@Thorstein Omg in heaven! What a fucking comment of enlightenment you've provided! :O There's just no way I'll be able to match up to this mans intellectual superiority! :O

I'm so very sure that you have went out of your way to survey every viewer of the Last Jedi. By the way, nice misleading the numbers. Rounding up much?

Even if your numbers were dead on, it absolutely doesn't explain how every viewer felt about the movie. Because you simply don't have the information. Nor do I have the perfect information. But God knows that this has stormed up some conversations and differences of opinion more than I have yet to see in any other Star Wars film to date.

I'd like to point out that my entire argument was based on Rotten Tomatoes in the first place, yet you're trying to say that I'm talking about domestic viewers. The title of this article is "audiences and critics have divisive opinions on Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

And your quick and young response was "Actually. No. They really, really aren't"... as if you have the knowledge as to how every single viewer who watched this movie felt about it. You're sitting here spitting on about thousandth's of percents when the whole argument is not even about Rotten Tomatoes reviews relative to the population that saw the film.

So I will not do as you have done and manipulate numbers, I'll just tell you from my perspective what people were doing and saying directly after the film. I'd like to make clear that these viewers do not represent the entirety of all audiences, nor do their opinions matter any more than anyone else's.

The audience that I saw was filled with fans young and old her were wearing their Star Wars merch and came in excited to see a Star Wars movie, not a movie, not a comedy, a Star Wars movie. I know this because all of the one's that I saw came out of the theater dissapointed; they were complaining about tone, what was done with Luke's character, the useless plot that was Rose and Finn, the useless character that was Rose, etc. etc.

^These are the things that *I* saw leaving the film. I'm not going to use any of the "THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER REEEEEEEEE" reviews as evidence of the movie being positive, just as much as you and I both won't use the "THIS IS THE WORST STAR WARS MOVIE EVER" reviews as evidence of it being negative.

All we can look at now is perspective. You are not going to factually prove to me that a majority of viewers loved the film, just the same on the other side of the road. I cannot factually prove to you that the majority of viewers did not enjoy the film. No one here is any bubble, because you simply cannot prove how every single viewer felt about the movie, so don't pretend that you can. I feel like maybe you spit out so many numbers in spite of what KillZallthebeast said honestly.

@Avery,

Look. I rounded up. The math skews towards the negative numbers (actually against my statement).

I watched it twice (so far) and like I said. I was in a theater with a standing ovation the first time and applause the second.

Your audience was mixed/ leaning toward disappointed. Okay. But, how does that make that "AudienceS have a divisive opinion?"

It was your sensational headline. Not mine. I simply pointed out that what people say online is very, very different from reality.

For instance, if you based your world view on what people post online, then you'd think the world is a pretty crappy place.

But...a hurricane hits and all these people step up and help out. A mass shooting and people step up to lead others to safety. Wildfires and people step up to fight it and protect others. Terrorist attack and people step up.

There is less crime, violence, rape, abortions, divorce, theft, than in the last 4 decades because people are good. Yet, if we look online we see some of the worst.

300 Nazis showed up in Charlottesville and that was all the media could talk about. They ignore peaceful protests all of the time. 300 nazis? What about the March for Science? 40,000.

Media is negative all the time. I called you out for your negativity. That is all.

His behavior is perfectly reasonable considering he failed to revive the Jedi Order and his nephew turned to the Dark Side. He had every right to be a self-loathing lonesome hermit. The scene with Yoda is very telling...Luke had the Jedi scriptures, the temple, the island....and still failed. He couldn’t understand why because he was so absorbed, so obsessed with following the books. He didn’t trust in his feelings, that is why he failed. But Yoda told him failure is one of the best instructors.

@DaMist
Ah yes, I see now. Thanks for the clarification. In which case, yeah I had no problem with how Lukes character was. Were people expecting him to be the same as the original trilogy?? I thought the movie captured a great Luke Skywalker for the stage of life he's at and considering everything that had happened between return of the Jedi and the last Jedi.
