This has been a fucking fascinating few days of reactions. I've had lots of people be like "but the film fails on the very things you usually criticize!" and I'm like "what." Every time it's like I have to break out a pad and pen and explain the basics of setups/payoffs/arcs

The choices it makes are proving divisive. I think those choices are good and necessary. But about half the people I know who’ve seen it really disliked it.

Well it has an A Cinemascore and exit polls are super strong, social media (and yes, reddit) I think is giving this impression that there's this major divide (and the RT audience rating is like an IMDB rating). But yes, there are still many folks who are angered, it'll pass ^^

It seems to be divisive with a particular strata of fans that is very prominent on social media. Reminds me of The Dark Knight Rises in that sense.

Also makes me wonder how Indiana Jones would be received today. A film where Indy accomplishes almost nothing, Marion gets a lot of the cool moments and none of the Bad Guys are directly killed (and a lot of Nazi's die). Would it be hated by these audiences?

yeah. this is where I come into agreement with you. I think a lot people (including me) wanted it to be indulgent. it isn't. it's very explicit and direct. naked storytelling. that doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it's different from what people wanted it to be.

And people will catch up. Just like with those not on board with empire at first.

It's world-weary defenses of critique and variable reception, like this, which convinces me to attended blockbusters in the first place... let The Shire drink its wine, Hulk. Not everybody requires a horizon bigger than their front yard.

Not only that but it's challenging. I like that it's challenging. The story is challenging. The new characters are challenging.
