in these days of polarization and misunderstanding can we NOT all agree that we all bore witness to an abomination of biblical proportions, bury it in the neighbor's backyard and promise to never speak of it again? I get the moral outrage, having your childhood destroyed and memories that no alcoholic binge can ever erase, but can't we at least tell future generations that we tried???
personally, i'm so tired of having diversity and inclusion being forced on our society that i could scream. if it can't happen organically, then having the 'get along gestapo' beating people over the head isn't going to change things.
that being said, my complaints about the LAST JEDI are that it was a bad movie. whether it was due to the cast, the writers or that the director had no prior knowledge of the Star Wars storyline and didn't desire to do any research is irrelevant to me. it was just a bad movie. can we not just all say that and get on with our lives? hmmm?
i'm blaming the writers. it's not like he was out there clooney-ing up the place. i might have liked to see him in a stand alone movie to contrast it with the two train wrecks that he was shackled to. keaton had good writing as did bale, would they have done as well without the solid story telling?
@mistertech: i'm not saying that every movie in the various Marvel 'phases' was perfect, there were clunkers to be sure. but c'mon, even the casual viewer was able to recognize some skilled acting, story telling and could see a coherent thread running through the Cap, Thor, Iron Man etc films that DC badly lacked. especially if you take out the Bats cameos. there were a lot of bad assumptions on DC's part: not every actor can be the Bat, pushing a Luthor and Joker who don't thrill the audience may not work out as planned and finally, if your jumping off point (batman v. superman) doesn't fly, then you might want to regroup THEN instead of 3-4 movies afterwards (especially if one of your misses is supposed to be your crown jewel i.e. Justice League)
