The Rise of Skywalker Review Thread: The Sheev Saga Comes to a Close [No Spoilers] (Rottenwatch: 55%; 10% below AOTC) [SEE STAFF POST]
- Thread starter Bor Gullet
- Start date
LOTR is miles better than anything in SW. And not just in terms of music.
Who is happy that the trilogy is "tanking"? Also, how is the trilogy as a whole tanking?
I knew that when the review embargo was going to be lifted today I worried about what it would get for it's scores for days and here it is. Having the review embargo lifted on the same day as it releases in various countries is usually not a great sign and this is proof of that.
I managed to stay clear for a while. But I spoiled myself by buying the ticket.
sorry mate... 'movie theatre' is a spoiler as well
in future can you just say 'going out'
Nope, from here on out it's the wildcard.
They don't seem to really grasp what to do and how to "fix" their problem, so they might just turn to pitches with a strong vision behind them.
Going with even more corporate identity won't work and they know it.
Watch them get people to work on this that knew how to take their own spin on the MCU successfully. Russos, James Gunn or Waititi incoming.
That's what the bag is for. Obviously, people will have to routinely wear bags every time they go to dinner, just so their not tipped off.
This isn't true and we're talking trilogy not all the time. I bet you're pissed they gave Rian Johnson his own trilogy to direct.
She's not even sure herself. She says "here's what I think I know".
If memory serves right, the first positive reactions towards AotC were mostly because the film was less clearly aimed at a young audience and lacked Jat Jar. I remember the consensus turning real bad real quick though
Rise of Skywalker is definitely a double-bagger unfortunately
if this ever starts getting enforced we will have truly jumped the shark
I need TROS-edits of this gif and I need it nowIt's like that Spider-Man 3 gif all over again
I liked Game of Thrones season 8 more than the previous 4 seasons but I don't act surprised when people tell me it retroactively ruined the whole series for them.

This is hilarious 😂
I hated that and the rest of the endings. Trilogy was dope, but damn if it wasn't some melodramatic waxathon
Well, they have not done that yet. And, if it happens I would rather he directed one film and was some sort of overseeing producer on the others.
Dave Filoni sends Ezra and Ahsoka through the world between worlds to fix this shit.
huh weird that we never see this complaint about movies that get high 90s RT scores in their review thread title
The thing I remember most about it is that the 'Ain't it cool news' guy saw an early version of it and was raving about how good it was lol
True, but it lines up with the initial reports back in '13 or '14(?) that said Abrams was attached to all three. And he and Kasdan wrote a whole book about the universe the new trilogy would take place in.
Everything around the reporting at the time seemed to suggest that Abrams had a rough outline in place for the trilogy.
Disappointed but not surprised by the reviews. Can't win them all, i suppose.
I wonder how the review bombing will turn out since this excerpt is already the most "helpful" review on IMDB:
As someone who liked Star Wars a whole lot when I was a kid, it's just sad that it's become a proxy fight in a cultural war where some people use it as a thinly veiled mask to hide their true issues.

You keep using that word.
I don't think you know what it means.
Edit- I've been had.
I'm glad that I had no real access to American internet with 12 in my tiny Bavarian home "town". Star wars was and still is at least a little bit less of a big deal here in Germany and the discussion tends to be a little less toxic because of thst, at least as far my anecdotal evidence counts here.
They're wrong. Most of the people that hated TLJ didn't want this either.
This is in Abrams
Abrams was never attached to all three. It was always intended for two other directors to helm 8 and 9.
Oh my god this thread is 62 pages already! I can't even begin to catch up, but looking at these reviews all I have to say is...
KNIVES OUT, OUT NOW IN ALL MAJOR CITIES!
But seriously, I'm very curious to see what the greater internet discourse around this film is once everyone sees it. I expected the review split.

Y'all should read the Polygon review, it's really great - this paragraph is a pretty fantastic summation of JJ's filmmaking style, pretty much exactly what I thought about TFA despite liking it a lot (spoilered just in case).
the reactions are always more entertaining than the movie itself
i love the moment to moment directing and characters in tfa
i love the themes and story in tlj
can we just get a movie written by rian johnson but directed by jj?

So let me get this straight. The only person stating that the trilogy is "tanking" is the poster I responded to. They also claim that RJ "stans" are happy with said tanking because it vindicates RJ. How is that comparable to what you're describing in regards to GoT? Not to mention, new Star Wars film hasn't even opened wide yet. So people are having the trilogy ruined for them based off of reading reviews, even though the vast majority have yet to watch the film itself?
