    Star Wars : The last jedi just as bad second time around

    So tonight I was at the blood clinic to donate blood when a friend who had not seen Star Wars yet called me to invite me to see it with him.

    I hated the movie the first time around. Nothing makes sense in that movie. But I have read so many places that the second viewing is much better...

    so I went...


    Sigh, I don't know how the movie could improve on the second viewing, the plot holes are even worse because you know about them and try to find reasons
    that make sense in the movie and there just isn't any...

    I really hope that the Hans Solo movie will be good. And I have a hard time seeing how they can recover from this mess in Episode IX.... at least it won't be the same
    director, so at least there is a little hope... although JJ Abrams did a bad job with Episode VII.... so ya... I think: We're doomed

    Thought it was pretty good. Same for Force Awakens. Good thing movies are subjective.

    I didn’t like “The Last Jedi”. The Force Awakens was better.

    It is strange how The Last Jedi is liked by critics, but is being bashed by a lot viewers.

    Ya, makes you wonder how many criticts are on the payroll of the big studios. On Rotten Tomatoes the critict score was over 90% and the public score around 50%... I have 1 friend who liked it, everyone else hated it. And when I talk to him about the reasons the story makes no sense, he agrees.... but still like it ROFL

    If I was not a Star Wars fan, I might like it too. Visuals are amazing and it's a space opera so it is entertaining... but that story.... ouch.

    I haven't seen anything since The Force Awakens. Doubt I'll bother. Too hit-and-miss and I'm not really getting the continuity between the movies.

    I liked last Jedi better than Force but thought they were both cool. Not sure what you are looking for in the movies but nothing is going to compare to the originals. Specially now since Disney has ahold of them.

    That is my problem. I’m comparing everything to the first three movies. I will just have to rewatch the original trilogy.

    It was a good movie overall, but like many others, I didn't like the direction they went with some of the story lines.

    Re: Star Wars : The last jedi just as bad second time around

    My problem is i was a kid when the trilogy's first came out and they were amazing. I became besotted so to speak. toys, stickers, would have killed for the Keller falcon as a kid. Part of my growing up TBH. Today i'm a grown adult and even the originals, they're just good movies. A distant memory. But i have tried to re-create that buzz that i had as a kid, with my kid.. (the other kid couldn't give a hoot! and doesn't even come) Taken him to all the new ones twice. I've not seen last Jedi for its 2nd viewing yet, but will do. I was not impressed on the first viewing, and actually had a little sleep. lol but really enjoyed Awakens and Rogue, 1st and 2nd viewings. So i was expecting more. Casino's and floating around in space? didn't hit the spot.
