I told myself I was going to watch this when the HD online was available. It's been out for a little bit now but I am feeling no motivation whatsoever to watch it. I haven't made any attempt to avoid spoilers.
Is there any reason for me to still watch it? I'm sure it will just be one giant task and hassle to get through it. But I still want to for posterity's sake.

watch it just to not misses the cringeworthy parts.
It's suffering. Saw it once and would prefer to never see it ever again. For comparison I watched The Force Awakens like 3-4 times.
Only scenes to rewatch is Luke saying he hates the Jedi and the Throne room fight
>Steelbook is of Rey
Now I can't even buy it to complete my collection because the worst female is on the cover
This. People shit on the choreography of the throne room fight but it was the only time I actually felt like I was watching a Star Wars movie. It was really cool compared to the meandering, bloated mess the rest was.
It’s still a really fun movie. Watch it and I bet you’ll have a lot of fun. I thought it had some flaws, but I still had so much fun watching.
Also Damaged Luke isn't so fucking bad. Did fans really want him to train Rey and be so positive? Rian just had no idea how to properly direct him but like I said the scene when he says the Jedi were the bad guys was my second favorite part because it felt like something from the EU.
>I formulated an opinion by listening to contrarian Sup Forums memers without actually watching the movie or making any attempt to think for myself
>SEE GUYS I FIT IN SO WELL I HATE THE MOVIE WITHOUT EVEN WATCHING IT? AM I A TRUE KINOSSEUR YET? HAHAHA FUCK DISNEY MIRITE?
watched it the other day and wish I hadn't
it's closer to satire
>fun

decent bait
who are you quoting?
a bad movie is a bad movie user
Damaged Luke wasn't the problem, it was the way it was executed. I think it would be more emotionally impactful and resonant if instead of Luke pulling a saber out on Kylo (which is pretty out of character), you should have either flashbacks spliced throughout the movie or the beginning where Luke is trying his best to help Ben, but Ben loses himself to Snoke, forms the Knights of Ren and destroys the temple, leaving Luke emotionally devastated. How he could save Darth Vader, but his nephew still succumbs to a cyclical fate, no matter how much he pleaded and tried to avoid it. This sends him into his depression we see in The Last Jedi. Would have made a lot more sense and wouldn't have been as nonsensical as what we got (Luke tries to kill Ben so then he immediately goes and destroys the temple and we don't even see the Knights of Ren? Just have to assume they coincidentally were also formed before this incident? wtf?)
It's not a terrible film, it's just not a particularly fun/action packed sort of star wars film. It's like Disney is terrified of branching out and doing ANY sort of unique or different store lines, at all when it comes to Star wars.
They once again just sort of re-re-re-re-tread over the same basic stuff from the past films. Another Cantina like scene but this time it's gambling. Training time, cave of blah blah again, another hoth like bunker door with a slowly moving enemy force.
I mean damn, do something different.
It's boring as fuck
its like watching a sci fi original movie. There are some laughably bad parts and some dumb action parts.
If you can't stand poorly structured films dont watch it. If you can still enjoy sloppy writing then DO watch it. Just dont give Disney your fucking money
The movie was objective shit and it has been proven time after time though
I'm not saying TLJ is flawless or even that you're obligated to like it, but if you pretend Sup Forums doesn't have an agenda in hating the movie you're delusional
People decided the new trilogy was going to suck as soon as they found out Disney was making it.
Nah it's fucking dreadful. I switched it off. So many better ways to spend an evening
>if you pretend Sup Forums doesn't have an agenda
You caught us, reddit. We want to encourage good movies to be made, Ruin Johnson had to fall
>anyone who disagrees with me is reddit/a shill
>but surely I don't have a dishonest agenda, no way!
Don't you want to see everyone's favorite Chinese janitor in glorious 4K resolution?
>>anyone who disagrees with me is reddit/a shill
Who are you quoting reddit?
>dishonest agenda
Encouraging good movies instead of The Last Shit? What's dishonest about that?
the best part of TLJ finally being out on home release is that you can burst out laughing at how shit it is every time it is shit, which is pretty often.
i rewatched last night. its a better star wars parody than space balls.
go rewatch it.
Go in with expectations or a sense of entitlement about what a star wars movie SHOULD be, like all the cancerous "fans" of the franchise, and you will be rewarded with a good story and some decent action scenes.
Could it have been better? Sure, but star wars was never that great of a franchise to begin with. It has cool moments from time to time but that's about it. There's literally nothing deeper in any of the movies that hasn't been projected onto it by the viewer through some sense of nostalgia. That's it. That's the whole fucking franchise.
All that being said I think it does stand out as a great star wars story. It felt like something out of the Old Republic stories or a game that appealed to niche fans who actually like seeing new ideas added to the franchise. My first tip off that this was the case was actually force awakens when all the sw nerds were screaming and crying about rey and how this isn't how the force works etc. that the average casual sw nerd is a fucking retard. It's a movie about space magic, knights and cowboys. It can literally be anything unless you're some faggot with no imagination.
In short; the movie is fine with some minor flaws if you just stop and leave your pretensions about your dumb star wars headcanon at the door and enjoy it for what it is.
>you will be rewarded with a good story and some decent action scenes
OH NO NO NO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
I never saw it in the first place....
It's disgusting that you actually paid money to see this.
HAHAHAHAHA I POSTED IT
I POSTED THE LAUGHING BLACK MAN MEME
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HERE'S A (((YOU)))
I hope you realize the irony in what you just said or are shitposting
>one layer of irony
Yeah you will be rewarded with the great story of a retarded admiral who caused a mutiny because she refused to share that she had a plan with the people who had to make it happen, this plan consisted in revealing a massiva retroactive plot hole that ruins the entire franchise, and let's not forget the amazingly human of two guys who go to a casino planet to get a tracker or some contrived plot device and ultimately amouns to nothing. Maybe the most enjoyable part is the story of the invincible Mary Sue getting two minutes of training from a guy who's actually weaker in the ways of the Force than her (and also a fucking psycho who almost killed his nephew and hid like a bitch while the nazis took over the galaxy despite the nu rebellion was looking for him) and then fucking off to her nonsensical husbandu who's a damaged bad boy and now the new Emperor I guess? Who knows LOL
The part of telling the same event in slightly different ways (but not really because it's the same thing in the last two) is very Kurosawian too
>boring
>Luke unrecognisable in a really stupid and offensive way
>Chewie reduced to cameo/comic relief with no meaningful role
>painful dialogue and jokes
>cliffhangers and mysteries set up from TFA resolved in an unsatisfying way or completely dropped altogether with no explanation
>bizarre, nonsensical plotlines and confusing character arcs
>multiple plot holes and continuity errors
>finished in a way that gives the audience little reason to care/be excited about part 3
Its been 3 months you fucking schizo, go take your meds and stop spamming every thread with your hurt anus.
Nobody cares how much it raped your childhood.
Its really bad. Boring, too long, pointless and they way they shit all over Luke Skywalkers legacy makes you sick.
literally the first TLJ thread I've made on Sup Forums.
>muuuuh Luke
If you're not autistic about lore, and just enjoy cool set pieces you'll have a good time.
>Is there any reason for me to still watch it?
Not really, it's easily the worst Star Wars movie ever
Posterity? surely you jest. Once there are 33258934758734 SW movies and the world moves from it´s current political agenda this movies will be quickly forgotten.
The world will only remember the original trilogy for it goodness. The prequels might also be remembered for the dull story, bad acting, poor CGI Yoda or the great light saber fights but that´s it.
These... things, Disney is making will lose themselves among the crowd of games, a riddiculous ammount of movies and tv shows and whatnot.
Watch it once just to see how bad it is in full but honestly apart from the few select clips posted here it's entirely forgettable.
Easily the worst star wars branded media I've ever seen and I watched the holiday special at least that was so bad it was unintentionally hilarious.
Tlj on the other hand is just tryhard bad it's not self aware yet literally stops in its tracks to quip and bash poorly constructed social commentary over your head and it doesn't even look good doing it.
If you want to skip any part of it skip the entire plotline about the casino planet.
The CGI and practical effects are horrible the acting is stilted and fake apart from edgelord Hamill and Poe
Everyone else chews on the scenery because the script gives them fuck all else to do while the movie blows so much smoke up its ass trying to subvert expectations Luke literally becomes hot air.
Movie legitimately soured my mood for weeks I fucking hated it felt like I'd lost my last idol I had growing up seeing skywalker running around a island acting like a retard while also keeping Hamill's comments in my head him say he fundamentally disagreed with soyboys vision of Luke and then it coming to light that they shot the movie based on the first draft of the script.
Nope fuck this movie.
If you want to have whatever star wars fandom in you killed off and lose the last part of your childhood go for it
>If you're not autistic about lore,
Or good writing and characters
remember a few years ago when it was announced disney was buying star wars rights and we all knew it was going to be shit, but deep down we held that tiny bit of hope that it would actually be good... Why couldn't it have just been good...
imagining Rey naked is fun
Watch it to know how not to make a Star Wars movie and how not to make a sequel to a movie/franchise in general. It's even more of an insult to intelligence if you watch the 7 episodes that happen before, or at the very least the OT and TFA.
It's pretty much a boring slog of a movie riddled with plot holes, unfitting dialogue, style over substance, and painting "killing the past" as "forgetting the past" in order to excuse the castration of everything that makes Star Wars such an icon, even to a point of driving amounts of people commit brand divorce.
dont do it
Best option. Or just listen to this while getting off your fat ass and going for a walk, you useless faggots.
