The drums are getting louder... #jumanji
As a non star wars nerd fanboy obsessive an all that stuff I have to say that the biggest issue I had with the movie was that it was, well, just a bit boring. Too long with a plot that bounced about everywhere without finding a groove. The rouge one movie last year was a properly entertaining movie but last jedi, well, I was kinda dozing off.
Agreed.

It was close!Originally Posted by Variety.com
Finally saw it a few days after Xmas. I'm glad I avoided most of this thread and other reactions, thoughts, etc... Although I know there were some pretty strong negative feelings towards it, I enjoyed it.
The only bad parts for me were mostly in the beginning.Spoiler:
I thought about that as I posted it... But, nah.
All your bomb related concerns are addressed within:

As I complained about Destiny 1, I can't stand stories that require outside explanation. If you need other source material (after the fact) to explain what happened in a scene, it was poorly executed. That doesn't address all of my concerns either.
Spoiler:
But, thanks for the link.
The explanation for all of the above is: Nobody put any real thought into it beyond what will look cool/be easy to shoot. That's why its space opera rather than hard sci-fi. For all intents and purposes, technology=magic; so its not going to be addressed unless there's a specific reason to do so. Do you also find the idea that all of the ships seem to have artificial gravity so people aren't floating inside to require an explanation as well?
Edited to add: The last sentence reads as way more bitchy than I actually feel. I'm not trying to act like you're an idiot, it just came out that way.

Totally: the idea of a fleet of 1940s-style bombers is much more tense and spectacular than simply launching fast guided ordinance such as proton torpedos from the Mon Cal cruiser at that exact weak point.
