Simply because so many years passed since the last Starwars. It definitely do not live up to the hype.

I don't remember a thing about it, so no. It was entirely forgettable. Like, I'm not exaggerating that I don't remember anything about it. Literally nothing.

I really wanted to like it. In the first scene when Poe starts talking I knew I then I was gonna hate it, and I did. I watched it again really wanting to like but I just cant. I did see The Last Jedi and I hated that one so much it turned me off Star Wars altogether.

It was okay, but it was basically a shinier version of A New Hope.

I watched it later. Thought it was OK. I always really liked A New Hope and this was more or less the same movie. I was excited to see where the characters would go but even then I had this feeling that they didn't have as much potential to be great.

It wasn't. There was a lot of "Star Wars needed a safe comeback and it's clearly setting stuff up for later" copium being passed around, but

It was safe but set up alot of potentially interesting things. TLJ threw those in the trash and Rise lit the dumpster on fire. The criticism of being ANH retread were legit but it was a good start that went nowhere.

Yes, it was easily the best Star Wars thing since Return of the Jedi (I say "easily" because I prefer it to RotJ but want to be generous), and it's still top tier among the things produced after.

This. They dropped the ball by not having a single person with a single vision in charge. Imagine if Marvel split Infinity War/Endgame across 3 different movies with 3 different directors.

The one thing that bums me out about Star Wars is that I know eventually the storyline turns into the incomprehensible trainwreck that is the sequel trilogy. It makes watching or even caring about these shows like the Mandalorian hard for me.

The alien who gives Rey the lightsaber is not impressive. Charming, but you can't slap an Oscar anywhere near it. They didn't exactly reinvent the wheel there or capture the essence of the originals. She's a less annoying Jar Jar and a female Yoda... in CGI.

Ford's performance was rough, and the gags were rougher

Let's try and reflect. What if I said, "Wouldn't it be cool if we could go back in time and do a 4th movie with the original cast?" and how does TFA stand up to that concept?

It was decent. Derivative and not the best starting position, but was entertaining. But many of the new elements that were used were also not handled that well. Finn never felt like an ex-trooper and it was just downhill after that. TLJ is the worst of the SW movies and RoS isn't much better, just a bit more entertaining.

Ngl, the TFA hype and subsequent hype for future movies was fucking insane.

I feel like everybody loved TFA, even the haters.

And then Rian Johnson and his neurosis destroyed TLJ, and the JJ revenge fantasy destroyed TRoS.

So sad lol.

It was fine. I feel like people who are super critical of the new star wars films don't realize it's meant for kids. Not that there's anything wrong with enjoying them as an adult, but if you're an adult they're not exclusively meant to appeal to you. Like people who hate jar jar binks with a silly level of passion. I was a kid when episode one came out, as a kid I thought jar jar binks was funny.

I wasn't mad about the obvious spoiler because that actor had wanted out of the series since... before he signed on. I was mad when the immediate sequel wiped the board clean.
