Users here find it bewildering that there are people promoting everything Disney on social media in their free time in order to get tagged by Disney as "micro-influences" and get $10 discount for a bottle of water next trip to Disneyland.

If most of the world including me doesn't count on RT I don't care what it has to say. imdb is still king

Very low number of votes makes it incredibly easy to inflate by the disney moms and wanabee disney influencers etc etc. Not trustworthhy. I don't see any big studio movie with a rotten verified score ever.

But the verified score is the easiest to rig, you can do it on a budget of a few thousands dollars. Plus it doesn't take anyone into account except Americans who used fandango. imdb score and unverified is way better representation of the mood for the film

The only thing TLJ left the trilogy to end with is tiny Rebellion vs Empire, Rey against Kylo after she's already beaten him twice, and all the the useless side characters Rian didn't know what to do with. Maybe for some people Rey vs Kylo conflict/romantic overtones would be enough but obviously the people who made the decisions didn't think so.

I think a lot of disney friendly publications are taking what little he said about his sequel ideas out of context, to make it seem like he would make some abomination and we should be happy for getting JJ and RJ. From what context there is the movies wouldn't be about force biology or osmosis jones, there would be something like those clone wars episode where Yoda meets the ghost of Qui Gon and the five priestesses. So a lot more spiritual than mechanical

More than one reviewer used the term "non-stop" action. Very fast paced, heavy on exposition, heavy on action scenes. Will probably know more how china would feel about it after we see it

Reviews say SW9 is non stop action, so maybe China will like that? But then again they say the plot is very convoluted so maybe not?

JJ had the best chance to turn Star Wars into marvel status, which is mass appeal in all markets. And all of the markets gave it a chance, the marketing push by Disney was huge. But it didn't stick, probably because he just made an okish movie that doesn't work as well without the nostalgia factor missing from these markets. And Lucasfilm doubled down on that tactic with Rogue One and the chance just kept getting smaller and smaller, to where i think It's impossible for the SW brand to take off there now. It's not like DC universe when they can just reboot with another actor and different take on the character. It's one continuous thing. And it seems to be done. I would put money whatever George planned to do would have more appeal in China/India/Latin America because it wouldn't be a remake of a 40 year old movie and trying to imitate its aesthetics.

Clint Eastwood : If you enjoy superhero movies hand in your man-card

Know what's an underrated Scorcese movie? The Age of Innocence. That ending makes me bawl everytime

I was only joking lol, but I do plan to rewatch it because there was a lot of great insight there and a lot of great movie recommendations I've forgotten.

Today I'm rewatching "My voyage trough Italy", to own the libs

Just too woke for people not trained in the art of wokeness.

How do you know that he hasn't watched any Marvel movie? When asked he said "He tried" , that means he must have given at least a few of the movies a shot

😓 God save us from the upcoming blue check-mark rage, we will have to listen again how redneck mohawk alien dying made them more emotional than the Godfather

screw china censors

does anyone else

Don't follow the economy that closely but I had some small savings and a friend told me it's a good idea to buy gold because it's a safe haven in an unpredictable and weak economy, that was about a year ago and gold was $1200, now it's $1500. So for me it not only worked as a safe haven but made money of it too. And apparently it still has ways to go

Got to see it. Emotional and thought provoking movie also unpredictable ,I liked that It kept me surprised and guessing throughout it

I was on the money, this is why critics love knives out so much. It's basically critic bait the movie. Waiting for general audience reactions.

It is panned though, it's 68% all critics and 44% top critics, if you were to trust RT it's a completely unremarkable movie you could just skip which is anything but. Truth is most of these critics on RT are part of the same hugbox as most of these journalist that can't handle 8 hours without writing another hot take on Joker. It's obvious its affecting their reviews. People laugh at IMDB TOP 250 but RT proudly displays Black Panther as the number one movie of all time, I don't think that system is more trustworthy.

RT means even less as shown with The Joker and the Chapelle Special

Because when Scorsese finally sees the cinematic diamond mine that is GOTG 2 his perceptions about wghat is and what isn't cinema will be shattered

By hiring then firing Trevorrow, Katelyn K. Kennedy ruined any chances that episode IX or Fallen Kingdom will be good
