Wow. Not impressed.
It is rumoured, the original cast minus (Egon) are in this more than it looks.
The modern esque trailer, might be misleading.
That said, it still looked more appealing than the infamous Paul Feig one did.

TLJ is an unredeemable abortion of a movie. It’s stupid, incoherent, and self-important.
At least it had character development and wasn't structured like a 90s video game.
There was an effort to at least progress the story even if they were poor choices.
Honestly I think if you take the Luke death at the end out along with the silly reversal of death scenes (which this one doubles down on) and the silly middle section on the casino planet?... it's not great, but it's not that terrible.
This just rehashed as much of Return of The Jedi as they could on this without it being a remake. There's multiple silly plot devices that make no sense and certain sections feel like a super hero film.
It's put together more by a checklist, than a script.
It's borderline Game of Thrones season 8 silly at points.
Also the pacing. It jumps swiftly from one scene to the next to skip over the story. This didn't feel like a Star Wars film at point.

Is this a response to me?
Are you toanns35?

I'm really curious who the op was, because this is a litteral copy and paste of a thread of mine in the management section from a few years ago that's still easy to find.

Just seen it.
Meh. Not really that good. At least with The Last Jedi, I had critisms of certain plot points and sequences. With this I just didn't think there was much there.
Lots of quick scenes with set pieces thrown in. Not really paced like a Star Wars film. As for the plot, they just recyle as much as they can from previous films. It feels like they had no clue where they'd go after Force Awakens.
Just flat. However certain parts of it felt a little Season 8 Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones at least had spectacle, even if lots of it made no sense. This doesn't really have much to look at. I was actually checking my phone clock during the final act, because it was just going through the motions.

Oh well... I mean the Tories will definitely lose the next election, right? 
What's the worst that could happen in 4 1/2 years?

This is as close we'll get to the mythical Ghostbusters 3, most of the original cast are returning despite the trailer:

Does this really mean anything? The clusterfuck has been playing out for years and it doesn't seem to matter much who is in the driver's seat...the song stays the same, meet the new boss, same as the old boss...and all that jazz.
It means Brexit will go through. But what that actually means is another thing. The deal Boris did with the EU is similar to staying in the EU. That’s why Farage hated the deal, it’s not really Brexit.
So I see no changes. But we have lost our LA privileges. We didn’t go down in 3rd. We in the basement. Hopefully Bruce is coming back with a samurai sword. Corbyn was like the gimp.
Errr his deal is out off the customs union and single market.
It is nothing like staying in the eu. According their own numbers the country will be something like 80 billion a year worse off, if where to go through.

It means Brexit will finally happen, the opposition has been defeated and our right wing pm can do anything he wants now. They can no longer be blocked.
It means more misery for most of us.
