What'd you think of sheev?Hot take: The only acting that fell flat for me was Mark Hamill, much as it pains me to say. I thought he really phoned in his big appearance in this. Just seemed on auto-pilot when he said his lines.
This is where I too stand - sure it could have been tighter as a story and a bit more exploratory in regards what it sets up in the beginning.
I feel like I'm in a Death Stranding thread with how divisive this seems to be.
I agree. I wish we got more of him though.
Is it good? Well, look. I mean... Okay, look. In a movie as, I mean, you have to understand that quantifying... with a movie like this... look. Listen. Do I recommend... Could I recommend. Look. It's like this: Is it good? I mean, it depends... look,I feel like I'm in a Death Stranding thread with how divisive this seems to be.

(I haven't seen the movie yet, I just like the Death Stranding meme :P)
Just got back, I uh.. well, that was something. A lot of good. A lot of bad. The bad stood out far more than the good.
However, the movie ends on a pitch perfect note, even if predictable. At least we got that.
The first half of the movie is classic SW and the trio dynamic is even better than I thought it would be.
It just moved quickly. The editing was good, the pacing was just very fast. They were pretty up front about it from the get go, and I didn't actually have much of an issue with it. There was consistency there, though I'm not necessarily a fan of that speed, but it's JJ.I thought the 3rd act was the best, the first half was an editing nightmare.
Funny I got cheering at my showing.Yuppp. Just got back from a free screener of this at Alamo Drafthouse. Full open bar for a few hours before the movie and free food and drink during. I have NEVER been so excited to hear "last call" in my life. Probably the longest 140 minutes I've ever hard to sit through in a cinema. Such a shame. You know it's bad when half the audience laughed at the big ending moment and someone tried to hush them only to be met with 2 times more giggles and hoots.
Movie is absolute trash. The entire film plays like a synopsis, and I swear the average line length is 5 words.

I didn't have much of an issue with the actual transitions and editing. The pace was obviously too fast, but they were very clear about it from the beginning. However they were moving so quickly that you had some "teleporting" issues. But that's more pacing than editing.Nah man. TFA is fast paced in a good way. It has well timed scene transitions and a cohesive narrative flow.
This had none of that. The editing was really bad.
I agree with pretty much all your points. I still really enjoyed the film.
It's not that interesting.I feel like I'm in a Death Stranding thread with how divisive this seems to be.

Same in my showing. The only parts that had people laughing at or groaning (amid contested cheers) was the last moment with Ben and Rey and hearing Hayden Christianson's voice.It's genuinely interesting to me how differently our crowds behaved. Mine was fully invested in the film pretty much the whole way through and the laughter was — almost — always with the film rather than at it.
Maybe ask the mods and have them merge the other spoiler thread with this one?
I'll add that, of the three, this one does show the evidence of cuts/changes the most.
