It’s incredible how these guys were paid millions of dollars to write an unoriginal script which is just a bad copy of the old trilogy with some nonsense (Leia flying). If this what Disney wanted, they could have called me for the job. I’m bold enough to say I could have done better, but I could have done the same (and I would have accepted even half the salary JJ and the other dude got). From so called “professionists” I would expected much better

So you believe they are so powerful they ought all the critics and expect to be taken seriously. You are so guideline and naive you make my skin crawl. You hate Disney I get it. When the film comes out and you it is awesome I will not hear it coming from you.

No, that is absurd. You can believe a whack job just manipulating your emotions into being manipulated while I will laugh at you over here from the world of the sane and reasonable.
No, your feelings are just too hard for you to logically assess anything Star Wars related.

So just claims no real data and you bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Your feelings really steer your mind.
Dude, you are the same dope that believed the dceu was dead and needs Batman and Superman. Your grip in reality is slipping. Disney does not rule the world so quit being a 1984 theorist with Disney as Bug Brother. It makes you come across as paranoid and crazy.

You did not have faith in the dceu or Star Wars. Noted. Faireweather paranoid naysayer confirmed. You just want to quit at the first sign of adversity.
Do you guys remember when Star Wars was fun? And wasn't at the mercy of internet rage mobs?

The entire Holdo vs Poe subplot was retarded, and both sides of that conflict acted retarded.
Thinking about it, Poe was annoying the entire film, from his banter with Hux to the very end. A real 180 from how cool he was in TFA. Johnson basically assassinated his character.
Hux being nothing but comic relief the entire film- the FO being incompetent the entire film. The Resistance being incompetent the entire film.
Rose' character and arc was boring and contrived. Her romance with Finn felt forced.
What burns my ass about this movie is that there were glimpses of promising stuff. The film was beautiful, with some really amazing visuals. I'm probably the only one who thinks that Luke's death was fine and a fitting end to the character (it was everything before that point that was a mess). The potential was there, but Rian was too desperate to subvert the setting at every chance he got.

I do. That said I also remember making an account here as a wide-eyed thirteen year old fresh with the glow of Revenge of the Sith' release, and being introduced to you and the other forum regulars relentlessly complaining about the prequels and the EU at every possible moment.
Nothing changes.

TLJ criticism has become almost as cringe as the movie itself. People on both sides have now been reduced to just regurgitating talking points from shit articles and youtube videos. With that said, the movie is objectively bad, and anyone who still enjoys it should just admit this is the case and move on.
Also, the Star Wars brand is always going to sell, so the argument that it's good because it made a lot of money is just ridiculous.
