    I used to think it was just man-babies on the internet who hated Last Jedi, but judging by Solo's absolute rejection it looks like audiences gave it a collective shrug. Certainly didn't come close to hitting the cultural zeitgeist of Black Panther/Infinity War outside of maybe nerd-specific internet boards, so sub-$500m dom wouldn't surprise me :L

    Show me some statistics that say people ignored Solo because TLJ was „badly received“. TLJ was divisive, but at the same time it means that it‘s wildly adored by many. I saw the movie three times with three different people. The one girl gave it a 6/10 and still hasn’t changed her mind, but the other two guys absolutely adored the movie, just some personal observation.

    The critical reception is a sight for sore eyes. 39% 5.5 average and a 53 on Metacritic. That is the most shocking thing by far regarding its run especially considering the critical track record of this franchise.

     

    This film will do well enough (probably around $720m WW), so they're fine. But Rowling and WB need to pay attention to the critics in order to make better films. 

     

    I saw the film, and rank it higher than CoS and GoF. I need to see it one more time but right now it's a B/B-. Which is a shame because the final act is killer and the character of Leta Lestrange is simply one of my favorites in the entire universe. You can tell A LOT was cut...and Rowling needs help. Her imagination is as fertile as ever..and the CoG would have been the best in the entire series if she plotted it out more and gave more breathing room to some characters. 

     

    Nicolas Flamel was funny but totally unnecessary. He could have been cut completely and there would have been no difference to the film. 

     

    But yes, the last act is amazing. And my God, the music is fucking phenomenal in this film. 

    I‘m curious why you hate GoF so much? As a book purist, I guess you can criticize many decisions, but to me it is still one of the most entertaining. The climax on the graveyard still gives me goosebumps, Ralph Fiennes is just that good.
