I love your reaction thread lol. I won't be seeing the movie until it's out to rent but I've been hearing a lot of unhappy rumblings (and I saw a spoiler and was like um what?!).

I think what made it hardest to watch was the way they tore apart all the interesting things Rian Johnson did in TLJ. Yeah, that wasn't a perfect film BUT he made a movie that made you think. I literally forgot most of RoS after I left the theater except for the feelings of just being supremely disappointed.

I've started a notes page on my iPhone for any time I think of something that I want rant about LOL It has become quite long

Your reaction is about the same as mine.
Cheesy and predictable much?

[orangerful]

I KNOW! And it never took a moment to breathe or anything. There is a #ThankYouRianJohnson hashtag on twitter right now that is giving me life because I was starting to feel like I was the only person that didn't like it.

Wow.

[orangerful]

Yeah. I think the most frustrating part is being able to see how easily things could have been fixed. They pulled from many tropes but not the ones that mattered.
