The run time was already long, you wanted a full exposition on each character?

The only thing I agree with you on was the female lead not being as great acting wise but I think it's more noticeable because of the caliber of the actors she was surrounded by.

Full? No. I certainly wanted a bit more than two or three seconds to establish who this was. It's okay for a film to have a sh*t load of characters but it sways into bad territory for me when you attach a (supposed) very emotional point in the film to a character whom they ave about four minutes of screen time to.

i will admit for as much as i loved it....which honestly has more to do with just loving to see a Star Wars film in the theater again....it is flawed

i'm positive i'll see it at least one more time

no go see La La Land!

I wore my original trilogy VHS box set out as a kid. I hated the prequels and thought The Force Awakens was fun. This just didn't click with me. Maybe another viewing will help as I was starting to ease off the hate pedal as I thought about it more but I still can't convince myself to like it based on the fact that it's Star Wars. I wanted to like it so bad but I just couldn't get over the obvious directing and writing flaws.

...

I'm seeing Manchester By the Sea first cause my friend would rather see that. He lost a family member recently so I'm letting him decide. La La Land is the next film I see with my married couple friends.

i really should go see Manchester by the Sea today....but i've done nothing but listen to the La La Land soundtrack and just have to see it again

the next big film for me is Hidden Figures

Yeah, that is a flaw and I get that but I don't think they really needed to spend time establishing characters. It spoke to the urgency of what was going on. There really wasn't any time to dig deep into that. They spent a huge amount of time setting up the main lead and that's all that's really needed because of her connection the overall scheme of things.

Manchester By The Sea

Finally got around to seeing this, Casey Affleck seriously runs circles around his brother. If you have not seen trailers or commercials for this film, I recommend avoiding them and just going ahead and seeing it. It flashes back to moments of happiness, then flash forward presently and it turns into the most depressing movie I've seen of last year. Acting is phenomenal, I really loved this movie. Affleck gets my vote for best actor.

I'll check it out. He's been one of my absolute favourites ever since The Assassination of Jesse James.
