Hopefully they'll allow this thing to die out itself so we can get some quality sci-fi, like anything from James Cameron.
Trash with fine special effects that are not enough to save it.
Average movie but not to one star.
The Finn/Rose plotline was the only weak part of the movie for me; too forced (although it did produce one tense interesting scene). Overall the story was bold and believable, the action thrilling, the acting mostly strong and the feel very “Star Warsy”. People are disappointed their plot expectations weren’t fulfilled but this story could have gone many different ways. This was one of them; it is time to move ahead.
Meh. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I won't be watching a hundred times like I did with A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Seeing this movie once is plenty for this lifetime.
I suppose this was a film by Rian Johnson where he believed he was subverting expectations based on what J.J. Abrams set up with The Force Awakens. Literally all the main characters (Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, Po, Rose) have 0 growth as characters, and all of their actions are devoid of consequence. Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, Supreme Leader Snoke, Yoda, etc., are all used for either comic-relief doing things completely out of character, or aren't developed at all with a back story so as to carry any real weight, in their life or death, or just seemed to be used to sell toys or for the nostalgia factor. I strongly dislike the prequels (Episodes 1, 2 & 3), but I'm sad to agree with so many other people that this movie was worse & seemed to push a political agenda or like some horrible child who desperately seeks approval from others while they think their jokes are way more hilarious than they actually are. I suppose if you're between the ages of 2-12 you might like this film. Again, I thought Jar-Jar Binks was funny back in 1999...but then I grew up. However, anyone who is a Star Wars fan, who grew up with Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi will probably be very disappointed. I will not even talk about the Casino scene. Avoid the pain & skip this film.
Great Sound, Great Movie Experience but just disappointed at the movie. Can't directors get past ego's and follow each other's story lines? The first movie a large spent of plot is spent on getting Luke his light saber but the second movie did not follow that plot line. Then second director took story leaps that mess things for the third movie. It made so much money because people want to see what happens. Just disappointed at the director will be sure to avoid his movies in future.
LMFAO - I wish I would have smoked up prior. It probably would have been 2 stars instead of 1. "How bad was it? Bad enough that another movie goer smoked a joint in the theater to alleviate the illness the movie was inflicting upon us all. Doubt it helped at all."
Bad script, acting and special effects. I walked out 40 minutes in.
