horrible, the acting was, well, usual Star Wars level-acting, other than Kylo Ren there was no character development whatsoever, and everyone is basically where they started when the movie began.

I've really tried to understand what it is people like about the movie. I've talked to a lot of people who did IRL, and I really haven't gotten any clear answers. Critics seem to like that they "took risks", but none of them paid off (at least for me). What they did with Kylo/Snoke/Rey was cool, and if Kylo/Rey would've continued down a path together, then I probably would've applauded that (that would actually be something new and interesting). Instead it seems like it was just a Red Herring just to get rid of a character that everyone was dying to learn more about.

I just don't get it. Please try and explain, in detail, why you liked it. Generalities don't help, as anyone could say that about any movie if you don't have to back it up.
