Oh without question.. I know that I am referring to just my small population size.. I just find that interesting that the people around me line up more with the people here, you tube, and RT.. Maybe everyone in Waverly NY USA wrote all the RT reviews
I agree that trying to negate the films worth by the money it made is a useless task.. But that is why I point to the inflation adjustment which shows that as a SW film goes its not as popular as most of the series...
I tend to disagree with you about this film not making a ton of bank because the wow factor wore off.. It was a Star Wars film.. A Star Wars film that was a follow up to a very popular SW film and A Star Wars film with Luke Skywalker.. If anything I think this film under preformed (adjusted for inflation wise)
Of course it does have to compete with Streaming and all of that so I will grant you that Adjusted for Inflation is not the end all be all but its closer then total Box office I think
Yep.. I have compared it to IM3 also.
As for expectations.. I would agree that some did not like the path it took.. But IMO it still came down to execution with the story and that is what hurt the film.. You can film something the best way possible but if your story sucks.. So what? Kong Skull Isand was beautifully filmed and probably is the story the director wanted to tell.. Why didn't you and Jye like it then? Why don;t I still like it?
There does seem to be a lot of focus on Snoke's back story, What Luke would and Would not do, and Rey's parents.. But there is a lot more issues with this film then just "It did not go the way I wanted it to go"
I would say that is the complaint for most bad films.. It did not go the way we wanted it to go.
Maybe Luke is the major issue for most.. Perhaps I just see the complaints that tend to agree with me and ignore the other issues. But I have seen many complaints about the story structure and the lack of character growth in this film.. Or is that that all just me
I am with you on TDKR and feel that the film hurt the trilogy as a whole.. Jeepers Bruce Wayne is Batman for like a total of a year. Thats just silly.. However I find that the film suffers in many other ways that has nothing to do with Batman.
And that is how I feel about TLJ. Many other issues then just one character.
As for the Avengers.. You are aware he takes off that stupid Helmet during the final battle right?? SO not all is lost
Besides Avengers is way better then TLJ
Anyways.. Why the hell am I back in here discussing this film
Life was much more peaceful in the Statue threads
I guess I just keep coming in here to check on You and Jye just to make sure you are OK.
