Why is that that so many critics always hate on stuff that the fans love, and love what the fans don’t? I totally respect opinion, but it gets to be ridiculous. Such is the case with Star Wars at the moment (again). Look at he stark contrast in reviews from critics vs. fans from both The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker so far in the pics below:

Of course, it is very early. But if this is any indication, it looks like the scores are going to be very different once again.

My conclusion? Ignore the critics. Especially if you’re a fan of the series, or even just movies in general.
