I am a villain too, because everyone fears me not using contractions.
I don't think that's how it works...
The Last Jedi is not a bad film but has issues, for me the main problem is a disconnect with the themes from TFA and the stuff that tries to make subversions to SW creating more problems that they are worth(Rey parents being nobodies is a great idea in theory but they kinda make her powers questionable).

Plus the themes of sacrifices in vain is kinda executed sloppily, as some situations kinda required them. Overall I liked it, but wish they handled things better.
What's this? Constructive Criticism of a bad movie? Surely this can't real.

Being serious I agree. TLJ was executed in an incredibly poor fashion, and that's why it's bad.

Pffft it was a big advertisement **** fest but being so adamantly against it is so 3 years ago

I am so glad they killed off Snoke.
What a garbage villain.
What made him garbage was because of that killing off Shiny. The movie made no attempt to capitalize on the set-up established in TFA and instead cuts it off along with any investment we may have had for the character...

...I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
I’m also ****in joking. Again. Wade mate you can’t just respond to everything like they’re serious all the time and then play it off like you knew it was a joke. Mate, the crash was 3 years ago. You have to move on. Please wake up. We miss you. I don’t know when this message will get to you, or how, but your family misses you. Please, wade.

Wasn't Snoke there to JUST be the big bad and had no other plans?

Star Wars talk?

Revenge of the Sith had a glaring problem:
So you know how we are supposed to be sad for Obi-Wan, because Anakin is evil and stuff?
Here is the thing we only got a movie and an intro to show their bond. In Attack of the Clones, Anakin is constantly yelling at Obi-Wan.
Most people want to see Obi-Wan and Anakin be friends and go on adventures, not yell at each other 24/7. This is not Family Guy.
Thankfully, the Clone Wars redeems this a lot.

Problem with killing off Snoke was they were seemingly building him up to be The Big Bad who didn't have anything known to him then suddenly out of nowhere kill him off in the dumbest way possible.

I actually didn't mind the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Don't @ me.
Honestly I think they’re a little overrated, a pendulum swing has happened were people who dislike the sequel have been putting the prequels on a pedestal.

I think episode 1 is pretty much pointless in the grand scheme of things, you can honestly start with episode II and you hardly wouldn’t miss anything. Darth Maul lightsaber fights are the best in the series and pod racing is fun.

Episode II is better, it starts slow, but I feel the Obi-wan storyline is interesting throughout the whole movie. Anakin/padme doesn’t get interesting until they go to Tatooine. Clones are dope, but Dooku lightsaber battle was pretty underwhelming.

Episode III is a pretty competent movie throughout.

I feel that honestly the clone war series is the best material of the prequels, I love Obi-Wan’s mandalorian arc, ahsoka is great character, Anakin’s characterization, and clones are super dope.

Oh, you made me remember the Emoji Movie exists.
Label that movie as "offensive", considering they hired workers for that.

Okay here's another question, Excluding the Avengers movies what is your favorite stand alone MCU film? I'm sure most if not all of us have at least seen one of the MCU films.

Anyways mine would be Doctor Strange I like the OST and his theme is great, I like the effects, I like the character progression of Strange from being an absolute D-Bag to one of the coolest MCU Heroes (in my opinion), I like Strange's abilities, I like Strange's Design and I like the supporting cast like Mordo and Wong.

What a garbage villain.
Half the reason he was garbage cause they basically did nothing with him and then killed him off to subvert expectations instead of having good writing.

That’s why Darth Sidious is coming back lol

Like, for real, I don't think I can stress enough how good the Force Bonding scenes are
It's just a simple shot/reverse-shot. Literally the most basic and boring ass technique to use in any dialogue scene. It's bland and there's no symbolic meaning behind it.
So why does it work so well here? What makes this scene so GOOD?
It's the fact it takes this technique that has been used well over a century to hide the fact films are fictional, and uses it in a way that would normally break that idea. Normally, a shot/reverse-shot with characters in two different places would break immersion but here it does the opposite and actually manages to feel like they're truly in the same place through the use of the film's own lore. And this wouldn't have worked, or at least wouldn't be as effective, in any other way. Had they just put the actors together in the set and changed it occasionally, it wouldn't have felt the same. We feel that Rey and Kylo are together yet also apart at the same time and it just serves as a way to show the power of the Force without ever actually using any special or practical effects... just a basic film technique.

But eh, why am I even saying this? People are gonna go whine about how they don't like some plot point or character instead of understanding that a film is more than just its narrative and nitpicking plot points apart.
And also, even when you analyze the narrative, all it takes is two brain cells to see what the themes of the movie actually are.

But eh, what do I even know, right? I mean, it's not like I'm majoring Film and study this **** daily.

Mine is Antman, even including the Avengers movies.

Alrighty... let's not take things that far...

People who constantly complain and nitpick can be annoying, but let's not compare them to nazis.

Do the nanomachines created by stark industries get their own movie specifically about them? Nah

Game and Watch is basically kinda like that
This is Game and Watch erasure

I was being sarcastic and making fun of the many people who compared TLJ haters to nazis

In terms of pure evilness of cinematic villains this year. Palpatine not doubt will rank up there with Joker and King Ghidorah.
