Vegan Star Wars ... gag me with a spoon...
Complete about face from the manly battle for freedom (even when done by a woman and a Wookie). Even JarJar Binks was better. Sheesh, what next; battling hamsters or is that in there too.
Pillow fights so everyone gets a medal and no hurt feelings arise. BAH.
Almost everyone I know who has seen this film, really didn’t care for it. This article further convinces me that I probably won’t bother to watch it when it hits the bargain bin.
He catches a fish and they eat that.
LOL
Asked my adult son if he thought the movie worth the price of admission. He was lukewarm at best and said the movie seemed to have about 30 min of ‘filler’ to stretch the runtime.
My grandchildren (age 9 and 13) were less kind.
“it sucked” was one opinion and the other? “Sucked rocks, just stupid, dumb characters and no plot” The funnest comment was the head villain wasn’t evil, just whiny” Harsh.
Nothing like Corporate bean counters to kill any chance at a real story.
The Star Wars franchise is dead. The Last Jedi has the stench to prove that.
The director of TLJ isn’t making Episode IX, so don’t give up hope just yet.
Vegan Jedi’s get their asses kicked by the Klingons.
The earlier scenes with Kylo Ren I could forgive as evil in training, waffling. Kill the evil overlord that can sense your actions to save Ren and then having Ren reject him, I expected to turn him totally over to evil.
And he was still a weak, whiny guy! No anger, rage, certainty. He remained a whiny boy-man, evil only in the way liberal racists say all white guys are evil because they cannot distinguish competency from tyranny. Yet they still fail because the “bad guy” is tyrannical but incompetent.
The originals hold a lot of nostalgia for me. I saw “Empire” with my father in the movie theater. He is now 90 in a nearby nursing home. He has always been distant and not a particularly involved father and this is one of the few memories I have of us doing something together. My mother now deceased made popcorn and we snuck it in, just my dad and I watching to see Luke and Vader battle it out.
I read the spoilers and can’t bear to see what Disney has done to this American movie that somehow captures our inner yearning for heroes that channel all that is good to defeat evil. There is real evil in the world and often it seems to win. A movie with a hero that defeats that evil and redeems it makes us cheer. I have no interest in watching 2017 Hollywood decide that in the end maybe it wasn’t a victory after all.
This article broke my brain.
The franchise is dead, Jim.
Rogue One was far better and it was a spin off.
Rogue Onee was basically a WWII drama film set in space. It was better because it had plot and recognizable strucure.
I have always loved Star Wars...not even going to bother with this one. Went to the movies yesterday and saw The Greatest Showman instead. A feel good movie, which I enjoyed, though it’s a big lie from beginning to end...turning PT Barnam into a good guy and Jennie Lynd into a scoundrel. But I digess..Star Wars ended with the old trilogy for me, and I’m sad about that. Star Wars used to be fun.
A long boring feminist sermon ...
Homowood, the marketers of deviance, antiamericanism, and all things negative. Why support them?
This review reminds me of homosexual “projection”. They see a heterosexual couple and if the guy looks their way they think “oh, there’s another gay man that hasn’t outed himself, looking at us wistfully and with jealousy”.
Right.
I saw the movie. It’s very good. The bit with Chewy was a gag. The blue milk thing was gross (on purpose) and the look was “uh, no, not doing that”.
See it or don’t, but don’t base your decision on this stupid article.
So, grilled or baked?
it at 600,000,000+ worldwide in 9 days with another 9 days of Christmas vacation. If you’re waiting for a flop you may have along wait.
