Ignoring the Star Wars haters

Are you sure you saw the movie??????????

 

While I generaly agree that TLJ haters should not be taken serriously I am for we to embrace a larger view.

I think Star Wars community should evolve just as Star Wars evolved. There is no firm difference between the Dark and Light.

I also, personally think this is just a phase, since episode IX will, against expectations of many make even episode VIII to be seen in different light and make it great even for those who in this moment can't see trough the myst.

I do not believe episode VIII is a solo work of mr Rian Johnson but a part of a well designed grand scenario which will culminate in ep IX.

 

We shouldn't control the Tide, but ride it. Trust the Tide, it will take us there.

 

So true.

I absolutely agree.

Although be sure to remember, it takes self control to ride the tide.. just like with surfing.

Same goes for the Trials.

Don't know about anyone else here, but on the first occasion that I saw TLJ in 2D, there were plenty of empty seats in the cinema when I saw it in the opening week in the UK. And that's very unusual. Normally with all other Star Wars films, they've sold out in the first week. I did wonder why I even bothered preordering my tickets! No people in costumes, no lightsabres, no obvious stereotypical fans were visible.

In the second viewing, the IMAX I saw it in was barely half full on the Friday (15th December) and the school holidays had already begun.

Barely any laughs, except for the roast porg scene, and nobody clapped at the end when end credits started.

 

Good points here, but when it comes to the "haters" telling those that liked it why they are wrong, that goes both ways. The lovers of this movie are constantly screeching at those who dislike it, telling them why they are wrong, that they just don't get it or (the worst) that they are not smart enough to comprehend it. It's a problem on both sides of the debate. I also don't understand the mentality of telling another that they are wrong for having a different opinion. There's been multiple debates on here, but in the end, nobody changes their minds. The lovers still love it, the haters still hate it. I'm glad some people loved it, good for them. I wish I felt the same way.

 

You defenders of this bad movie wasting your energy....
You don't understand. People who don't like the movie just accept it. That's it. They move on. But the defenders have a really hard time..
It's like the people who desperately trying to tell me Ghostbusters is a good movie or that Wonder woman should win Oscars.

BTW I don't care about your opinion, because I accepted that RJ couldn't deliver...

 

Please explain how TLJ bombed in China, the world's second biggest economy which has over a billion people living in it, which prominantly featured a well-marketed Asian cast member, which never achieving #1 ticket sales position, which was beaten by a locally made comedy film, and then was dumped from 92% of all Chinese cinemas in the second week and merchandise sits gathering dust on shop shelves unsold?

Either the Chinese don't love or care about Star Wars, or the leftist-leaning western media is telling porkie pies (lies) about how well TLJ is performing around the world outside of the US?!

 

They clearly don't accept it else they wouldn't be on a TLJ designated forum. They'd just walk away. Heck, most are saying they won't watch it again and some even that they won't give Disney anymore money. So why are they here? There is only one conclusion:

To spread the hate*.



* Though I don't think they hate it, they just want to because they were wrong about a load of stuff and taken out of their comfort zone. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that most have lied and have secretly watched it a dozen times or something.

They eat bugs and dogs in China, have baby turtles on key rings and have the highest execution rate in the world. Also, the highest grossing film is Wolf Warrior 2.

That's how.

 

Wow dude.. you just crossed the line! You dislike The Last Jedi? You must be a Star Wars hater.

Seriously though.. this article is trying to lump the "I disliked the film because I didn't like it" crowd in with a very small number the Mens Rights activists who are criticizing the film for what they believe are extreme feminist undertones. I see both sides, but I do not think this film is "feminazi propaganda"

As usual, everything is black or white for people. Criticize the film and you're seen as an evil right wing sexist by some. Love the film and you're seen as weak left wing cu*k.

It would be nice if we could get back to discussing Star Wars, without everyone getting labeled as this or that. I'm getting sick and tired of this political crap.

 

This made me chuckle...because it is so true!

 

I love it how these two still don't understand the purpose of this thread. The first thing they're trying to do is try to convince us why it's bad.

 

Oh there's that $1.2B ticket sales quote again.... they always quote that when they feel pressured and defensive....

NEWSFLASH! NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE TICKET SALES - UNLESS YOU ARE AN ACCOUNTANT, SHAREHOLDER OR SPREADSHEETS FANBOY!!!

 

So they don't care about this, now? What do they care about then?

Critic reviews? That's good, roll on RJ's new trilogy!

 

I didn't go to see TLJ with the intentions to fund Disney shareholders and improve their business and bring joy to the spreadsheet fans! No, I went to watch the film for the very selfish reason to be entertained for 135 minutes with a story that was respectful to the original films and carried on story arcs and maintained character behaviours set up in all the previous films.

And guess what? They didn't! They made TLJ into a spoof of Star Wars which could have been easily mistaken for a 135 minute satirical comedy sketch on SNL!
And I hated it! Every single minute of it! Well, except for the R2 and Luke reunion scene.

 

I don't disagree with your sentiment here. However, I will point out, that it goes both ways. I'd be willing to bet that @master_shaitan & @techsteveo have the most posts in the "hate" thread, and all of those posts are trying to convince people who don't like the movie that they are wrong, or mocking them for not liking it.

We should all be able to agree that it's ok to either like or dislike TLJ
