Here is another example of a big divide between fans and critics. But ti does show that there's an audience at home for this and they are going for a sequel. I actually like this film except that extra long ending aka Suicide Squard, Kill the villian already! It's Alien Nation meets for LOTR for sure.
Will Smith as back. 4 outta 5.

Mini-reviews:
The Greatest Showman: 4 outta 5. The film needs love at the boxoffice. Jackman works hard as do the cast and the songs were great. I'm in the movie, watcha think I say? lol.
Jumanji: 1: Cast was good but completely wasted. Video games as movies still suck.
Downsize: 1:  Only for the speech at the end which was the only funny thing. Saw the trailer? You saw the movie. A complete ripoff. See Honey I Shrunk the Kids instead.

Like I said before the contraversy didn't hurt but helped this picture? Well the jury is still out.
This is one for the books, never saw this happened with a franchise like this. But for the record I hope it beats Beauty and the Beast for the No. 1 spot for 2017, U.S. that is as it stands as No. 2 for now.

AW C'mon make up your mind! Talk about not getting the memo:
"You know you can come back as a Ghost Jedi" "I can?" "If you change your tune" "oohhh"

Is anyone buying this shit? A whole article making excuses on why things turn out the way they did.
But there is one paragraph stating JJ is going to save the day by having the Rebels winning, First Order destroyed and everyone goes home happy. As far as their concern they failed this trilogy. Time for a reboot and leave the friggin Skywalker family out of it. The most dysfunctional family in outer space.

Nobody saw this coming. The highest money maker than all the other Pixar combined. So DUH?!
Even the stupid article states no one knows what China and a Mexican story have in common. Well?
Ghosts and Spirits. Simple as that. China is huge on that which is why Coco is so well embraced. Now Disney is looking at this and wondering why China doesn't give the same love to Star Wars. Which by the way will do OK...zzzzzzzzzz as in no love for TFA. Now thats funny.

Me? Better movies that are not reboots, remakes, sequels, prequels, retreads, franchises and especially making movies our of video games..looking at you Jumanji, you piece of crap.
Hello Netflix.......

Welll it didn't work for Last Jedi with critics saying it's one of the best then having the hardcore fans trashing it beyond belief. Look at how many times this site has been sold and look whoowns it now, Comcast out of all corporations. What you think now? Besides it's always been about the fans and now paid critics anyways.

What a great intro to the new Doctor and  hopefully she'll put some much needed energy to the show. No offense to Peter Capladi who was great as the Doctor but even he looked tired from the lame scripts that the show was given.

Rehearsal with one the Academy Award composers of the soundtrack. They won for La La Land.

The sequence that made the final cut into the movie. While chalk outlines me on the upper left.
