    I wouldn’t consider myself a film critic but there are times when I need to side with the critic score over the audience score. Examples include: The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Men, The Monkey, Boondock Saints, Edit: punctuation

      I had no idea that critics liked The Last Jedi. I mean, so did I. But at least nice to know I’m not fuckin’ alone.

      Rise of Skywalker… These scores shock the hell out of me considering I’ve never heard anyone do anything other than complain about Rise of Skywalker

        I wouldn’t go so far as saying that I liked The Last Jedi, but I do think that it’s far and away the best of the sequels and a ton of the common criticisms are bullshit. I don’t think I’ve ever had to defend a movie that I didn’t really care for as much as this one.

        Now Rise of Skywalker? That one is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, and when weighted by the talent and budget that went into it I think an argument can be made for the worst of modern cinema. It’s the only star wars movie I’ll never watch again. I could feel the lazy pettiness from the theater chair. Like at least the other franchise-disrespecting blockbuster matrix resurrections was self aware, Rise of Skywalker was earnestly weightless and cheap
