Nope, definitely one of the worst.

Yes.

Yes, it absolutely is.

**** yeah.

I filled my GF's ear nonstop about how good it was, and she caved in and came when I saw it again! Similar reaction, except she doesn't sleep at a movie, she reads.

I luckily went with another Star Wars fan, and she loved it as much as I did. Second showing (same night, we might be slightly nuts) we had an even better time sharing the jokes.

Probably is.

It's at least the best SW movie for non-geeks.

Nope!! But it's better than the Holiday Special but that's not saying much.

Something something dealing in absolutes...

So does anyone really like TLJ but did not like at all TFA?

T minus 4 hours and 5 minutes to see TLJ.

Don't make fun of Chewbacca's dedication to life day!

I find it fascinating how divisive this movie is. The general audience seems to be loving this film, saying it is possibly the best of all the Star Wars films, while a good percentage of hard core Star Wars fans are putting it at or below Phantom Menace levels. (I still think Attack of the Clones is the worst prequel movie, but I am in the minority.)

I enjoyed TFA but did not love it. I love TLJ.

Absolutely. Quite a few fans liked it was well, myself included.

Fans are more likely to review a movie on a website than a casual movie goer. (kinda proving my point.)

I mean I really enjoyed Bigsby Bear, but not enough to write a review on it. (Good movie, I recommend going into it blind.) Vs. Star Wars where I will let you know how I feel in approximately 3 and a half hours when I leave the theatre.... (Both starring Mark Hamill)

This is also true of fans of the previous movies. I find most of the complaints to be nonsensical, but there is absolutely passion and vigor behind them. I think, in this case, your argument might reverse itself.

Audience made their statement by not going to watch it in the first place, 40% of those that saw bvs refused to go to see justice league.

Its barely made 200 mil domestic it lost 70% of its attendance the first week, 60% the second.

Literally only the die hard fans went to watch it so only they posted reviews the haters like myself stayed home we knew to wait for reviews and skipped the movie once they landed.

400 mil of the world wide take was mostly China and WB make less than 10 cents on the dollar, this film massively bombed.

Star wars fans were never going to skip this movie, I was meh on tfa and didn't like rogue one but I still went to the first showing I could.

Its down to 59% now BTW.

Uhhhh spoilers guys! If you were wondering! Spoilers below!

Wow this is incredible. Is it the best Star Wars ever? Some people say yes. Is it the worst Star Wars ever? Some people also say yes.

I thought it was a huge let down. The pacing was ****, the jokes were dumb and took me out of the movie, and all I could think was why does any of this matter? I feel like you could walk into IX without having seen VIII and all you’d say is: what happened to Luke? Did Kylo kill Snoke? Yeah? They’re both dead? Okay, cool, I didn’t miss anything. I don’t know...I feel like it was the make or break movie for the sequel trilogy, and it was more break than make. I hope I’m wrong.

Try using a "spoiler" tag by typing [spolier] before the stuff you want to keep hidden, and then /spoiler in brackets at the end.

Let's be real for a second-- it was, at minimum better than several of the worst Marvel movies that all earned better RT scores. I would dare anybody to tell me, with a straight face, that Thor: The Dark World was better than Justice League.
