This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, one of the worst movies in Star Wars. JJ threw away everything Rian Johnson established. JJ wanted to please all the fans who complained and can't stand the change in character, read some Reddit theories and the movie came out horrible as we saw it in the movies. Sadly, I wanted a decent ending for Kylo Ren and Rey herself. But unfortunately, JJ wanted to please all the crying fans.… Expand

This film was released 'as' the final installment of the saga, but it is truly not part of the story at all.

You will noticeThis film was released 'as' the final installment of the saga, but it is truly not part of the story at all. It is the 3rd in a series of snuff flicks designed to kill off characters that Disney had to pay royalties to use. You will notice that by the end, there are no traces of them left, and now the franchise can move forward and be 100% profitable.
What this means for fans is at the very least a feeling of betrayal, and being literally robbed of an honest continuation of a story that we have all invested in, and which has become a cultural treasure. I cannot even rate this film with a score of 1 or more because it is absolutely NOT an honest continuation of the original trilogy or prequels. It is corporate vandalism, and deserves a 0. If you read this, please save your money and don't promote this kind of behavior.… Expand

I've specially created an account to vote and write a review. This is the WORST Star Wars movie I've ever seen. Compared to this one, Phantom Menace is a masterpiece. I'm very disappointed how the saga ended.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Does not follow the first two movies of this trilogy. It even retcons established canon from both movies. Reduces established roles of Finn, Poe, and Rose to stereotypical garbage. Sadly, they kill the actual last Skywalker and give Rey his name. There is no emotion on Rey’s face, no mourning when Ben passes. They could have done something good with this movie. Instead they listened to the boys on Reddit and gave us this farce.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie, as well as the rest of the sequel trilogy, have made the original trilogy and the prequels trilogy redundant. Anakin and Luke aren't the chosen ones anymore. Rey is. Palpatine wasn't killed by a redeemed Anakin Skywalker. Rey did it.

It seems like Disney wants to remove the legacy of the original Star Wars film which they have done successfully.… Expand

First, it sought to undo what it perceived as shortcomings in the previous movie (which, by the way, was a critical and box-office success), a situation that created a distracting and confounding sense of a movie trilogy at war with itself. Second, notwithstanding its misguided attempt to "correct" the prior installment, it is simply a bad movie, with huge plot holes (the emperor is alive? how?); unexplained superpowers; rushed, paper-thin story-telling, with very little intrigue and complexity; and stilted, by-the-numbers acting, that border on cringe in some instances. As someone who has watched all the Star Wars movies, I would rank this as the worse installment in the canon.… Expand

Every event and character moment rings hollow and the overall plot is completely nonsensical. The film moves so fast that it comes off as a deliberate tactic to keep you from dwelling on how none of these events make sense, either in set up or execution. There are little to no character arcs to speak of; no one undergoes a change that requires more than a short conversation so ultimately the payoffs by the end are nil. The action scenes are meaningless, boring or both. This movie actively works against its predecessor to undermine any messages or consequences it had set up, leaving this movie, and unfortunately the overall trilogy, with absolutely no meaning or message.

Watching Carrie Fisher's repurposed footage, with the knowledge that she has passed on, is quite uncomfortable and the integration of her footage was executed poorly. The fanservice in this movie is abundant and cringeworthy. No example feels earned or sensical, rather each instance feels like a hollow concession.

If you watch a Star Wars movie to engross yourself in vivid alien worlds and cultures, or to undergo a fun, interesting and satisfying journey, then this movie is not for you. If you are an avid fan of the overarching narrative of the Star Wars series I would actively urge you to ignore this installment.

The first few minutes alone destroyed any lingering investment I had in this universe, and left me bemusedly laughing or groaning at this ridiculous mess for the rest of the affair. I left the cinema feeling empty and detached.

I legitimately cannot praise any aspect of this movie, but I would be remiss in failing to acknowledge the actors' performances. At no point did the acting feel weak to me, but at no point did it feel remarkable either. They did the best with what they had.

Final verdict; do not waste your money on this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The pacing was rushed. The dialogue was clunky and largely unmemorable when Star Wars is usually very quotable. The line "Your parents sold you to protect you" made me cringe. The characters were flat except for Ben Solo. Rey was regressed and felt weak. She seemed to lack any agency, but that was the case with most of the characters. The plot just happened to them. The only good part was the Ben Solo and the kiss. But Ben Solo has no lines, and his only purpose in the climax was to help Palpatine revive himself using the force bond then get knocked into a ravine. The kiss and his smile were beautiful for 10 seconds, but then he dies and just disappears. The writers could have found a way for him to live but they stuck to the tired and depressing trope that redemption is found only in death. Rey is not shown to mourn him, he is never mentioned again, and is not shown as a force ghost alongside his mother and uncle at the end. There is no closure for his character. Rey ends up alone, her soulmate is dead. It feels like the message is that women need to be alone if they want to be heroes. Also, if you ever did anything truly wrong, even if you redeem yourself, you should die to that a better person should live. Just become an organ donor and kill yourself. That is the moral this Disney movie left me with.

Never has a film destroyed me emotionally in ways no other film ever did. They undermined the happy ending of the original trilogy to make way for the sequel trilogy, and then ended it in tragedy. I don't think I will ever be able to watch or re-watch a Star Wars movie or show again. I will no longer be going to the Galaxy Edge park. I don't need to burst into tears in public when I see Kylo Ren walking around. I need Ben Solo back.… Expand

I did not like it despite the great costumes, photography, CGI, special effects. The way the lack of a story is executed is more mediocre than poor. Some B-movies have more heart than this. Many liked it, more power to them.

This is all done in favor of a BORING blatant Mary Sue character (Rey) and her shoddily written pals. It’s entirely awful, and the ending is insulting to fans and worse than bad fanfic. Avoid it.

This should had been the movie that would engrave the sequel trilogy as well-made one, the one that respected all that came before and stood on its own, but it doesn't do any of that. Instead, it became THE WORST Star Wars movie that spits on its predecesors for story convenience, which is for the most part an unsensical fan catering, zero intelligence garbage with no sense of pacing, rhythm or even emotion really. Half-way through, after a certain reveal it brings this anxious dread evoking the worst possible story progression one could ever think of and it happens to be stronger and stronger while the movie rushes to the finish line. Leaving you with no emotion, only apathy.

When internet fandom split into two separate camps (one more vocal than the other), after TLJ premier, something miraculous had happened. Disney or JJ with Terrio somehow thought it would be a marvelous idea to retcon any story progression from the previous movie, ignore fans who defended TLJ for two long years and try to appease fans who hated it. Ultimately, no one likes this movie, because it is far from being one. Desperate and safe attempt for damage control effectively erasing this sequel trilogy from canon.… Expand

It is actually astounding that any human could read the script for this movie and allow it to be made. In addition to the nonsensical plot the movie is incredibly badly paced. Characters and locations skip by with no sense or reason. One minute you're on a desert planet, then an ice world, then a jungle and it's really impossible to tell why. The characters chase pointless macguffins in order to complete quests and perform actions which make no logical sense at all. The action scenes are also tirelessly dull. The direction is bland and boring, the choreography is non existent. The space battles are a mess of explosion effects with no cohesion. There's not even a decent lightsaber fight. It's just so dull. So dull and messy and boring. Every line of dialogue is either retconning events from a previous movie or absolute direct-to-the-audience exposition. All facts are delivered at least 3 times, just in case you missed it. But it doesn't matter if you did because it's all ultimately pointless. All of the characters are awful. Directionless one-liner spouting pointless plot devices. There are no arcs, there is no development. There is barely even a struggle. Rey is an omnipotent plot device, whose force abilities come and go on a whim depending on the needs of the script. This is not only easily the worst star wars movie to date, but probably one of the most poorly constructed and badly written movies to ever hit the cinema. I'm not joking. I wanted to walk out. Anyone who posts an even half way decent review of this movie is either a shill for Disney or an utter moron. It makes the Phantom Menace look like a masterpiece.… Expand

Want explosions and cool fights? This movie isn't terrible for that, but there are better ones. You would have a better time watching Starkiller base blow up, or a ship ram through a dozen First Order's than watching this. It doesn't have emotional scenes that make you believe them. No part like when Luke or Han died where you feel something. It's just dragging yourself through it, waiting for something to look cool and when you thinkk it is it lets you down.

If you came for the writing or the story? Wrong place, too. It's nonsense most of the time, like they were rushing it. Corners cut, a budget with hundreds of millions and yet they couldn't scratch up two writers to make this worth it. I can watch an old movie without the booms or the bangs if it has good writing, but the quality of this movie both visually and story wise is a massive let down. Hard pass.

TL;DR? Save your money and catch it on Disney+, no one's gonna be talking about this one.… Expand

The movie is incredible self-serving. They create an unrealistic and unfounded issues only to solve it with the most unconventional and irrational way. The plot makes no sense and the movie constantly defies the rules of the “Star Wars” universe.

They tried, but the hole created by the dumpster fire of episode 8 couldn't be climbed out of. Lots of nonsense tossed in to try to make the movie work. It's garbage. It's better than episode 8, but that's a low bar.

This is a movie with total disdain for the audience. The mystery box was empty all along. There is no story, only meandering plot filler, almost as if the writers were procrastinating having to come up with interesting story ideas so they kept delaying the true story elements by extending the convoluted plot until the very last nonsensical confrontation. Imagine the plot of Empire eating up the entire film to get Luke to Dagobah through a series of item quests instead of having Obi-wan merely show up and say "You will go to the Dagobah system." They use the Force in this movie in every contrived, fantastical way possible (it's more magical than mystical now) and yet they never use it as a device to simplify the plot. This movie is unfathomably stupid.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a thoroughly unentertaining, borderline unwatchable movie built to service original trilogy and prequel fans through constant nods to Star Wars history and blatant reversals from the previous movie. All three films in the sequel trilogy have indicated no overarching plan. At their best, they challenged long-held beliefs and attempted to move the saga out of its comfort zone. At their worst - which Rise of Skywalker represents - they capitulate to the lowest common denominator and hope a plotless, lightsaber-fueled, "take down the hundreds of Death Star-level Star Destroyers" is appeasement enough for the audience.… Expand

Дело в том, что всё закончилось как в сказке для маленьких детей. Казалось бы, что в конце фильма никаких надежд на победу главных героев нету. Но нет, произошла какая-то магическая херня, которая принесла им победу. Концлвка фильма искусственная и игрушечная, как будто в последний момент ребёнок решил изменить сценарий своей игры. Если бы всё закончилось плохо, это было бы драматично и эпично. Это бы запомнилось. А так, фильм ни о чём - позерша на главной героине, непрописанные персонажи и Кайло Рен, который, казалось бы, тащил всю трилогию, превратился в полное говно.

This movie would probably be the worst one if the effects weren't so goddam good. The dialogue feels like they're only talking to move the plot forward.

Pros
- return of ben solo
- the gang is finally all together
- the inclusion of the knights of ren
- sith troopers look cool
- death star ii wreckage scene was interesting and kylo's han solo vision was a nice surprise
- rey and kylo's duel on kijimi was a good use of their force connection
- flashback of Luke and Leia training was cool

Cons
-return of the emperor ruins the satisfying ending of episode 6
- the idea of all the good guys vs all the bad guys is handled poorly
- giving every star destroyer a death star is stupid and doesn't feel like a natural evolution in this universe
- Leia's death feels unearned (not their fault though)
- maz kanata is under used
- lando's inclusion feels like a favor rather than something to drive the plot forward
- chewies fake death was dumb and it was clear that he was on the other troop carrier
- ben solo's death felt unearned and unrequired
- who were the people watching the emperor and rey fight??

This movie felt like a **** prequel movie. Is this what you wanted, last jedi haters?? Are you happy with this **** show??? How does jj abram's cum taste???… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes this contains spoilers … but it isn’t spoiling anything because this film has spoilt everything itself already. this film is so ludicrous at points … it just feels dumb.

feminist fantasy … star wars - its Just weird and creepy the way Ray could not have more ultimately scraped out lukes male character from the inside and inhabited his skin like some feminist psycho stalker, literally wanting to subsume everything that was him, she in the end gets his ship, his light sabre, his name, his blessing and twenty times his powers etc and so many plot elements feel like repeats from the first three, but dialled up to 12, space battles going on whilst confronting the emperor again, this film awkwardly inhabits the shadow of the first three films with outright cloned scenes and Rays passing shot at the end of the film is to literally declare herself a Skywalker, when shes a Palpatine (a good plot twist), because I guess she married dead romeo ben - with a kiss as he sacrificed himself (a rare true male archetype moment)? and the film basically tries to slightly cover for of course … Ray & Finn being a mixed race couple romance like 5 minutes later on from Bens death, with zero mourning period? with some weird three way hug on Finns shoulder with Spanish irrelevant pilot man, who all have some white people teary absolution on Finns shoulder? but ouef The ludicrous-ness of the capstone of this 12 part saga action wise, is ridiculous, at one point there is a tribal afro women leading a charge of hairy space zonkeys on an imperial cruiser … I wish I was joking? at one point it felt the avengers cast might turn up at any moment, that imperial cruiser was just one of a CGI clone horizon to horizon wide, grid array of planet destroying imperial cruisers? too many overcooked? as per usual there some awkward race stereotyping with some desert muslim aliens doing the hobby dooby dance and Ray having some throwaway virtue signalling moment with a hijabi alien whose templating for a muslim girl. and of course all the english accented white male people are either evil or dead … pffff. Feels like the lead characters had 30 death defying impractically impossible escapes in a row - overcooked, and Finn apparently is force sensitive to, so as to enable some plot points like … that star destroyer out of hundreds is the one to attack etc. Rays force powers were just ridiculous, in training luke can barely raise a stone, Whilst Ray of course is doing self levitation yoga whilst controlling several asteroid belts of rocks in motion around herself … yawn, and the film just plain steals Romeo and Juliet at the end. The real resolution would be to pull the wizard magic from the universe by both blood lines sacrificing themselves? but Ray survives. Nearly every leader or hero in this film is of course a mary sue female kick ass character pretending to be a man, there are no genuinely actually feminine characters in this film at any point? oh and the films ego is so huge it can’t even resist revision-ing the other films and characters whilst its at it, cut to a quick flashback, Leah was a kick ass Jedi that who also beat Luke in training yada yada yada and nearly all the men involved are just idiot chumps helping out the women or following instructions … yes sir … general feminism, it does not portray the sacrificial history of the male gender in historical war at all, apart from Antifa Bens sacrifice, no no … women always did 50% or more of the war dying according to star wars. Further the whole thing at the end is the usual rose tinted watchtower magazine portrait of multiculturalism in space, soap opera with lib left earnest people charging around murdering thousands and then after, having a kumbya globalist hugging picnic, the level of psychopathic violence implied but not recognised in the films resolution is absurd. there are a few bright bits but overall its way too dialled up to 12, feels like Jerry Bruckheimer does star wars. the film kind of wears everything that is stars wars … out, which is good because I can see no reason for the franchise to return ever, after this it has nowhere to go - its dead dead and done like a very very tired donkey thats been much abused in some tacky resort. The film feels like some kind of over-drama, everything that was a one off novel thing in the original films, is repeated here ad infinitum and turned up to 12? yanking light speed back and forth to evade pursuers happens seemingly in minutes, everyones an expert on hot-wiring every ship in the universe, and ray can force battle hold and explode a star cruiser from the ground? disney and star wars are most definitely american ego sized in nature, there should have been more nuance, they pull all the possible plot levers and character reprisals you can throughout the film to elicit audience response. pfff … ouef … leaves me feeling empty, like some over inflated cake that deflates to nothing. Im so jaded …… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I could rant for hours about all of this movie's failures, but I'll sum it up pretty quick: The only thing TROS accomplishes is ruining everything the previous two movies set up, continues the Trilogy's trend of wasting its golden cast on characters that continue to do nothing, continues the trend of having no world building in any way whatsoever, and gives Kylo, the only character who ever had any sort of depth, a horrible sendoff in the finale (it also does this to Palpatine too, which is a huge insult to an amazing actor).

HOWEVER, there are two scenes that did work (which were far and few inbetween). The first, the finale where Ben finally gets to be a bad*ss with his blue lightsaber, after spending the entire movie as Palpatine's lackey for unexplained reasons. The second, the scene where Kylo (now Ben) gets to speak to a hallucination of his father in Han Solo, which I found extremely poignant.

But those moments don't make up for a wasteful movie that fails to explain its most important plot points and is absolutely terrified of allowing any stakes to exist. Unless you're the most forgiving fan in the world, stay as far away from this mess as you can.… Expand
