You know what would've been cool? Aliens on various planets watching a transmission of Luke facing the FO. Or ignoring Leia's signal until Luke Fucking Skywalker shows up. Instead, we are just told these things.
That's what IX is for.
Who would be recording/live streaming this?? How would allies arrive in time when Rey barely got here in time?
I'm not ignoring that people voice their strong opinions on forums and online review sites. My point is that you're getting a skewed selection of people who are voicing their opinion. Are you really trying to tell me that complaining/praise on ERA is representative of the general audience? We're posting on a freakin' gaming forum. You're getting a viewpoint from people who like to argue about games and entertainment, not reception from a mom, dad, grampa, kids, etc. You're getting opinions from people who like to argue about gaming/entertainment and are infamously overly critical about anything and everything.
They were actively broadcasting a signal and Poe had binoculars which could've had streaming capability. Star Wars tech man, forwards some ways and backwards in others. :P
But they had to evacuate, Sono one would be around to broadcast the whole thing?
they had zero predisposition towards it but it's clear that unti TLJ the brand had potential. Neither TFA nor RO collapsed like this.
It's you not paying attention.
It's 30 years later, so maybe they were able to make cloaking devices that small... but i think the implication is that cloaking makes them disappear. Darth Maul's ship had a cloaking device, but you can explain that away as the Sith wanting stuff like that to be kept secret.
You forget the Rebels kept their ships on the ground in ESB and those were really big and lacking in aerodynamics. So it's a given that they have magical engines to keep them hovering no matter their size and Star Wars physics ensures they don't break apart. See also the Super Star Destoyer being able to hover over the Deathstar 2 and it clearly affected gravity enough for the SSD to fall into it when it was incapacitated.
Uh, that's exactly why China is neutral. It's not part of their pop culture or viewed as some important thing. They're not raving about it for months and years on end, wanting to watch it no matter what.
I didn't say this either. I said that TLJ's was much bigger.
I was there too, i just didn't participate because of how ambivalent i was toward the movie. Very very meh, swinging toward bad, but whatever.
How is noticing that there's so much more hate/dislikes almost universally online being in a bubble?
That's cool how you say that our opinions don't matter because we're giant nerds, ignoring the fact that a large part of movie goers on opening night will be the fanatics and they'll be the ones being asked what to grade the movie at.
I'm pretty sure almost everyone who watches a movie like Star Wars wants this too.
Because, like I said, discussing TLJ online is not representative of the average moviegoer. Do you really think the majority of people who pay to see SW go home and post on ERA? Or go home and write a review of the film online? And again, why is there a 30 point swing from RT to IMDB? That's fucking enormous.
So you quoted the most important parts, i assumed, but not really? But that no longer matters cause you got nothing and want a quick win-argument by running away? ... does anyone even believe that these sort of responses are honest?
Are you aware that toy sales were down significantly prior to the movie even coming out? And this was the case for the many months leading up to it? Is this is also a sign kids didn't like the movie or what?
Lies and slander! Tortful even! How dare you sully the Star Wars name claiming the most boring battles in the series as the epitome!
Force Day happens in August.
You say "there you go" as if you made your point, but you never actually indicated out how anemic toy sales ahead of the movie indicate a poor reception of the film (you did, however, lay out a very reasonable timeline of how toy sales were struggling since even the very well received TFA). You are a hard person to follow, and I can see why the other person gave up. Sorry to take up your time.
I'm sad that you're treating my posts like the Chinese treat TLJ, not caring what was previously done.
I'll work harder next time to make my posts more entertaining and interesting for you, unlike the TLJ designs, stories, and characters that kids aren't buying as much of like they did just a year ago.
I already said i don't, hence bringing up the major sites that any mom or dad would go to to see if a movie is good or not.
No, but they sure as shit can post a comment anywhere online and I'm seeing way more negative views than ever before.
Again, i already pointed out that places like IMDB are already pumping it up with high scores, undoubedtly based only on hype. So when the movie is actually released, months (years?) later, all honest ratings are going to be averaged out with nothing but that hype.
Says the guy who thought (thinks?) box office sales = LIKES and that CinemaScore isn't biased as hell.
Yeah, "thinks"
So because Justice League did worse, TLJ's aren't bad? Bad logic. Nevermind there's a hundred million zillion more fans for STar WArs than there are JL fans, so they're more likely to give the next Star WArs movie a chance despite negative opinions from their friends and even themselves.
I agree, but compared to its own opening, it couldn't even do well relative to itself and how other SWs compared to themselves (as shown through weekly sales and how small/big the drops in ticket sales are)
But that's what you're saying. The hundreds of thousands/millions of nerds shitting on a movie doesn't matter, because who cares if there's more of them hating on the movie, because "general audience" who you claim to know the real feel for and pretend they don't go online, because you believe ticket sales proves positive opinions.
He went into great specific detail about the negative parts, probably a longer list than I would give, but i guess he couldn't talk about the good parts because he was too busy shitting on haters and comparing the movie to worse movies, thus the last jedi isn't that bad! key phrase: "that bad"
Well he did mention good parts briefly, and did say it was a good movie.
I re-watched Revenge of the Sith a few weeks ago and that's basically true of that movie too. It could be the only prequel, and it would still work.
Briefly? He spent more time on the bad parts than the good parts, but didn't really go into detail either way. Basically just lists.
You'd still have that girl who is better at everyone for no real reason aside from vague commentary from a evil bad guy who comes up with it out of nowhere, making you question who he is, but too bad he's dead in the first movie, leaving just as many unanswered questions as TFA did, because the head bad guy is now just an apprentice who wouldn't have that knowledge
I took a look at the RT reviews and it's chalk full of half star and one start reviews spouting terms like "feminist garbage, SJW propaganda" and "please rerate your review to a one star instead of half star so that the film drops to a lower percentage" "there's no way the percentage should be this high. CHANGE YOUR REVIEW", lol. I've only read about 6 pages out of 2000, and it's infested with alt-right commentary and incendiary takes on women. Again, this is rage coming from a specific part of the internet and isn't representative of the general audience. Unless you think these viewpoints are representative of the average viewer, in which, yes, you'd be living in a bubble. That the average viewer is taking notes on the political commentary and walking out of the theater disgusted by how the dirty feminists are making the men look bad and that it's all propaganda.
Wow, you're completely lost, because surely your ramblings aren't just you building a strawman, right?
Again, using people's reactions on massive places, even here, and how the movie is performing compared to its own sales are general metrics to gauge audience's opinions on this movie. Again, using something like CinemaScore is completely skewed because of the type of people who go watch series with crazy fanboys like Star Wars. These type of people will overwhelming have a positive view, hence all the Star Wars movies sharing the same scores, despite the criticism (professional, online, etc).
So because he wants people to give this movie a more negative review, his opinion that he didn't like the movie doesn't count?
and I'm still going through page after page of bitter negative views.... and i found my first 10, followed by a 9, and then a drop back down the abyss.
LOL
