| KungKras said: Sorry, but TLJ just killed any curiosity that I have about what's going to happen next. I mean... Luke and Han are dead and did nothing fun while they were alive. Snoke's dead and he didn't matter. Unstable child Kylo is leading the Emp-I mean first order. So they they are about as scary as Kylo is, IE not at all. Maybe Finn and Rose will kiss again I guess. And Ray will save the day by always being super awesome as always. I would like to see Leia do something cool but Carrie's dead so there's that. Also I don't give a damn about generic flyerboi Poe. So... I'm just not feeling it. I wanted the new characters to draw me in. They didn't. I wanted to see Luke do cool stuff. He didn't, and he's dead. I just don't have any curiosity at all about what's going to happen in the third film. |
Yeah, pretty much my sentiments - the whole thing has just devolved into a typical superhero movie or good vs evil sci-fi (which is fine but you've got to at least throw some curveballs and provide some nuance, which Johnson didn't really do).
Basic cheesy super hero or watered down sci-fi are not qualities that made Star Wars popular in the first place. It was the rich characters, mythological, historic, fantasy, and even Biblical qualities and inspiration, none of which the new trilogy (paticularly TLJ) does particularly well, if at all.
The only thing is, maybe J.J. can somewhat redeem what Johnson screwed up. I did find The Force Awakens a well made movie, if not a particularly creative or exciting one. It at least didn't leave me cringing like TLJ.
