    That’s the secret to enjoying movies!

      • On another note, the Mandalorian season finale was tasty- directed by Taiks Waititi and full of prequel easter eggs and a stark throwback to Rebels material. Gus Fring is fantastic as Moff Gideon- glad he’s back next season. They knocked this season out of the park.

          That's fine, it would probably be over your head.

            Rotten Tomatoes also has the same story. Rating Star Wars/Marvel franchise entries only by attendance is pointless, most are going to see them, it's what they think of them that matters.

            TFA - Critics: 93%, Audience: 86%
            TLJ - Critics: 91%, Audience: 43%
            TRoS - Critics: 55%, Audience: 86%

            Solo - Critics: 70%, Audience: 63%

            When critics approve and the audience doesn't, wokeness is one component that could be a factor. Star Wars is at its best when playing to the large mythological substructure as the main driver of the story with social commentary naturally woven in. When the social commentary takes the driver's seat, the audience notices--because the story suffers. The critics however, see the woke narrative as a positive.
            Exactly.

              Great last episode. The opening scene had us all laughing.
              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                Jason Sudeikis was the one with the bag. I didn’t recognize the name of the other one.

                  Yes because critics and film experts are trained to screen for ‘woke messaging’ above all and disregard the other essential elements of filmmaking. I’m sure you have that same exact training and critical eye (except better) and were able to make an even better assessment of the movie than 91% of professional film critics.

                          Star Wars is the latest tool in the multiculturalist war on masculine Christian hetero males.

                            Critics thought Shakespeare in Love was a better movie than Saving Private Ryan...so I rarely trust critics.
