its weird - Rotten Tomatoes is like 93% critics, but only 56% audience.
seems the disparity hit this thread.
Exactly what happened to the latest Blade Runner. Millennials simply can't take a movie over 1.5 hours. Maybe if they were allowed to view their Snap Chat accounts during the screening......
I'm a 1.75 hour guy Gen Xer
I wasn't a fan of Force Awakens and actually thought Rogue was better. How does this compare to them?
I'm old, so the length didn't bother me. It bothered me more that nothing ever happened. There is some build up, but the outcomes are always very anti-climatic.
Force Awakens was better thant his, and Rogue was a complete throwaway. This one will likely be remembered by how bad it is...

We saw it tonight and neither of us particularly cared for it.
Compared to The Empire Strikes Back I found this movie contrived and heavy-handed. Instead of the Force being some sort of natural and organic and in some way delicate phenomenon now the Force does two-way video and teleportation.
We both found the injected bits of humor dopey and the action sequences very Matrix-like.
And after seeing Adam Driver act convincingly in innumerable hipster-type roles I find him totally unconvincing as the weepy and angst-ridden heir to Darth Vader.
I liked Rogue One better too. I personally liked this better.
I used to be disappointed in the new movies until I watched the original 3 again. It was only then that I better appreciated the new movies. I like that this now sets up a new and concrete duality and that this is now the central theme. It's not a struggle for one to win over the other but rather whether there will be balance between the two. While this has always been the central conflict of the Star Wars universe, here it is really brought to the fore. I also like that they appeared to be taking notes from GOT, offing characters we expected to be around for at least another film. Finally, technically it is a visual masterpiece. The motion physics is the best I've ever seen to date. The rendering was just superb. Heck, go all the way to costume. It is obvious that no expense was spared on the details. Luke's robotic hand even had the score marks from Vader's saber. Best of all, the future is now wide open.
