So the soundtracks mixed low like Thor?barring the fact you'll have to crank it up and play it at reference, a great audio accompaniment.
I don’t get the hate for this film. Ok it’s no Empire but it’s nowhere near as bad as the internet would have you believe. Just my opinion and I’m not easily pleased..:
I don’t see your argument for me being patronising for having an opinion. I saw this on release with my son - I wasn’t overly mad on it but he hated it. His hate was fuelled by the outpouring of hate and condemnation on forums like this. I decided to get a second opinion and sat down with a friend of mine who explained one or two things I didn’t understand or hated and gave it a second go.OK, but it's patronising to acknowledge it's just your opinion, whilst dismissing counter-opinions as some kind of internet brainwashing. The reviewer herein also pointed out elements that he did not appreciate, was he also internet-brainwashed?
It will be interesting to see what the home video release adds to the debate that's probably still raging. I put myself in the camp that hated it enough to not go for a 2nd or 3rd watch at the cinema, no desire to ever see it again. But like most I will now venture a home-watch, just out of curiosity, as without the shock-and-awe of the first time round, maybe the positives excel and the negatives diminish.
Summed it up perfectly IMO.Not sure many will describe The Last Jedi as "unmissable". I would say "avoid at all costs".
Having a nice picture is all well and good, but content is king, and this film is a steaming pile of doo doo. I'd rather watch the original trilogy on VHS.
I'm not sure what enlightenment you could gain from an explanation? There's nothing particularly complicated about the film.I don’t see your argument for me being patronising for having an opinion.

Sure there are a couple of scenes that make me cringebut a second screening cleared the majority of my doubts after talking to a guy who is a walking Star Wars encyclopaedic nutterLuke flicking the dust of his shoulder the biggest one - so unlike what a Jedi what do

About where it fitted in the whole Star Wars universe- not just the cinematic one.I'm not sure what enlightenment you could gain from an explanation? There's nothing particularly complicated about the film.
And that of course is your opinion. But it appears that because I didn’t hate it I’m not entitled to mine -it is, its total garbage, I thought rogue 1 was bad but compared to this that was good. I laughed in all the wrong places
No you are entitled to your opinion, as is everyone, particularly in a discussion forum. But it jars me when people express their opinion, whilst alluding to other opinions being worthless. Your original post patronised anyone else's opinion as being victims of an internet conspiracy. Subsequent posts have expressed a different opinion to yours, but have not gone overboard in outright criticising you or yours, but nobody said you aren't entitled to express it. Just replying to you with a different opinion isn't an attack, a reply is almost a default action in a forum, otherwise why bother contributing?And that of course is your opinion.

I think the film should stand on its own merits to a point. Obviously it's one piece of a larger story but ultimately it was a disappointing viewing. That said I've got the uhd coming Monday and I'll give it another go. I've heard from many people, including yourself that it's better second time around. And cinema experience is always a lot worse than at home anyway.About where it fitted in the whole Star Wars universe- not just the cinematic one.
I’m obviously in the minority where I actually find it watchable so I’ll in-subscribe from here and let the haters rejoice in how bad they think it is...

I'm really torn with this film. I'm an avid star wars fan. The first film I saw in the cinema at age 7 was star wars.
I want to watch in 4k on my big tv in my atmos room but nothing makes me want to watch it a 2nd time, i left the cinema when I saw it feeling deflated and disappointed it's like the director took every thing that makes a star wars film great and then threw it out in favour of shock value and the most ridiculous slow motion space chase ever. Everytime I think of it I just get a flash back to the Austin powers slow death scene with the guard and the road roller...... I feel it's just the same with me shouting noooo at the screen in just the same way
Best saber battle is not in this film, that belongs to the classic Ep 1 battle between Obi-Wan and Maul
