The one bright spot was Season One of The Mandalorian (I can’t judge the subsequent seasons as I haven’t seen them). I expect he regrets that sale, whether he will say so publicly or not. In fact, I wished they’d stop and sell it all back to Lucas. I have low hopes for any further DIsney Star Wars films. At least the prequels had intricate plots that told an overall story with a solid arc, unlike the horrible mish-mash that were the Disney sequels.īut that’s just rehashing old ground. I’d rather rewatch the prequels, as bad as those were, over any of the sequels. Forgettable dialogue, inconsistent characterization, dreadful pacing, pointless action, absurd and illogical plots, and spectacle for spectacle’s sake. These two just weren’t in fact, they were horrid. Hey, I’m a Star Wars fan I want all Star Wars movies to be good. Granted, after the travesty that was TLJ, I wasn’t expecting much from TRoS, but I had hopes it would be better than the bloated mess we got. And that opinion is based solely on my viewing of the films- I had no bias either way going in, because overall I liked TFA (aside from the pointless death of Han Solo). TLJ and TRoS were objectively bad movies- in fact, in my opinion, they sucked- and they would have sucked whether they were Star Wars films or something else. I don’t give a bantha’s behind about the Rotten Tomatoes rating, new or old. TLJ is 91 on the Tomato Meter, and 42 on the fanbomb, while TRoS is 51 on Tomato Meter and 86 on the "cannot be review bombed" rating. If you look at the critics numbers (which didn't have a change in metric between movies), it's almost exactly opposite. It confirms your bias, though, so you're going to simply be proudly wrong. Saying "TLJ rates that high because they changed the rating system" is counter-factual it rates that low because it was review bombed. I mean, TLJ is literally one of the examples of "This movie has a low score because of a review bombing campaign, which is one of the reasons we changed the way reviews were calculated." because people decided it was terrible before they went to the theater. Rotten Tomatoes ratings are, in this case, useless, because TLJ is done on an entirely different scale that TRotS. The irony being, if you take it OUT of Star Wars, and remove the SW elements from it, it would have been a fairly cool generic science fiction movie. TLJ earned what it got by being a TERRIBLE Star Wars movie. It wasn't a great movie, but (aside from the character assassination performed on Nick Fury) it wasn't a bad movie either. I agree Captain Marvel was review-bombed.
