10 WTF Moments That Made You Give Up On A Movie
1. The Rise Of Skywalker - Palpatine Returns… In The Opening Credits
The latest Star Wars film was always going to be a controversial affair. After the extremely divisive second entry two years previously, Star Wars fans were left wondering whether JJ Abrams new film was going to continue the original arc he had outlined in the Force Awakens, or continue the radically new path charted by Rian Johnson.
The end result was a bit of both, and the most critically panned entry in the franchise. There were many complaints among fans, but chief among them had to be the revived Emperor Palpatine being revealed in the intro credits to little fanfare.
The new trilogy has often been criticised by fans for relying too much on the classic films and not exploring any new territory. Combined with the complete lack of buildup to the revelation and we are left wondering if this was an idea held all along, or simply JJ Abrams struggling to give the series a villain following the surprising death of Snoke.
Either way it left many fans criticising the film before they even arrived at the cinema.
