i feel like Martin Scorsese was kinda right..... these arent movies anymore, just theme park experiences.
plots arent that important anymore, stories dont really matter, not really, all that it matters is great CGI effects, fast action scenes, colorful sets. good actors etc.
the last jedi might have looked great, might have had incredible effects and great creature and costume designs, might have had cool and interesting characters, amazing sets, sure, incredible action,
but the story of last jedi was just so poor...... the last jedi ruined so many of the things that force awakens had set up..... it didnt add much to the story, didnt really grow the story or characters much. people can love the last jedi but for me the last jedi was like a colorful cgi ride with a very thin plot.... seriously if you just read a summary of it, it sounds like a theme-park-ride plot.
if anything the failure of this movie will be because of how poor the last jedi was set up. this new movie had to both fix the damages of the last jedi made, do justice to the characters and bring a conclusion to the entire franchise. an almost impossible task.
im sure visually this new movie will be incredible, im sure the action will be excellent, im sure the cgi will be top notch,
thats all that matters now...
