Yeah I feel like I saw a different movie than everyone else with that one. I think everyone got on their respective hills willing to die based on the marketing, and no one was willing to change their opinions.
TLJ was actually the most misogynistic of all of the Star Wars movies. It was boring and unoriginal. It fails at everything related to action and adventure. Everything that happened in it was just stuff from ESB and RoTJ thrown into a blender with the point of those plotlines removed. It didn’t change anything about Star Wars, it just removed a bunch of things set up in the previous movie and added nothing to replaced it.
I was having problems with that movie, but after Snoke gets murdered, Rey and Ben have one of the best lightsaber fights in Star Wars history
Yeah after the big bad is killed, they fight some unnamed guards. That’s kinda the problem with TLJ in a nutshell, by trying to do everything backwards it removes the point of everything. Normally in an action movie they might fight some guards before facing the big bad to build up some tension. But in TLJ it’s just stuff that looks cool but there’s no point to it. There’s no tension when the main characters are fighting unnamed dudes. Who even were those guys?
Rian Johnson doesn’t understand action movies. Sure he made Looper, but that was basically the same plot as Terminator 2, except gangsters instead of robots, and had way less action. He just didn’t know how to make an action movie, but they gave him free reign on the middle movie of a trilogy.

Curious to know why you feel that way. I’ve heard chuds complain that it was too feminist, but I’ve never heard anyone claim it was misogynistic.

Yeah, I didn’t care. Snoke was a boring Palpatine knock-off (I mean, they literally retconned him to be his clone), and killing him off unceremoniously was the only interesting choice Johnson made that wasn’t undone by the end of the movie. And the guard fight is incredible. Aside from Darth Maul fight (which, admittedly, may be the best in the franchise), the fight scenes in the prequels have so many backflips and somersaults, overlaid with gratuitous CGI and green screen, that they felt like special effects instead of fight choreography. Fighting those 5 gaurds had more weight and higher stakes than Obi-Wan battling a CGI Grievous or jumping over green screen lava with anakin.
