So....I spent literally all night (till about 3) analyzing the movie from a Star Wars fan perspective and from a casual movie goer perspective and my opinion remained the same as it did when the movie ended.

It was not good...at all.

The writing was awful.
The humor was forced and cringe worthy and felt so out of place with most of the characters.
Snoke was a total throwaway character. All this buildup for him and nothing. Killed like a bitch.
Luke was a total throwaway character.
Mark Hamill 100% phones his scenes in, seemed to not give a shit about the movie.
All the stupid ass extra creatures and puppets added no value.
Finn is 100% useless.
Poe is more or less usless.
They gave no ending to Leia
The casino scene was horrible. Hey, lets free some giant dogs then ride through a field for 10 minutes.
Benicio Del Toro could have been amazing but again, another throwaway.
Phasma, throwaway

Everything had no flow...just felt like no one wanted to be there. In the end, it felt like a Disney family movie rather than a Star Wars movie.

Snoke bopping Rey on the head with the lightsaber? What?

I agree with everything I quoted

All the stupid ass extra creatures and puppets added no value. - The roasted chickenpenguinduck scene was pretty funny :rofl:

I 10000000000000000% agree with you.

All the buildup from the force awakens and we get this bullshit? Snoke was completely useless. He said minutes before the (actually cool to me) scene where Ren kills him, "I know every move, every thought etc." but he couldn't see that coming???

oh and princess leia surviving that space thing.

COME THE FUCK ON.

Phasma, nice "battle" with fin.

Just fuck this movie. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


Things I liked:
Rey Throwing the lightsaber to ren for the kill.
Chewbacca and the porg roast

Most of the humor felt stupidly forced...Why do you need that? It doesn't need it, it never has needed it. I watch star wars for space battles and light saber fights (And the story :)) not stupid ass humor that doesn't fit. Chewbacca and the droids are there for humor, which they do a good job of.

Giving Kylo humor, Luke, all the serious characters that should NOT be making dad jokes......ugh.

I have ZERO hope for the new trilogy if this is the quality we can expect from Johnson.

The reviews youre seeing on other sites are all praising the diversity and equality given. Did you not notice that whenever they showed pilots, the purposely made sure to show white, brown, women, asian, etc?

The cast was so diverse!! KUDOS!
