Some say it bypassed TLJ which im relieved of , i had a feeling it would turn out good

Of course people that hated the movie before it was released are going to claim the positive reviews are fake

From the current spoilers it is basically a remake of Return of the Jedi, continue the remaking tradition of JJ.
shareThey could have been shown a black screen for two hours and they would say it's a epic conclusion. Damn, they praised the Last Jedi! 😅
Until we have some independent reviews, the ones coming mean nothing. Disney has just selected the usual NPCs to praise whatever they threw to them.
Most ive read didnt rate tlj or solo very well
shareTLJ got a 85 in metacritic. That's a BIG score for a pop-corn movie. To compare, Jumanji, that same xmas, only got a 58. And the Joker, this year, it just got a 59.
Right now, the only pop-corn movie above that number would be "Little Feminists" , I mean, "Little Women", with a 91.
Further proof that those review sites aren't worth the bandwidth they take up.
shareJohn Campea didn't like it, if that man didn't like it......Oh...boy
shareOf course they're going to call it an "epic conclusion". That's why they were invited.
Wait until the real and honest reviews from actual people (Disney ass-kissers don't count) and we'll see what they have to say.
Here's the ending I'd like:
Luke wakes up on Endor and realizes the last three films were a final test from Yoda
I am not buying it; it seems they said the last thing about TLJ and look how that movie was. Also I almost rarely see the early reviews giving harsh criticism to any large budget blockbuster. There seems to be an unspoken rule that if a film is 'supposed' to make a lot of money then the early viewing critics do not judge as harshly or they risk losing the early review privileges.
Also some of the headlines and reviews i have read have been using very vague language and not actually calling it good. They are saying thinks like "epic" or "phenomenal". These words can be related to something being bad or good. Other words to watch out for are things like "solid", "satisfying", "interesting", "unexpected", or words of this nature. Usually this is an indication that the critic thought something was weak but does not want to put a negative word to it.
I know what you are saying. Here are a few headlines I have come across:
"This certainly is a movie, all right." - The New York Times
"Star Wars has released 3 trilogies!" - Washington Post
"2 hours and 21 minutes of time passed. I'm Scott Mendelson, I have diabetes." - Scott Mendelson, movie knowerabouter
"This certainly is a movie, all right." - The New York Times
lol is that one a real quote? I say that sometimes in jest at some of the reviews I have read. that would be great if they actually said that
Not real, but I would love to see something like that. Something similar to that phrase came from a book I read as a kid and it struck me as funny, so I still remember it.
