@Jaded His portrayal was uncanny and he got his accent spot on. It was crazy at the end when they did the side by side takes along with actual scenes from the movie; my husband and I were howling.

(Spoiler free) For me, Justice League succeeded on the character bits but failed big time on the story itself.
This is probably a good way to look at it, but I will go back to WB's impatience as the real problem here.
Justice League could have been broken into three movies. (See it; you'll understand why.) It probably should have been. There was just so much in it that I thought they could have explored, and I wanted them to. If they had just done what Disney/Marvel did, we could have had a really, really good series.
When can we start speculating and talking about Last Jedi? I mean, yeah sure, I guess all the cool people are like Star Wars, whatever, pfft but I can't waaaaaaaiiiiiiitttttt....

@sockmonkey
I speculate it will make a lot of money and still not be good.
@sockmonkey I bought myself and my buddy a Star Wars Fan package for opening night. Which was great! Except I purchased it before realizing my new job trains the same day, so getting there will be a matter of avoiding speeding tickets.
In other words. I cannot wait either. I think it will be good.
@jaded
As long as it sells merchandise, that is all that matters to these companies anymore. The story/movie itself can suck. This can be seen in the abrupt and massive shift that happened to Saturday Morning cartoons.

The first person to spoil TLJ in a non-spoilery thread earns eternal damnation.
Also, the second person.
@arkandel
There's Jedi in it. At least one Dark Jedi. Some space combat too. Pew pew.

I want to know if Kathleen Kennedy's going to put Taika Waititi in charge of the last episode, or another part of the franchise.

@ganymede Didn't he say that he would turn down any offer to direct in Star Wars? I think Abrams is up for Ep 9.
I don't know or recall.
If he ain't going to do it, then he'd better start making new Flight of the Conchords stuff. We're due.

He's kind of busy, IIRC, with We're Wolves, at the moment.
Just a reminder of the spoiler tag .

I didn't even know this was a thing! David and I are gonna go Saturday. Pls no spoiling.
Here's your Last Jedi Spoiler... kidding.
However. The Last Jedi did not suck. At least for me. I can only explain it as, I have not been so emotionally and physically excited to be watching a Star Wars film since I was a kid, and Empire came out, and I got to see it at our Drive-In Theater, same for Jedi. Just... I'm so glad I bought the package for my buddy and I.
I saw Last Jedi today.
I enjoyed it, but...
***Behind the cut...***
The Last Jedi left me flat.
***=Spoiler***
The Force Awakens felt like a Mary Sue Fanon Extravaganza.
The Last Jedi was a good movie.
I liked the movie well enough, but, the plot holes were kind of garingly huge.
