Quad Damage 1,742 Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) well just saw it i don’t know if it’s the worst of the trilogy, but it might’ve been the most boring and uninvolving installment. Edited December 24, 2019 by Quad Damage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James Skywalker 528 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 It depends on who you are if you'd like it or not. James and Rey would definitely like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The story wasn’t that good. Empire takes a massive dump on it. So you are you comparing the first Star Wars to it's sequel as why the first film is not good? That is a bit ridiculous. The whole reason people went to see Empire Strikes Back was because the film before it was a huge hit. Edited December 26, 2019 by The Mother Fucker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While the story isn't very complex when you look at it again, especially 40 years later, it's perfectly paces, edited nearly flawlessly and the story beats line up perfectly as well. It's one of the tightest stories in the genre ever. I actually rewatched this on Christmas with a critical eye and all the story beats track efficiently and progress organically. There's no plot holes or conveniences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The story is ridiculous, the editing is terrible, the pace is chaotic and it's just a bag of fake outs and conveniences. From a critic's standpoint there's very little good to say about the movie other than sound design and SFX. I dug it because I love SW, but as a piece of cinema it's trash.

After six days, “The Rise of Skywalker” has earned about $259 million domestically, and $516 million internationally, putting it well on pace to become Walt Disney Co.'s DIS, +0.03% seventh billion-dollar movie released this year.

Its on Pace to make a billion dollars i didnt post actual numbers bc i didnt see the need to get that in depth about something this thread isnt about. but if you want numbers, k opening weekends for each movie force awakens - $247,966,675 the last jedi - $220,009,584 rise of skywalker - $177,383,864 and again, this is a thread about how disney flopped creatively and critically. the decline in box office/interest is just a bonus Edited December 29, 2019 by Quad Damage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I boycotted anything disney related like 10 years ago a combination of inherent interest in the ip, holding out hope that jj abrams might someday re-capture his star trek 09 form, and to be in on the memes. im not far off from you though, mainline star wars and avengers movies are the only disney movies i still take a chance on - even though ive yet to be rewarded.
