The movie sucks, people generally didn't like it.

It's suppose to drop almost 70% this weekend.

Based on unreliable sources.

It’s Christmas weekend 😬

On my way now to see this mess.

Hope it aint a Total Train Wreck.

Audience score is low on metacritic, too... c'mon.

It was 5.0/10, it's getting worse - now it's 4.7/10...

Which isn't an accurate assessment of the GA. The films has been review bombed, this happens to games all the time. With that said, presumably the WOM isn't great like TFA and more like R1's, we'll see.

I know a lot of people personally who thought it was shit, there are some that liked it also.

53% seems like an accurate score.

Nope. The movie still sucked, for whatever reason.

Which is a shame. Means the GA just prefer more of the same.

Obviously TFA is going to make more given the hype surrounding it. TLJ could have been as good as ESB and it probably could not have matched that.

Wasn’t just about money though. Ares is suggesting that WOM (word of mouth), isn’t as good for this one.

I think anyone saying that this movie is pure, unmitigated shit is overstating it. Anyone saying it's as good as Empire though, is doing the same imo.

The truth of it lies in the middle. For me, it was disappointing and had some real issues, but I can see why people would like it regardless. It's certainly not the worst blockbuster this year.

And, let's be fair: It IS Star Wars.

Not to me. I'm done with Star Wars going forward....The proper ending for me was Return of the Jedi. Sure, Disney might want us to accept their fan fictions as canon but for me.....not thanks.

Curious but what is your biggest issue? Is it because they basically invalidate the ending of the end of the OT?

Overall the movie was mediocre!

The story overall was good. I liked it....But considering it was The Force Awakens' continuation....The movie was SHIT!

We expected better Space Battles.
We expected a formal training (Rey being formally trained by Luke)
We expected a Luke vs Snoke scene.
We expected a TON MORE than the shit we were sold.

There are several reasons but yes, that is the biggest one.

BB-8 wasn't even half as entertaining as it was in TFA, btw.

Rian Johnson is going to be in charge of a new trilogy of films soon. Get used to his style.
