It has been posted before, but it seems it needs to be posted again:
From that article:
“Because there’s a company called comScore that provides exit poll surveys that, while it is an opt in survey, is one that adjusts to reflect the movie going population. […] comScore surveys almost a thousand audience members in 20 markets immediately after they view the film, including The Last Jedi. […] this data shows the audience liked The Last Jedi a great deal. Rating a movie as either “excellent” or “very good” tends to be the key metric in most Hollywood evaluation of content, both in testing and in exit polls. Anything over a score of 80 in the “top two boxes” is concerned a great score, and The Last Jedi has a top two box score of 89.”
To be completely honest with you, if someone had polled me on the way out of the theatre I would have scored it favourably as well. There was too much to process to really score it accurately.
It’s only as it’s had time to sit with me that I’ve grown to dislike it.
Unlike the prequels, a fan-edit isn’t going to save this one for me, because my fundamental issue is with the treatment of Luke. I wish that I could get on board like some of you, but I can’t in the same way I couldn’t get on board with a neck-snapping Superman, which is why I stopped going to DCEU movies. DC fans bent over backwards justifying Superman’s actions in “Man of Steel” but while there is a place for gritty and broken heroes in cinema (John Wick, John McClane, etc.), doing it to existing heroes is a step too far for me.
