Talk About Star Wars With All the Spoilers You Want

[Tom62]

Anyone watch the Rise of Skywalker yet?

I haven't... probably going to next weekend, just bumping this thread for now.

Saw it yesterday and was very disappointed.
Bad storytelling.
Cardboard characters.
Plot holes that are larger than imperial battlecruisers.

That's too bad.  I haven't seen it yet so I can't give my opinion but I've been hearing some pretty bad reviews.

A lot of people overthink Star Wars. And this film has 42 years of expectations weighing on its shoulders. Whatever happened in it it wasn't going to please all of the people all of the time. This is why I never watch trailers nor read reviews before I go and see a film. I loved it. And had tears on my cheeks more than once. The characters have always been stereotypes/archetypes but it's what you take to them that brings them to life. Don't overthink it, just go see it.

Did Voldemort finally defeat the Cylons?

Did Voldemort finally defeat the Cylons?

Yes, he actually did(spoiler alert). Luckily the Borg and the Cybermen showed up later to terminate him.

Wait, so Voldemort is dead? Why didn't he use the TARDIS to escape?

Voldemort took the TARDIS through a Stargate and accidentally created a wormhole to Narnia. He lives there now with Marduk.

Well did you?

I did, and honestly, I enjoyed it even if it was a little cliché at times. Even so, I did connect on some level to most of the characters. Star Wars is a fascinating franchise for its numerous underlying themes -- philosophical, social, religious...you start to pick these apart and you get way more than just a popcorn flick.   

I found myself thinking about some aspects of the movie hours after I had watched it. And not in disappointment, either.

Major SPOILER ahead!

On a scale from 0 to 10, I'd give the movie a 6+. The movie wants to please the fanbase so much, that it looses track of its own identity. The first part of the movie is rather rushed in a kind of desperate attempt to repair the damages made by the Last Jedi movie. The midsection of the movie shows some action sequences and acting that are pretty good. Especially Oscar Isaac (Poe), John Boyega (Finn) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) have grown more into their roles. Super Rey (Daisy Ridley) remains however the flat Mary Sue character that most Star Wars fans love to hate. But, at least this time we see her training for a couple of minutes with Leia. Final section is full of CGI action sequences. None of them have the same appeal as the ones in the original series. For example, the enemy fleet just fills up the sky, doing nothing else but being "sitting ducks". Rey of course beats Palpatine and everybody is happy (as long as they don't think to much about the plot holes, inconsistencies and too many questions that still remain open).  In general the movie is, at times, a decent thrill ride, and it provides us with some satisfying moments, but it fails to tell a compelling story.
