737433, I did not like this movie Posted by spenzalii, Sun Dec-22-19 01:29 AM
So much didn't make any sense and contradicted itself, let alone went against things set up in other movies. And some was just bad. Off the top of my head:
- Snope was a Palpetine clone? - If Palpetine was pulling the strings, why are there two armies (First Order, which Snoke/Clone Palt ran and this new Final Order)? - If Palpetine planned for Rey to meet in the Sith chamber, kill him, and absorb his power, why send Kylo Ben to kill her? - The knife with a map to the tracking maguffin? - What the HELL did Finn want to tell Rey? If he screamed her name one more time I was going to walk out - Rose got the shaft - 'I'm The Spy'. Ugh... - Not sure what pissed me off more, that damn kiss, or that damn medal - We go from Death Stars with planet killing rays, to Death Planets (that need to absorb the power of a star) with planet killing rays, to star destroyers with planet killing rays? I'm all for technology shrinking, but WTF? - Lando may as well have said 'On your left...'. And why was he wearing a Captain Kirk tunic? - 'I am all the SIth'. 'And I am all the Jedi'. 'And I am Iron Man'. Just..... - Apparently, all you need to defeat a Sith lord is not one, but TWO light sabers. Who knew? - That damn kiss. Yeah, that was worse than the medal. Just....why?
This didn't ruin my childhood, nor make me sign a petition for Disney to sell Lucasfilm, or want JJ's or KK's head on a spit. This clearly didn't have a story plan going in, which, as bad as they were, at least the prequels did. In doing so, you end up with a movie with dueling ideas with the last installment and in itself, and ham fisted fan service that felt more as a way to quell an angry bunch of nerds rather than a genuine nod to the fans of the series. It didn't make me angry, but I have no desire to see it again either.
That damn kiss, man...
