A good cinemascore does not mean shit. At all. It's really weird some of you guys think it does. Not sure what on Earth would give you this idea.
Cinemascore is absolutely notorious for shitty movies and flops getting As. Absolutely notorious. It essentially just means the audience sat and watched the movie. Maybe a little more than that, but thats it. It certainly doesn't mean an enduring love for the movie. At all. The most common score for a movie on it is A. Let me repeat that, the most common score is an A. How often is a cinemascore advertised versus rottentomatoes? Cinemascore is mostly notable for when its a bad score because its so fucking rare. That's virtually the only time people talk about. Going back to cinemascore over and over is an absolute joke.
My favorite Star Wars movie is TLJ, but to keep insisting that the only reason people think Kennedy did a bad job, or people here dislike TLJ is sexism is fucking preposterous. The movies have not been that good.
TFA, plenty of people shredded it for being boring fanwank, a retread of the original. No one gives a shit about Rogue One, anymore despite some initial positive vibes. That movie is just not very good at all. Solo sucked.
Honestly, its just pathetic that some of you guys cannot accept any criticism and engage with that, instead just screaming that all criticism is because people are sexist. Even at the other place, the way you guys would get so defensive over favorites was just ridiculous. I remember how hysterical people were over Homecoming.
Kennedys movies have been all over the place. They are not cohesive. Its weird that there wasn't much of a creative plan between TFA and TLJ, a dereliction of duty almost. TFA was trying to do one thing, and TLJ did something else. And now back to Abrams. It really doesn't make much sense. And not to mention all the directors that were fired or sidelined. It's been a rocky road. Not particularly impressive.
