It's like a time warp listening to it all, lol.
Yup, caught the last hour of NH and now we're onto TESB... as bad as the newer ones are, we'll always have these [Reply]

I would be interested to hear this to. My first thoughts are that the critics like the political statements behind the movie. I don't know if critiques are as Liberal as the rest of Hollywood but I assume they are. [Reply]

Because so much of what RJ put in the movie ran against the lore and myth is established by the previous 7 films (and especially the one the preceded it). Fans hated these changes and omissions because they went into the film expecting it to add to the Star Wars story, not purposefully rip it apart. I don’t think most critics caught these things or cared. But many parts of Episode VIII were poison to fans. [Reply]

Because critics are mindless whores who get bribed to push shitty movies. [Reply]
