I am not sure what part of "I am interested to see how it works out" is that hard to understand or controversial for you.
Not really sure why you're feeling the need to be so ####y. I'm sorry the USMNT thing didn't work out. Buy a sombrero and cheer for Mexico, you'll be fine.
What in the world are you talking? What's declining? So far all the people who went to see it a second time like it more even if they didn't all that much the first time. I have a feeling this movie will age much better than The Force Awakens. Since it wasn't what everyone expected I think it's just going to take a bit for some to appreciate it. Not everyone liked Episode V when it was released.
Not sure why this is a surprise. For the "adult audience" the Force Awakens was a moment of historic redemption for a franchise that all but defined our collective childhood.
I wonder if JJ and Johnson had any meetings to make sure what ever story Johnson helped frame would not affect JJ's view of end game.
I think the opening and the promise of Luke had this one open as strong. I think the down trend is tied to weak word of mouth and less repeat viewing
I don't get so many being out of sorts over the Leia space thing.
My issue with that whole seen is that it just didn't look right. Surviving it didn't bother me but her floating to the ship like that just seemed off.
When Ren and Kylo first make contact he asks how it was happening. He says the effort for just that degree of projection alone would have killed her.Projecting himself like that is probably one of the most high end things one can do with the Force and you could tell how much it took out of Luke, ultimately ending in him dying. It's like a mage in D&D casting a spell that takes all their MP.
On second viewing they did a much better job than i first thought at tightening these things up.
there was something to her movement that had the feel of 1960's era movie technology the first time I saw it.
From what I understand, jj didn’t come back on until after Pricipal photography was done on this. Which really questions Kathleen kennedy’s Leadership that apparently no one had established the tent poles of this trilogy before TFA.
Time.... they knew this movie was a mess, hamil was a huge PIA though so he gets killed in post, jj gets money thrown at him to “save” it and this idea that a total jabroni like Johnson, with no track record, gets a “vote of confidence” by saying he’s doing the next trilogy to keep the press positive on this one
I’ve asked this a few times, are we sure we are still in a trilogy structure?
This story says they went after JJ for 9 after Johnson turned it down, which is strange since shortly there after Johnson was said to have been given control of the next trilogy.From what I understand, jj didn’t come back on until after Pricipal photography was done on this. Which really questions Kathleen kennedy’s Leadership that apparently no one had established the tent poles of this trilogy before TFA.
Jj Doing the trilogy makes too much sense so he must not have gotten enough money.
I assume we are. 10-12 are being set, supposedly in another part of the galaxy with all new characters.
They’re going to need both these two for the next trilogy.
my guess is that what ever JJ presents to Disney, they are going to make sure there is a long term plan in case they want to bring back some of these characters in later movies (or change their mind for the direction of 10-12).
I don't think so. I'm sure this trilogy was mapped out beforehand. The story is written.
Unless you're straight up Scrooge or uber Star Wars nerd I don't see how you couldn't enjoy parts or all of this movie.
Apparently so. This is why I need to watch the movie again. So many details I missed.
For me it's wanting to know how the rebels are going to rebuild. Where are they gathering support from? Are we going to see more people with force powers? How big of a bass ### is Kylo going to be or is he still going to show weakness?
I am certain the only reason Leia did not die was so Kylo can kill her in episode 9. He was not strong enough in 8 to do the job, this time he will be.
I guess. That sort of feels like the start of a story as opppsed to a conclusion. Just really weird structure.
Man I think we are going there the more I think about it.
I think we have had many people in here who liked some parts of the movie but overall came away with a slightly negative opinion. I was wondering if any of that group has changed their mind on a second viewing.
I should acknowledge that the reverse is true as well.
me too!
