Anyone been to see The Last Jedi? I thought it was decent overall, it wasn;t horrendous but it wasn't amazing either, it was like watching a TV show just because there were so many small sub plots going on. But hey each to their own

{Ed001's Note - just got back from seeing it earlier, I liked it personally, though it did jump around a bit much and tried to cover too much at once.}

Thought it was fantastic, definitely one of the best Star Wars films, it's bold and refreshing. Don't know what so many of the 'fans' are complaining about, it's like they want to dislike it just because it's different. Yes, there are flaws but the level of hate aimed at it is over-the-top and out-of-proportion (e.g. too many women fighting for the rebels? Absolutely ridiculous criticism). I was very, very young when Phantom Menace came out so I wasn't aware then, but in all honesty I'm now not surprised the child actor that played young Anakin in that film went off the rails due to the bullying he received after, the fanbase is ridiculously toxic.

{Ed001's Note - I am glad I am not the only one who enjoyed it. It was just a good film that could stand alone as a good film regardless of if it was Star Wars or not.}

Not sure if that's aimed at me or not but I'll pretend it is, I didn't think it was horrendously bad but I didn't put it in wow OMG category either, a good film, decent. And I don't count myself as a hardcore Star Wars guy even if I did wear my Star Wars top to the cinema!

Nah it wasn’t aimed at you Welsh, sorry for not making it clear. Just meant quite a large portion of the fan base is rather toxic and this film has once again exposed that. It’s clearly a hugely divisive film though, I see most fans rating it as either the best since Empire or the worst since Phantom Menace.

No worries zpecialone, I'm all for a female and ethnic lead stars, just wish Marvel would hurry up and follow suit although Black Panther is on its way out
