Looks like all the snowflake SJW's (main supporters of this crapfest) have retreated to their little safe havens to console eachother lol

Yup. Reality check-time for the libtards. This also proves the 53% AUDIENCE approval on Rotton Tomatoes was accurate and the Cinemascore "A" grade was complete BS

Suck it Rian Johnson!

This is worst Star Wars film ever, TFA may have been a cheap knockoff film, but TLJ destroyed the Star Wars legacy to push forward the Disney Agenda

Because it actually doesn’t have that great word of mouth. Everyone I know had a very mixed reaction and either loved it or hated it.

What do you mean?

Disney was planting conspiracy in press that audiences were loving the film and not divided

as proof with the low audience score on Rotten Tomatoes

On a six letter scale, it got a cinemascore of A. They interview people exiting the theater, not Interweb Trolls!

Last Knight or the 2007 one?

It didn't. Opening Friday was about $60M, and the drop next Friday was 60%.

Hint: it didn't open Friday.

Umm... It's a huge story right now that Last Jedi does NOT have great word of mouth.

That's what the low audience score and fan backlash is all about.

Did this need to be a thread? It sounds like a response to a specific post.
