Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
ciufumic Yep, the only reason I watch this booooring revival, because I wanted to see Jess one last time and what he's become. Let me tel you, he did not disappoint, love his character, the only character whose evolution worth following!
Jerika I was so excited for this to come out! I started the first episode knowing it would be different so I kept an open mind. It was so incredibly boring I actually fast forwarded through spots in all four episodes. It took me about a month to dread through this thinking it would get better and have an amazing ending. Unfortunately the ending for lack of a better word sucked. It felt like everything Rory and Lorelai went through in the regular series just unraveled and became irrelevant. Why would you make Rory be so smart through the whole thing and on such a great track for success to not be successful at all I just don't understand. Also Luke and Lorelai aren't married yet. Really!? That's so ridiculous Rory going with Logan when he is with another women, how original. That's exactly what happened with Dean in a previous season, so I guess nothing changes, nothing is learned. Then the very last scene when Rory says she pregnant so infuriating. That's not who she is, it's like they completely changed the characters and went in such a bad direction. All in all very disappointing. Wish I had never watched it. It was supposed to tie up all loose ends not leave you on yet another cliff hanger.
kelleyburcroff I am a huge Gilmore Girls fan. I wanted to like this so badly! A lot of scenes seemed so forced. From the lines, to hair and makeup, it just felt like they were trying so hard and it lacked the effortless charm that Gilmore Girls had. Rory's whole storyline didn't work for me. Her Year in the Life character and Gilmore Girls character were not the same person. THE MUSICAL.... what were they thinking?! Such a waste of time :( The farewell to Richard was beautiful though. It was heart breaking but necessary.The amount of characters they had make an appearance was great though! Hardly anyone was left out.
prismbreak-beta "I had to tell all our friends that my only daughter - the BRIGHTEST in her class - was pregnant, and leaving school."Richard told Lorelei the depth of his heartbreak with those words in Season 1. The pain that he endured, knowing that the future that he had envisioned for his daughter would never come."I had to tell all my friends, that my only daughter - the BRIGHTEST in her class - has turned into a bitter, washed-up hoe."With these words, the heartbreak of Rory's destiny lost becomes real.Rory was always more mature than Lorelei. She made lists, she overprepared, she worried about other people before herself. She had morals, and self-respect.That's why she was such a beloved character.In this revival, Rory has become as immature as her mother. Her career is going nowhere. She is a gypsy, living out of suitcases from one country to the next. Her decision to turn down marriage because it would "limit her choices" is painfully ironic. She has casual sex with a total stranger. She cheats on her boyfriend with an engaged man. She fails to prepare for an interview for a job she considers beneath her, and then blames everyone but herself for the consequences of her actions.It's as if Rory - once upon a time compassionate, intelligent, and ambitious - was transformed into the worst caricature of feminism.Perhaps Hollywood thinks that entitlement and infidelity are trendy.And to make Rory pregnant at the end is like putting gasoline on a rotten fire. Is this supposed to be a commentary on how single mothers create more single mothers?Jess was always Rory's best match. He wasn't afraid to disagree with her, to challenge her, to make her explore the boundaries of her black-and-white thinking. He was her intellectual equal, and though he could never be the knight-in-shining-armor that Dean was, he still cared in his own aloof, bad boy way. His brief but welcome appearance in this revival only cements the fact that Logan is Rory's kryptonite.Why did the actors agree to return for this dreck?For the money, I suppose.
