Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)

I thought it was a good entertaining Star Wars film.

Certainly not the best of them so far, but not the worst either.

goes to a previous discussion I had with Paul M recently where I said that as I general rule of thumb I always tend to think the complete opposite of critics/reviews.

Same here, it was good. Better than any of the prequels but not fantastic.

Quote:
Given how highly critics have rated the franchise's latest installment (93% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) versus how bitterly divisive the film has been among hardcore Star Wars fans (a mere 57% audience score on RT), you would think The Last Jedi's CinemaScore would reflect that apparently more negative audience reaction.

But The Last Jedi's "A" CinemaScore is the same high grade audiences gave to both The Force Awakens and Rogue One.

CinemaScore is the letter grade domestic filmgoers assign to a movie in audience exit polling conducted opening night. It's been a barometer by which Hollywood has gauged how their movies will perform at the box office for roughly two decades now, but it has become, in the digital age, an even more talked about facet in how studios and the media respond to a movie's performance.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)

Hmmmm, that is very disappointing because the films are completely different. For me Rogue One is a million times better than The Last Jedi (i wont write an essay explaining why) and i know some people will think the opposite but there is no way you can say the films are as good as each other.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)

Nobody (I know) has stated that this is as good as Rogue One - it isnt.

However, thats not the same as saying its bad - RO was a very good film.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)

it is interesting how it has divided ppl. when I got into work after seeing it, the guy opposite me and another guy near him had the exact same negative feelings about the film, and didn't like certain scenes/aspects. Yet at the weekend I went out with some old work mates, and one asked what I thought, and I said I was disappointed, and he was surprised, as all his work mates had thought it was amazing!

You know what they say, you can't please all the fanboys all the time

Comparing it to Rogue One is unfair, as I think most ppl thought the reason that was so good, was that it was a good war film, set in the Star Wars universe, telling a story we wanted to hear, rather than being focused on the Star Wars Jedi mumbo jumbo

---------- Post added at 19:32 ---------- Previous post was at 18:29 ----------

spoilers, well duh
The “backlash” against Star Wars: The Last Jedi, explained
link removed - as stated earlier in the thread, no spoilers, please

it is an interesting observation that normally the critics hate a blockbuster, yet the great unwashed can enjoy a film on face value for what it is, it's almost like we the people sometimes want to see a film like Armageddon, and sometimes something like Schindler's List, and realise there's room for all types

I think box office figures are often irrelevant to how "good" a film is, I think it was Waterworld which got panned, cost a stupid amount of money to make, but ppl still went to see it, because

a) sometimes ppl liek a popcorn brainless bit of fun
b) ppl wanted to see if it really was that bad

and so it got its money back, much to the annoyance of the professional critics

I hope you wont be mad at me Steve but I dont care for it either mate,I have NO INTEREST in seeing this......

To me star wars is the original 3 movies that came out in 77,80 and 83

I have the first one on VHS from 1982 (20th century fox (Video rental library (Official tape)))
I have the second one recorded from USA network in 1995 (I wanna try and get an earlier copy,video doesnt look that good (Looks digital)))
I have the third one recorded from HBO in the 80s and its goregous
