Nah. You just sound like you're taking my observation personally. I did bold 'generalized consensus' for a reason. There's plenty of evidence to back up my observation.
Yeah, by ignoring the actual criticism and saying "fans" as being at fault because "expectations" and by pointing toward movie critics basically saying "it's a summer flick" on why it's not a bad movie.There's plenty of evidence to back up my observation
Great.
I mean, just look at this shit:
The Last Jedi is a film of moments. There are perhaps a half-dozen of them: goose-pimple inducing, fist-pump encouraging, heart-racing bursts of cinematic satisfaction. The problem is that the narrative threads connecting them are lazily knitted and sometimes tangled or broken. The overall plot is underwhelming and theres far too much padding, especially during the first hour. Theres a sense that Johnson is giving busy-work to certain characters while others are catching up. The Last Jedi is a great 105-minute movie stretched too thin.
I really like this oneIt's simply too long at two hours and 36 minutes and sometimes too damn much. The screen is so crowded with character and incident that you might need a scorecard to keep up. But the way Johnson, who's slated to direct three more Star Wars films with unfamiliar characters, balances the skyrocketing action with tender feeling keeps you emphatically in the game.
And then another reviewer saysAs in The Force Awakens, the Star Wars recombinator is in full effect, serving up rejiggered elements aplenty from the original trilogy. The devoted will no doubt be delighted; for the rest, a resigned acceptance may be the safest path to enjoyment.
Hilarious.This isnt a nostalgia trip through another films highlights, à la the franchise reset J.J. Abrams offered two years ago
