I spoke to people who have seen it. It is 100% social justice warrior propaganda. males stupid or evil etc.
The director has no clue about the background of the movie, (joseph Campbell and the hero’s journey) and instead is just glopping scene types together and expecting special effects and brand awareness to carry the day rather than actual character development.
Reading mark hammel’s descriptions it seems to be a chick flick wanabe.
IOW meh
The only good Star Wars movie was the first one.
The people you talked to lied. Or they just have bad obsessions. There no SJW, there are good males and bad males. The director has a fine understanding of the background of the movie, it is the middle of the hero’s journey, the crisis when all seems lost. And there’s plenty of character development. Mark didn’t like that Luke feels like a failure and gives up. But even he says it works for the story.
It’s a good SW movie. Gets back to how things were before Darth wound up Luke’s father, break away from Clan Skywalker and actually makes the story about people not related to Darth. Which really is the thing making all the fanboys whine, they’ve grown used to the Star Wars saga being a family soap and they wanted it to remain the tight spiral. Plus of course they just like to complain. I like how everybody whines that we know nothing about Snoke, because we knew so much about Palpatine when Darth threw him down the pit. Old, crabby, powerful in the force, wants to rule the galaxy, that’s all we need to know.
