||||||||

I thought it was good, easily the best of the new three (an admittedly low bar). I think if you forget the stupid idea that this is meant to be the culmination of EVERYTHING that went before, and rather watch it as the end of the new trilogy, and you overlook the fact that the "plot" is just a series of happy accidents, exposition and "who cares?" reveals, it is a fun movie in the (Benneton Advert version of) Star Wars universe. It looks good, especially the Imperial/First order interiors and the Sith place. Driver's good, I didn't *hate* Rey, and it's a fun. But that's enough for now, no more.... Star Wars.... |

I think im going to have wait for it to come out on tv, perhaps I might see it in the new year I dunno, I haven't gotten to the cinema much at all this year |

> and you overlook the fact that the "plot" is just a series of happy accidents Uhh you mean like A New Hope? Leia's ship just happens to get overtaken over Tatooine, where the son of Anakin Skywalker just happens to live near Ben Kenobi and just happens to buy the droids who escaped in a pod and just happened to have been brought to him by Jawas? And the first R2 unit Luke bought just happens to blow up so he gets R2D2 carrying the message instead? 🤣 (I haven't seen Rise of Skywalker yet, maybe all of this is retroactively explained by forcey nonsense) |
||||||||

Yes. If the original series came out now the internet would have destroyed them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry weird syntax there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Finn makes some comment along the lines of "The Force led me to Rey and Poe" and that seems to suffice. So yes, Forcey nonsense. |
||||||||

Utter drivel, hilarious. |

Luke’s ghost hand grabbing the lightsaber from the flames was the bit that woke me up from the hour of seizure inducing filler and let me know I was in for a wild comedy ride. |

Rey: Finn, I'm a Cats! Finn: holy shit [musical number] |

What was palpatines plan? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to copy and paste as many boring cgi star destroyers as possible |
||||||||

Spoilers. Pretty solid plan but then he went and made a galaxy wide announcement that’s that what he was doing before his ships launched, giving the enemy time to come n get im. Poor move imo. “Kill Rey” “Have you killed Rey yet?” “Ah Rey you’re here and alive just like I wanted! Now kill me so I can inhabit your body and become unstoppable” “what do you mean you won’t kill me?” “Ah now you’re here too kylo ren, I’ll suck out your life forces and become all powerful for some reason I just thought of” “Ahahaha one lightsaber against my lightning? You’ll never win! Pathetic!” “Oh no two lightsabers held in a cross, my one weakness aaaaaahhhhhh” What a movie, I’m still laughing. |

Rey is sex on legs wont hear a word against her put up your dukes, Sam |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah she’s lovely, her and Adam driver were by far the best things in this trilogy imo. I wonder if Kerri Russell’s character was only in the movie to make a disney+ show? |
||||||||
|

is that the black girl with the stupid hair? LET'S FIND OUT |

Nah poes lass |
||||||||
|
|

ah, they should have showed her face, she seemed fit they should have brought in grace jones as lando's wife lol, that would have been cool |

In the sympathetic reviews of the film they said how well the Leia bits were done, considering she was dead. Fuck off, she just stood there silently or said something that could have been randomly generated by one of those Magic 8 Balls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You could tell the script in those bits was written around the dialogue they had for, it was so weird |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Watch “the Americans” great show and she’s a great actress and very beautiful |
||||||||

Half in the bag review out. Do t ask me for a link |

Wow 70 mins, time to make a cuppa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're quite cynical |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I didn't understand that either, at the end of return of the jedi death star 2 is completely destroyed in a titanic bigger than a fusion bomb style explosion, totally annihilated into dust, so why is the wreckage in the new film, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because “look it’s thing you know” |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wish they didn't have the directors writing the screenplays |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't seen the new film yet so I have no real criticisms, im going to watch empire strikes back de specialised edition today on my HD monitor and be more than satisfied! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Had a blast! Was great fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crazy that in The Mandalorian, Greedo's corpse is still sitting in the Cantina on Tatooine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't seen it yet but why are the snok clones all fucked up when we know for a fact they have good cloning technology |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway everything i'm hearing about the plot sounds like the stupidest teenage fanfiction which is frustrating but might be fun in its own right |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tend to go watch the Star Wars movies with my child’s eyes intact, so I’m probably missing stuff to criticise, but I had a fun time. Didn’t mind the plot, no one got on my nerves. It’s a space opera, one shouldn’t put too much thought I to it. |
||||||||
|

If you wanna enjoy just about any movie, even if it's lame as hell, first watch Johnny Depp playing Willy Wonka as a simpering Peter Lorre / Michael Jackson hybrid. At that point even the prequels will seem like a unicorn chaser. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man that wonka movie wasn't great was it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aside from Depp's repellent performance it was a by the numbers Tim Burton thing. Twisty houses, twisty tree branches, oppressively stagey and sterile world building. Weird aesthetic choices too like how everyone's skin textures except for the elderlies are CGI'd smooth and poreless. The 1971 Gene Wilder version is so *alive* in comparison. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gosh yes that Burton version fails miserably. The o my part he nailed was he very start in that rickety house. Depp is I feed frightening in his portrayal of Wonka. I guess Depp would argue that the character was damaged by his father... |
||||||||
|
|

Fucking hell sorry for all the typos... |

On the sauce already mate?! Scandalous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just opened my first beer. This special Christmas weed is rather good though. “The caviar of weeds” my mate told me. Something he gets once a year through a diplomat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That does sound special! I wouldn’t mind a spliff actually. Just a small one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tim Burton's alice and wonderland is so shit just makes me appreciate the first one more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the digitally cloned deep roy to play the same oompa Loompa, that was a really shit idea, they are meant to look similar but not exactly the same, |
||||||||
|
|

The final three movies in the series have, on balance, been much better than the prequels. Yet in the doggedness of their attempt to recapture and, at the same time, update the magic of the saga, their effect has been to fatally splinter the “Star Wars” audience. And when the “Star Wars” audience can no longer agree on the fundamental question of what a “Star Wars” movie is, or should be, the fundamentalism of the ultimate franchise leaks away. The real star wars are now the ones that take place among fans: The series is too obsessed with recreating the original two films! It’s too obsessed with diversity! It’s now just diverse enough, and anyone who rejects that rejects the spirit of “Star Wars”! “The Last Jedi” was a busy botch! “The Last Jedi” was the best film in the series since “The Empire Strikes Back”! “The Rise of Skywalker” hits the bull’s-eye for fans! “The Rise of Skywalker” is sheer fan service, and therefore sucks! Let the Tylenol be with you. |

Why did they make him the traitor? Does JJ hate his character now? I really thought they were gonna bring Phasma back all robotic and stuff to give Finn something to do (maybe use the force sensitivity they didn’t pay off?) but I don’t think JJ likes her any more either. |
