Let’s settle this: Did you like The Last Jedi? (Poll)

I voted "no". I strongly disliked TLJ after leaving the theater, but I've tried rewatching it since and I honestly dislike it more with each subsequent viewing.
It's just not a film I find enjoyable to watch. Beautiful cinematography, great music, but I just felt the script was awful. To me it felt like it was written by someone who hates Star Wars and wants it to be something else. Bleh, I even prefer The Phantom Menace over it, and I do not like TPM.
A resounding NO from me.

I'm in the middle. It was a fine movie but it didn't leave me as hyped about Star Wars as TLJ did.
63 audience score on MC would be horrible
63 critic score on MC would be middling
63 RT score would be bad
63 RT verified audience score would be bad
But 63 on Era is overwhelmingly positive..
I would hate to have to watch it again. Rogue One is the only movie (post original trilogy) that I really like. I find TFA to be watchable.

Loved it. Thought it was haunting and beautiful while leaving me wanting more (but not unfulfilled).
Haven't seen it since theaters, but yes, I liked it. I've got my criticisms for some of the b-plots, but they don't overtake my overall positive feelings.
That said, I'm not a huge Star Wars head. I like it as much as the next jackanape and not much more.

Loved it. Sequel trilogy is amazing as of now, with the right spirit, good characters, adventure and impeccable cinematography.
I also think Kylo Ren is the most compelling villain of the last decade in blockbusters, since he has an interesting arc. Adam Driver's performance is stellar and elevates this anti-Luke journey (him killing Snoke was obvious, since it's the opposite of what Luke did when he had the chance with Palpatine) to a point that makes him believable. I do fear crazy young guys that are fascinated by evil and nihilism.

Really enjoyed it, and it improved on a second viewing. My takeaway initially was that it was a love letter to Luke and Mark Hamill, who absolutely killed it with his performance.
I saw it without any foreknowledge opening weekend and was quite surprised by the relentlessly vocal minority that followed.

Bro RT and MC were review bombed gtfo with this stale old shit.
Only 2:1 in favor in a place with as narrow a cross-section as Era is actually dreadful for TLJ.
Yeah I saw it blind like 3 days after release and I was nervous because some people were saying it was an insult to their childhood etc. Etc. and then I watched it and had a blast and legitimately didn't know why people were upset untiI I started asking around online.

You basically just walked right in the middle of a gunfight, tossed your hands up and said "alright, we're done here!"
You didn't settle a thing.
You didn't settle a thing.
Audience scores have never meant shit.
Critics liked it and it did well at the BO and dvd/blu-ray/digital sales 🤷♂️
Funny. I voted I liked it. Star Wars shooty bang bang, big bada boom.
And the final season of GoT was successful because it made money 🤷♂️
To be fair, I didn't like it and I bought the Blu-Ray on day one.
I will buy the 9movie, 4k-Blu-Ray Box Set on day one as well, despite being a Disney + user.
But that's also true the other way around where the stans have to acknowledge that the hatedom is much larger than they think.
Lol....another thread 😛
Already expressed my view , multiple time , and as much as absolute polls really don't capture the middling opinions it does answer in terms of the Era view where opinion sits...

Rian took some interesting risks. Probably shouldn't have done so sandwiched between two nostalgia-bait JJ classics. Luke's motivation to almost attack Kylo was poorly done. A lot of the dialogue isn't great (yo mamma) and Canto Blight is a snoozefest. Honestly I don't think Rey is much of a character. She doesn't really seem to have any struggles or motivations that are interesting to me. Choreography sucks in the throne room scene but visually its stunning. Kylo is a good character. Overall pretty bad but I liked looper and knives out looks great so I'm still half-excited for the Rian trilogy that may or may not exist.
Yeah same here. I didn't bother to go see it, just waited till it got a disk release. We bought it simply because we had the others.
I mean it's the same with the ROTS poll that I made.
I did make it. It's the same exact results as this:
Rose knows the fathiers will get rounded up and that trashing the town will make life hell for the slaves who'll have to clean it up. She doesn't care because she's clearly a First Order agent.
Think about it. Why is her and Finn's shuttle allowed to slip by the First Order's offenses? How does she know about the seedy underbelly of Canto Bight? Why does she let secure Rebel intel get overheard by DJ? Why does she stop Finn from piloting his ship into the death cannon? Why isn't she fired upon by the AT-ATs as Finn drags her back to the base? She is a protected informant.
I was in the "it was... fine" camp when it first came out, but I think it was just a coping mechanism. Upon rewatch I didn't find it very enjoyable. The second act was completely pointless, and I can't get over how stupid Poe and Holdo's little game was. I was also disappointed to see Snoke go out like a chump. I wanted another Emperor-level big bad. Turns out the Emperor is still around.
Better than the prequels, worse than the OT and TFA.

I always think of this quote when these discussions come up:
"Levin had often noticed in discussions between the most intelligent people that after enormous efforts, and an enormous expenditure of logical subtleties and words, the disputants finally arrived at being aware that what they had so long been struggling to prove to one another had long ago, from the beginning of the argument, been known to both, but that they liked different things, and would not define what they liked for fear of its being attacked."

Emperor was pretty obviously "in case of emergency break glass". Its a shame
Did you just take a yes/no poll and turn it into a score out of 100?
Lol amazing.
It definitely isn't the best SW movie and it has some big problems like the useless Kanto Bright part, Rose, and nothing really to look forward to about the upcoming movie, but other than that it was pretty good. Way better than the prequel trash.
Nope. What they did to Luke was stupid. Luke's role in the old non-canon EU was much better. They didn't want to commit to Luke having a thriving Jedi Order. I find that the Jedi being wiped out because of a rogue Jedi having gone Sith such a tiring trope by now.
But the critical reaction and fan reaction was overwhelmingly negative and they dont even have the DVDs on sale yet. It's a lot less commitment to stream a show than it is to buy a ~$30 blu-ray for a movie that you've presumably already seen and liked.
TLJ critical reaction was great, fan reception was divided and it did well in post-release sales.
