Have you only seen it once? I saw it twice, and while I really liked it the first time, I loved it the second time.
), I think I'm only seeing it once on the big screen. I read the same thing just a few minutes ago on twitter about enjoying it more the second time than the first time, though. If I end up getting MoviePass maybe I'll check it out again? We'll see. IllmaticHandler wrote:Knickstape1214 wrote:Out of 10, I’d probably give it a 6...MAYBE 7 absolute MAX, but that’s unlikely.

Like I said Bro. I trust the "Fan Boys". People act like being a Fan Boy is a bad thing. We are both not casual fans of this Saga. Our Knowledge goes waaaaaay beyond the movies. So if being very Knowledgable on this story, makes my eye more critical...then so be it.

Only once. Unless my GF and I somehow watch Rogue One, 4, 5, 6, and 7 before it leaves theaters (which is a longshot
I did see JL 3 times (yes, 3 times) and my opinion stayed the same...RELEASE THE SNYDER CUT!IllmaticHandler wrote:Knickstape1214 wrote:Out of 10, I’d probably give it a 6...MAYBE 7 absolute MAX, but that’s unlikely.

I haven't read any reviews from any fanboys. One of my best friends is like us and he feels the same way I do. My dad, also same boat as us, said he thought it was good but feels the same void I do. It just didn't feel like a real SW movie and different tonally from the trailers, which I thought were awesome. I just wanted...more
Disney reset the entire universe by scrapping the books and that still bothers me. Maybe the void is created by them destroying the old canon + me LOVING those books and seeing how great these movies could have been. With TFA, I liked it...but didn't think it was great, either. I definitely do need to read some of what the other major fans thought. I'm curious. "Fan boy" knowledge of the universe might be part of what is playing into the reviews and how they feel about the movie - with the whole "what could have been."
. Disney has long pockets so they can churn out movies, but George should have had some kinda clause that he still gets input. I am curious to what his vision would have been for the story. The prequels may have been not been executed to the best, but the story did not go against the grain and enhanced the saga overall and brought in memorable characters. I mean looks how much canon was produced in the SW universe because of the prequels... A WHOLE LOT. I doubt this trilogy has the same effect on the saga.

I'm no fanboy, my bro is. He enjoyed it, so did I. But yeah overall most fanboys did not like it much and I think it's just expectations of what they think should happen. Personally, I think it was an entertaining movie. I think it was teasing certain directions then pulled the rug from underneath and I think that upset some people. But in terms of direction, the visuals used, and the build up to great moments, I thought it did a good job. I never thought a Star Wars movie before this was remotely funny except for a few rare instances, and this one had moments that did not take away from the tension (some feel it did, but I think Star War fans are just used to things being so serious). Mark Hamil and Oscar Isaac are too talented and can work the fine line. It doesn't always work. I feel like recent DC movies have forced the humor. In this case, it worked well. But it all comes down to this for me when it comes to people who are critiquing the movie, well, going overboard with their critique:

I actually dont care for Humor. I want to see more Darkness especially since they are supposed to be in dark times. I hate a bunch of Humor in a supposedly tense time. It seems there is a **** load of humor in this. Disney is on some BS. Its the reason why Rogue one had to be reshot, and it hurt the movie cause they changed to much. It was to Dark for Disney.

. To this day, one the most intense books I ever read.

YES! THIS THIS THIS. Some of the humor fit in the movie, but other times...just...no. If GL had input, like you said in your other post he should have (which I also agree with), he'd have scrapped it. There's a difference between SW humor and forced humor (/Disney humor).
Going with the NJO (or the legends in general) would have been amazing. Imagine Jacen, Ben, Anakin, Lumiya!, Jaina, Yuuzhan Vong, Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn...

The Phantom Menace literally had Jar Jar Binks saying "icky icky goo" after stepping in a pile of sh*t, followed by a creature ripping a giant ass fart in his face which elicited the oh so eloquently written line of "pee yousa." And Jar Jar himself. I can't believe TLJ humor bothered you but the GL brand of humor didn't.
