Star Wars: The Force Awakens

But you are entitled to dislike it. This is not an Inquisition with a one opinion policy.

I remember being in the minority in not liking the PT very much.

Now you're using CPT's tactics, of deciding what the GA thinks. Again, I'l tell you what I've been trying to explain to CPT. TPM also had an Amazing box office multiplier. ROTS has 7.7 and 79% on Rotten Tomatoes (10 years after release). Does that mean anyone who doesn't like TPM or ROTS should be told they're clearly in the minority?

I wasn't talking about the prequels, was I?

But as for your points, TPM was released on a Wednesday which leads to a deflated weekend and thus a higher multiplier. It also was released nearly 17 years ago and movies back then tended to be less front loaded (addmitedly it's still a very good multiplier). However, it has a poor IMDB score and RT audience rating.

RotS seems to have decent reception. It's IMDB score is good (not great) but it's audience rating in RT is pretty bad (65%).

Anyway, that's my last say on the matter.

So what day of the week do major movies get released in America?
Here in Australia, it's always on a Thursday.
The big block buster ones will even have the Wednesday night midnight screenings.
And in some cases, we'll even have a week early release then you guys.

TFA was great. Loved it. Will see it again.

Spoiler:
I would've preferred if Han hadn't died, though. Not in this episode, at least. Way too soon.

I'm sorry, i didn't realise the discussion of this film was limited to positive things about it.

never said that. it's just that your review has been going on for like 20 pages, bruh. "unoriginal". fair enough. anything else?

If you guys are pissed off about Finn and Rey using a lightsaber, just remember: It could be worse.

This is real. It happened.

Luke looked moronic and I heard from Darth Thor and various others how awesome it would be when Luke showed up.

you're just disappointed that you only had 30 seconds of luke to hate on, and now you have to wait another 509 days.

I'm sure if you did enough digging you'd find dumber stuff. Still doesn't make the dumb stuff in the film less dumb.

Oh there's definitely dumber stuff in the EU. Like Sidious' 3-eyed son called Triclops. Or the gay Hutt in The Clone Wars. Or the sentient, clinically depressed mountain from Marvel's Ewoks #7 comic.

A gay Hutt isn't dumb in and of itself.

Yes it is, Hutts are hermaphrodites.

The specific character was a fairly offensive stereotype.

I heard the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels are canon. That means Midi-chlorians, the Force Planet, Force Priestesses, and the characters and events in Mortis are still canon.

Hermaphrodite =/= homosexual.

if his entire race is hermaphrodite, then why would he be any-sexual?
