[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9147905, member: 85555"] I would agree with this entirely I think I just like slower paced movies but watched the original with my wife recently and I found it entertaining (but I do watch a lot of 70s movies). I still like Empire better. These are my favorite in the trilogy. I get some people dislike RoTJ, but I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid and have always liked it (not a fan of taking out throwing in that new musical number, but the later changes are a different topic entirely). I enjoyed it, it had some interesting ideas the rest of the trilogy never explored, but agree it is very nostalgia driven and I don't think Abrams or Disney were a good fit for this project. I have a weird relationship with Last Jedi. I felt it would have been a decent movie on its own. Not the work of genius some critics were labeling it as, but certainly had a striking look, and an interesting feel. I also liked the relationship between Rose and Finn (I actually preferred following them around than most of the other characters in the new trilogy). But that final showdown with Kylo Ren, just felt so heavy handed with the dialog and too meta. The other part of my relationship with this movie is it makes no sense as a second installment of a trilogy. It kind of cuts the line from the first movie, but doesn't really provide any anticipation for the final film. Trilogies really need to have each installment working together to keep you going to the end. Think of how at the end of Empire you have to see RotJ because it has all this emotional momentum leading towards a big climax. When I first saw rise, I tried to be optimistic, but the more I thought about it, and the second time I saw it, it was just so bad in so many ways. It has problems, like basic good film making problems, that the first and second movie don't. It is really bad. The final battle is Game of Thrones final battle bad. haven't seen any of the side films, not interest (I like star wars fine, but not a big enough fan to invest in all these other movies and shows).
