A long time ago, Sylvester Stallone made a Rocky film were the hero of all of the previous films, Rocky Balboa, was penniless. He had brain damage and his son didn't love him. Stallone always regretted that and went back to make another Rocky film to fix that mistake. He said something like "Why did I think audiences would want to see their hero in such a dark place?" 

That's how I feel about TLJ.

I'm all for character evolution and I'm even more in favor of a great story. So far, two of my childhood heroes are dead and the story isn't really enjoyable or compelling at all.

Which Rocky was that? Did it get good reviews?

I just can't understand how every-single-reviewer were ok with this decision, and even praising it. During the movie I kept thinking to myself that something had to change by the end of the movie that brought it all into context, or made sense, or whatever, because of how glowing the reviews had been. When it was over and I was walking out I just couldn't fathom how the reviews had been so positive. How was this viewed with universal praise? 

Rocky V. Which ended with Rocky fighting some kid in the middle of the street. It got horrible reviews and I'm not even sure if they acknowledge that it exists, anymore.
