Hollywood is full a fucked up people. It really tells you that money does not buy happiness. They have everything you could possibly want and they are pervs, pedos, rapists, etc. It's like being in the matrix. What is exactly real to these people? It's probably similar to those that strive to be a politician. You have to literally be a psychopath in order to do what has to be done to get to those high places. That's why the country continues to fall into the rabbit hole. What sane person would want that job? Crazy shit. As the Byrds said: What you pay for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game You're a little insane The money that came and the public acclaim Don't forget what you are You're a rock'n'roll star

I should amend my comment to say that money can't buy happiness, but it can buy gonorrhea. Try to save a buck, and you get the clap. Life lesson learned.

Powerful positions will grab the attention of those who love to be able to use said power.
Think I remember reading something that quoted quite a high percentage of CEOs are likely to be sociopaths.

Yup. So much pixar and high fives. A lot of the same action that made the 1st three epic thrown together into a 3 hour bowl of c.g.i.
Also felt really forced rebels being chased, like you can't have another ship get ahead of them over 8 hours ? I'm all for just turn an blind eye to have a movie be fun (ie guardians) but so much was like w.t.f. in this one.

I liked the movie quite a bit. I think they got the stuff with Luke/Kylo/Rey done perfectly. The other stuff was ok, I don't see anything wrong in the 'chase.' My only complaint is that the side mission is effectively worthless.
And then the most upsetting thing was (here come gigantic spoilers, stay away if you haven't seen it yet): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Finn is going to sacrifice his life to save the rebellion. Rose, somehow a wannabe psychic makes the assumption that he's doing it because he hates the Empire. Which... He does, but he was also doing it to protect the people he loves. So Rose goes on her own suicide run to crash her ship into Finn's. Because they should be fighting for things they love, not against things they hate? I don't know. It was some bullshit. Essentially, it was ok to nearly kill herself to save one person, but it was not ok for Finn to kill himself to save the entire rebellion. Oh, and by the way, her attempt at trying to save Finn, probably, statistically speaking should have also killed him. Wonder what C-3PO would have given those odds. None of it made any logical sense. And here's the kicker to it all...the very next scene, Luke sacrifices his life because the rebellion was fucked. Luke would still be alive if Rose wasn't a total fuck-up. . . . . . . . . . . . .
All-in-all, that's just a minor gripe. Like I said, I thought they did everything related to the Force very well. I can move past most of the other things. I think it's easy enough to write-up your own excuses for most of the other inconsistencies. Why didn't a ship flank them from the other side? They might not have had enough resources. That was a pretty big fleet they already had on hand (afterall, it was the one that would have been protecting Snoke), and maybe they felt this was the safest approach without risking any more lives. They knew they'd be able to pick them off easily enough, so no real need to disrupt everything else.

I saw Star Wars this Sunday. I didn't particularly like it. Saw it last week $6.00 11:30am show. To me there all pretty much the same and are basically a cartoon. It was ok . I get it that a lot of people are into it but I've seen them all in the theatres so don't want to break the chain.

Spoilers... . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Leia space walk thing was so ridiculous it almost ruined the rest of the movie for me.
Also why the hell wasnt she the one to hyperjump into the first order fleet? Would have been the perfect exit for her.
In spite of those things I liked it. I'm not a super Star Wars nerd so it being mostly entertaining is enough for me.

I feel I'm the only one not bugged by the Leia thing. I think they could have made it look a little better. But that's my only complaint there.

Black Panther was meh. The suit is cool, but everyone's suit is cool nowadays. It's basically two hours of white shaming.

White shaming? The main bad guy wanted to kill all the whiteys. That's some weird ass white shaming.

The main antagonist was preaching white oppression every other word. Like you said, his goal was to kill every white person in the world! And he was praised in every review I read prior to seeing the film. They all wrote how the villain was justified and they empathized with his struggles! They empathized with killing every white person on earth? WTF??!!??
I was expecting this great comic book movie from all the hype. I thought the all black cast and crew was cool, and was thinking, "Good for them, Man!" I try to support all the Marvel films because i've been waiting my whole life for these things to come out. I was all in because Panther was awesome in Civil War. Then my 8 year old son and I have to listen to this crybaby blame all of his problems on white people when it was own black family that fucked him over??? I guess that's the black community in a nut shell.
Maybe shame is the wrong word, but the theme is basically white people are bad and we want them dead. The fact they compared his character to Ledger's Joker is laughable... probably hoping he wins an Oscar too.
It wasn't a good movie.
All that tech and their riding rhinos into battle? That was Indiana Jones monkey scene cringe worthy.

I don't know who "they" are and I don't really read reviews, but it seemed to me that Killmonger blamed the royal family plenty (talking about being abandoned, saying he was going to kill everyone & tossing Tchalla over the cliff, hell Tchalla gives his father the business in that afterlife place). Obviously he did say he wanted to kill all the white governments, which is why he was the villain and not the good guy & gets killed in the end (spoiler alert needed that a cartoon bad guy gets killed at the end of the movie? I hope not).
I agree that the movie was kinda "meh" though. I think they tried to do too much & it suffered. Of the "Phase 3" movies, I enjoyed Spiderman, Civil War, & Thor much better, with Black Panther being on the same level of OK-ness as Guardians 2 & Dr Strange (although the "I've come to bargain" scene in Strange was awesome, even if it didn't make a whole lot of sense). I also am not expecting much from the Infinity Stone twofer since they'll have about 300 characters stuffed into two movies.
