  1. I have to agree. It wasn't bad (better with a more original plot), but it wasn't spectacular for the hype it's getting.

     

    I am really becoming disappointed with the recent Star Wars films. Rouge One had the similar appeal as the classic Star Wars novels back in the 90's. It FELT like a Star Wars movie.

     

    But these current movies like 7 and 8? They just don't have that fun allure like 4-6 had. Every battle scene now has to have a comic relief moment, making humor very redundant and at times inappropriate. It honestly feels that it's being treated like a cash cow franchise just by the label. I was really hoping Disney would have better writing team like they assembled with the Marvel series... nope, they just don't have it. There's no in-depth storyline taking place anymore. The characters are just predictable, flat and outrageously superficial. Seriously, Rey (whom I have a high disdain for) is going to master a lightsaber after picking it up for the first time and barely any training from a Jedi master while Kylo Ren operates an army with no experience and throws childish temper tantrums like a 5 year old? Who writes this stuff?

     

    This franchise really needs to be left alone.

     

    I think a lot of that has to do with the runaway success of the Marvel movies. Even the latest Thor is like that. Everything is super happy fun time and you're not allowed to be serious, or else critics will pan the movie. It's why I didn't like Jurassic World, too.

     

    I also saw The Disaster Artist. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. I nearly fell out of my chair in the theater.

     

    I want to see it so bad! That and The Shape of Water.

    I saw my buddy B at the gym recently and quoted this song, because he is a police officer in my city. He was in uniform talking to the front desk ladies and saw me and nodded. I pointed and said, "I ain't never ran from nothin' but the po-lice," before we shook hands. He laughed.
