I disliked Rian Johnson since I finished watching The Last Jedi. I won't go too far into why that was (some of his ideas could have worked better if he committed to them instead of yoinking them back by the end credits), but suffice it to say that because of the 7-8-9 back and forth whiplash and the "Your Snoke Theory Sucks" Twitter snark toward the audience (yes a lot of Star Wars fans are terrible, but come on), I only saw Glass Onion because my wife really, really insisted I gave it a try.

I concede that Rian Johnson writes excellent contemporary mysteries and I enjoyed the entire run of the movie and look forward to also seeing Knives Out now. I was truly pleasantly surprised. It doesn't hurt that Daniel Craig gave a weird but impressive delivery and really sold the character he played.

    I dislike the last jedi but it's definitely better than the other two. Its a garbage trilogy

      I feel like Rise of Skywalker was so bad it reached back in time and made the other two films worse. People were generally positive on TFA when it came out, and while TLJ split the fanbase pretty hard a good third movie could have built on its ideas and made the whole trilogy work.

        Yeah. Hands down JJ abrahms was the worst thing, and giving him the last one just meant there was an attempt to backpeddle in the last film, which made the trilogy incoherent and pointless.

          I've heard for a long time that when Abrams was wrecking Trek, he told the media that he actually wanted to do Star Wars.

          And he did Star Wars the same way. :disgost:
