Worst of the three new films in my opinion.0

saw it last night. I thought it was good but not great. It was about 20 min longer than it needed to be."I got memories, I got shit"0

Well, fuck, man. So far, the consensus from this group is meh.
If it's really worse than Rogue One, I might give my tickets away and get a nice dinner instead. I can't imagine anything being worse than Rogue One.
For the record, there has only been exactly one bad Star Trek film (although I have yet to see the last one, which seemed like it might make that number two).I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

I'm struggling with this one. There was a lot I liked. Adam Driver's performance as Kylo blew me away. The fight scene in Snoke's throne room was awesome. I really like the dynamic between Kylo and Rey and am excited to see where it goes. Chewbacca busting through Luke's door and (IMO) basically telling him to stop acting like a little bitch was great. Yoda looked a little weird at first but I enjoyed seeing the character and hearing Frank Oz. I'm glad we got one last Luke Skywalker as hero moment, even though his "death" was a little strange given how he had just "survived" the battle that he actually wasn't even really in. It's probably a fitting end to the character and he was true to his word. He went to that island to die. It was just jarring to lose him and to know we've actually already lost Carrie Fisher too.
There is a lot that I didn't like and I worry that on repeat viewings I will like parts of the film even less. The opening space fight was great - even though Poe's humor at first felt like a reach - and I enjoyed the Battlestar Galactica-esque tracking through light speed bit. But the long, slow speed chase that followed really bothered me. Snoke's kickass ship couldn't catch up to or shoot down a handful of slow moving rebel ships? It was like OJ in the white Bronco only in space. That felt so forced and was a HUGE plot element in the film. I liked Fin and Rose, but there entire mission to the casino just felt shoehorned in.
So...Rey's parents don't matter and neither does Snoke's origin? C'mon.
When the two tie fighters fired on the bridge and Leia was sucked out into space I was SHOCKED. Bolted upright in my seat. I very much thought she might die in this one, but not that early and not like that. Then...weirdness. To go from seeing her only feel the force a few times to flying through space like a superhero was a WTF moment.
There's more obviously but these are the moments that stood out. I'm sure I'll see it again in theaters but probably not until after Christmas. Overall I guess I am disappointed even though there were parts of the film I enjoyed very much.

One more thing. Maybe this is just a nerd overthinking things but I don't think it is. In The Force Awakens, after Starkiller Base is destroyed, Poe finds the Millennium Falcon as it escapes the explosion and he along with the remaining X-Wings escort the ship back to the rebel base. But in The Last Jedi, Poe and Rey introduce themselves like they have never met. So at no time after the battle and before Rey departed with Chewie to find Luke did these two introduce themselves? They never crossed paths? They never congratulated one another on the victory? They were never commended by Leia as heroes of the battle? That doesn't make sense. Of course they would have met. Instead we get this awkward introduction between the two that feels more than a little like it's foreshadowing a romance. That annoyed me.

Loved the scene with Rey in the mirror, very trippy for Disney.0

I SAW PEARL JAM0

It’s crazy
imdb has it 86/100 crititcs
8.1/10 from the fans
but click on the actual fan reviews and they are all 1’s to 3’s with a few 6’s mixed in
then listening to you guys.... sounds like Disney bought some Critics
im going tomorrow in IMAX.... I didn’t have high expectations to begin with, at least my vape pen will make it watchable, I hope
hopefuly JJ can save the final installment
