The animal cruelty message just felt kind of forced in for me. I feel like despite there being some cool stuff on Canto Bight, I feel that cutting it down significantly would benefit the pace of the movie as a whole experience. Each man to their own. Glad to hear about some more people who enjoyed the film.
It wasn’t really an animal cruelty message, that was just used more as a specific example of the pervasive inhumanity of the casino/galaxy at large.
Hmm. I see where your coming from. Maybe it just stuck out to me more. I’m heading to bed but will be back in full force tomorrow to discuss with the people who weren’t very happy with the film.
P.S. Yoda looked great up close. Far away was a bit hokey but the scene was written, scored, and shot almost perfectly.
