Woke certainly has ruined the heck out of Star Wars.
go woke go broke
Wait a few months and rent it at Redbox...Make your own popcorn...If the movie sucks you’re out a couple bucks...
And if you need a bathroom break, or a cell phone rings during the movie it’s yours, and there’s always “Pause”...
Men do not want to see female superheroes with broom stick size arms beating crap pout of Spetnatz style of men even if they are a robot and the women want to see masculine men dripping with testosterone kicking butt.
Pretty much figured it sucked after seeing the decades old cliché of the “three point body landing position, head slowly looking up” thing, in the trailer. Gaggggggggg!
How many times can you go back in time to prevent what's going to happen in the future? The franchise violates all kinds of space-time conundrum rules and things.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles was good, in my opinion, but the series only lasted a year. People are maybe just tired of the concept. Ironically, the basic premise of the concept is becoming more of a potential future concern.
I wonder, obviously it didn't occur to them. Their likely audience (read: middle aged) generally waits until movies appear on TV. Especially if you're paying for HBO.
You know, I went to see Joker at a matinee, thinking it would be cheaper. It was only $1 cheaper than the evening showings.
A 12-oz soda and junior popcorn (the smallest they have), together was close to $10.
A chick flick with special effects...
Skynet is stuck in a loop.
Which time travel rules are that? Star Fleet, Dr. Who, Seven Days, Final Countdown?????
Eat before so one doesn’t have to during the show.
“I won’t be back”
Decent series.
I gave up after the second movie.
I loved 7 Days.
Dr. Who and continuity have never really gone together.
The sad part is James Cameron is responsible for two of the most genuinely badass female action heroes of all time; Alien 2’s Ellen Ripley and Terminator 2’s Sarah Connor. He did this when being “woke” wasn’t a requirement and the end result with these characters felt exciting and genuine to moviegoers. These days, “wokeness” is a check in the box and viewers can see right through it. It comes out as pandering and condescending.

Well said!
Ouch. Gonna see it this week. Getting pretty solid reviews, too many bad entries I killed it.
Yep. Haven’t been to a theater in at least 30 yrs.
