That’s not changing anyone’s mind. Also, not good comparisons at all. Battlefield Earth is straight up unwatchable.
Super Mario Bros is horrible, but oddly entertaining. (The production story on that movie is INSANE! I don’t remember where I heard it, either on YouTube or a podcast, if I find it, I’ll post it… but the absolute HELL they went through trying to make that movie and the studio and producers shitting over everything…..)
The Last Jedi was mostly bad because it wasn’t a Star Wars movie. It was a Mad Max movie set in the Star Wars universe. The Casino planet was the thing that took you right out of the movie. Without the casino planet scenes, The Last Jedi is probably a B/B+ movie. It’s honestly like Rian Johnson watched Mad Max Fury Road, then he watched the original Casino Royale James Bond and was like, “Hey, these movies belong together.” And for some reason decided to crash Rose Tico into Finn and say that she was saving him…
Quite honestly, there were only 2 parts of the movie that were like, “Oh yeah… I can get behind this movie”. The first was when Vice Admiral Holdo gets everybody off the ship and sends hers lightspeed through the Imperial ship. It was a brilliant scene and you could believe that someone in the Star Wars universe would do that.
The second was Luke’s Force Projection and Kylo ordering all the weapons fire upon him then going down himself. Again… another great scene where you actually FELT like, “THIS was the Star Wars movie I came to see!” The Luke and Rey shit was disappointing. It kept ALMOST feeling like Dagobah, but Luke’s attitude and the green boob milk and all of it just pissed you off.
What’s really too bad is that The Mandalorian wasn’t made a few years earlier. If Luke were on the planet and didn’t want to see anyone or train anyone because he was protecting The Child AND because of his guilt of Kylo, imagine the possibilities of THAT version of the storyline.
