The movie wasn't actually BAD or anything, some jokes hit, but that was such a focused tested by the numbers generic fill in the blank story that it MUST have been auto generated by a computer. This is our new AI future. Writers will soon be sent to work on our farms.

Also, it through me for a loop to see that Dwayne Johnson was the executive producer. Vin Diesel has Riddick....The Rock has Jumanji.

He's by far the best part of the movie. The characters just being the characters is all fine. It's everything around it that's so...nothing.

This is definitely a Sony Pictures comedy!

Nothing, I was invited to this movie for free.

But I feel like there are some people trying to overhype this movie out of Last Jedi spite because they want it to overtake it. Sounds dumb, but I know 2 of these people <_<

TLJ made 3 times in it's opening day what Jumanji made in it's opening weekend. They're not on the same scale.

No, but a bad thing means a bad thing, and Luke's story in TLJ was basically a huge steaming pile of bantha dung.

Star Wars is terrible. But beyond that the Disney-dominated media culture is pure cancer and any obstacle to it is pure joy.

Therefore I can do nothing but take pure joy in the struggles of Star Wars.

I think you're going to have to dive deeper looking for an obstacle than the 8th film in a Disney owned series not being the biggest film of all time, and "just" settling for passing a disney live remake of a disney animated feature as the biggest film of the year.

Unless you think any of the Star Wars fans complaining are going to not show up to the next film, in which case "lol"

Yeah I'm still on a high about my second viewing of TLJ even 24 hours later

Even the Leia moment wasn't so bad this time. I didn't expect to like it just as much the second time but I did. I guess this time I appreciated stuff like the cinematography and music a bit more - it was a bigger, louder screen

I enjoyed this more than the first but at the same time, this was more of a Hollywood film. I always use the word processes to describe Dwayne movies; I think they are oftentimes ran through the ringer to create the most palatable film possible.

In what world am I an edgelord? I have pretty dull opinions except when it comes to comics, and no one here cares about those.

In this random user's mind, it's "edgy" to dislike the same circular arguments in threads for tangentially related discussions. Also, apparently the word "nerd" is a pejorative.
