That's what I expected, after everything I heard. So halfway through, I was surprised to find that I didn't absolutely hate the film. But I still fully expected something to completely ruin it for me, similar to how I felt about what they did to Luke's character in TLJ. So I go online and post some of my thoughts on Epi 9, and I see people here commonly express very similar opinions as my self. Even after seeing it and not hating it, that surprised me. Because I had heard almost nothing but bad things about it, and critics dislike it. For TLJ critics generally liked it, and fans disliked it. I didn't read your entire OP yet, but I will probably tomorrow. 1) The Empire Strikes Back I used to like Phantom Menace more, almost entirely due to Darth Maul. But after seeing that fight again in recent years, I think it was choreographed poorly, so now it bothers me whenever I see it. |
You should really try using scientific surveys of moviegoers like the ones I pointed to in an earlier post on this thread, NOT internet-based "viewer reviews" that don't even verify that you saw the movie. According to the surveys of actual, verified moviegoers, The Last Jedi was widely received well (like with the critics) and The Rise of Skywalker got the worst reception of any Star Wars film to date (also similar to critical opinion).
In other words, don't just believe organized internet activists.
