Different but NECESSARY

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2017)

I find it odd that people think this movie is so bad. I think it was because viewer's heads were on a swivel the whole time. The expectations for this movie were too simple, original, and based on fan theories. When people didn't get what they wanted, they called it the worst movie ever. I agree I wanted Luke's role to be stronger, Finn and Rose to have a more meaningful part, and a Snoke backstory, but it is what it is. I think because this took a step away from the textbook write up for a Star Wars movie people are hating on it. I am sure if people understand the point of the movie to move forward in the story instead of more cameos and the same lines, there would be much more appreciation. I myself did not like a good number of what happened in the movie, but you have to understand the reasoning behind it and realize that, it had some killer moments in there that made people amazed. I hate how this is tearing Star Wars fandom apart, but there will never be satisfaction. TFA was too similar to the originals, and it was criticized, now the TLJ is not that similar to the original, and is being criticized. Just recognize the good aspects of both and lets wait until 9. Assuming J.J. doesn't screw that up.
