oanjaI saw it on wednesday and I've been thinking about it since, kinda trying to wrap my head around it. I think maybe I should go see it again, because maybe I would like it more the second time, but from one viewing I have to say I didn't like it.
Things I didn't like:
-It was too bloody long. I kept thinking: when is this over? Which is never a good thing
- Way too much Kylo Ren stuff. I have zero interest in him or his stupid emo bad guy thing
- That completely unnecessary sidetrack to the casino planet. How long did that trip take? I think they only had 6 hours to get there and back and then on top of that all the shit they did on the planet. No way... also those stupid horse/dog things why? Also that one little kid using the force at the end, why? I doubt he'll be in the next one
- The way the resistance was destroyed. How many of them survived? They made it sound like those were the only rebels anywhere!!! the fuck?
- Luke dying and Leia not dying. How is that going to work in the next one? All CGI Leia? Why?
- Poe's stupid rebellion stuff that could have been solved by that general having one chat with him. Why was she so adamant about nobody knowing her plan? Poe in general felt really lackluster somehow, what was that?
- They went out of their way to make everyone super straight. Why do the actors keep queerbaiting us when they know all this shit happens in the movie?
- The movie making Ray/Kylo the endgame pairing. I'm calling it now. They're goiing to get together in the last movie and found some new type of jedi order after Kylo has been turned back to the light somehow
- Luke died. :(
- That mini deathstar lazer canon thing, wtf?
-They never showed what was in that small pool inside the force cave thing. Rey sat on the edge of it and everything and yet! They kept blocking it, so I kept thinking it was going to be important but I guess it wasn't?
- That stupid mirror thing in the dark side cave, how would that tempt anyone to the dark side? (also when did Rey learn to swim?)
- Did they ever explain how the bad guys were tracking the rebels? I forget.
Things I liked:
- That Rey isn't related to anyone we know
- Rey in general was great
-That fight where they kill Snoke
- Yoda was kind of funny (could have appeared a but sooner!) Also why doesn't Anakin's ghost talk some sense into Kylo wtf are these ghosts even worth?
-That part where the guy put coins inside BB-8 that was cute although it made no sense. I doubt its hollow inside
- Luke throwing the light saber over his shoulder, everyone laughed at that in the cinema.
I think there were other things, but anyway... I guess my expectations were too high and that's why I felt let down. Now that I think about it I can't remember how it ended. Like they went into the millenium falcon but what were they going to do after?
