typical Michael Bay movie: a lot of good graphic and action diarrea. no any link to previous episode, a lot of holes in weak plot and so on. in general, middle fanfic or GOT, season 8.

It’s a technical marvel but with no heart and very rushed. The story payoffs feel unearned and many things set up in the previous movies are never addressed in this one, so it feels very disjointed and messy. Rey becomes way to overpowered so there’s no sense of danger during the movie, so it becomes very boring. Adam Driver is the best thing of the whole sequel trilogy. It’s sad that this is the last chapter in te Skywalker Saga, very underwhelming. 3/10… Expand

The plot is ridiculous and filled with more holes than a delicious piece of cheese. It’s a clumsy farce and reminds us all of how the plot holes in the first two newer movies, continue to roll along and smash Lucas’ legacy.

The time frame of events, the new force powers, the fight, the ending! They should have spent more time coming up with a story that made sense before they even released The Force Awakens. They had no idea where they were going with the story and hoped they'd find there way by the end but this is a terrible way to end the saga. Don't waste your time watching it in theaters, just wait for it to come out with a directors cut so everything they had to cut to make this nauseating mess is put back in.… Expand

The first half of the movie was basically like watching someone play a fetch quest in a video game after they've entered godmode cheats. Rey's overpoweredness is even worse in this movie, with her suddenly able to do insane things that we haven't seen ever before. The side effect of this is that every moment of her on screen is devoid of tension, because she is guaranteed to win in spectacular fashion. It is also jam packed with memberberries.

The movie completely invalidates and ruins the achievements and payoffs of the first six movies, and the movie doesn't offer any explanation on why this happened. It was infuriating how they canceled out everything that happened in Return of the Jedi, and then proceeded to remake it during the second half of the movie.

This whole trilogy needed an outline and game plan. It is an incoherent mess devoid of good storytelling elements.… Expand

Ryan Johnson had created an authorial film with the experiment of the last Jedi while J.J Abrams now switch to fan made film with jumble style that destroys almost every single character of the film. The script is so embarrassing that it seems impossible that no one noticed it. Great actors seem amateur. The spiritual tradition of the saga collapse in favour of continuous tributes. Action in two scenes is enjoyable but path to arrive to it is so chaotic that this scenes become an end in themselves.

Rey is a awful character and this movie does nothing to make her any better. The story in this is basically non existent. Its get the thing go kill Palpatine and roll credits. This movie just destroys star wars cannon by having force ghosts grabbing light sabers. moronic force powers. Luke , Han, Lea are all dead and were made a bunch of losers and died like idiots.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In terms of plot, lore and even logic, The Rise of the Skywalker is the worst in the trilogy, which is really saying a lot. The one thing that makes it more tolerable than the other two is that it's not a complete bore.

Make no mistake, the plot is beyond stupid and JJ Abrams, as always, has no original idea and recycles stuff from the old movies. And finally, after having many videogames trying to be like movies, we have a movie that tries to have the plot of a videogame. Instead of having a normal 3 Act structure like any competently made film, the Story of the Rise of the Skywalker is structured like that of a videogame. So inthe first level you go to find the McGuffin, the second level you learn more about the McGuffin, third level is just there to prolong the gameplay, in the fourth you are finally reminded what the plot is and in the fifth you go to fight the final boss.

As far as continuity and lore goes, this movie is a travesty. I gues JJ just said **** It" and threw everything in order to make it more epic: Star Destroyers that each has a Death Star cannon, Palpatine can now take out a whole fleet with his lightning, people can be healed and brought back from the death(poor Anakin, if only he knew), etc. But my favorite has to be the cavalry charge on the top of a Star Destroyer, at least once in my life I would like to have whatever JJ was having when he wrote that.

All this stupidity makes it at least something to look at, simillar to a dumbster fire, unlike the Last Jedi which put me to sleep. Not to mention that the characters are almost likeable now and they do have some chemistry. Rey is still a Marry Sue but she finally has an arc. Poe is a pretty good character when he is not having his priviledge constantly checked by older women and his bromance with Finn is still entertaining. Speaking of Finn however, he is still useless. In the Force Awakens he was the character with the most potential but here, once again, he doesn't do anything, other than maybe being cucked by Lando at the end. As for Palpatine, he is kinda boring now since he doesn't ham it up like in the old movies. Still his Fortress and Cult were kind of cool, so props to them for the first OT character they didn't completelly ruin.

Rise of Skywalker is not what killed the franchise, it's just the final nail in coffin of a trilogy that was dead on arrival. But like Palpatine's corpse, Disney will bring it back again and again until it stops making them money.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yet another formula driven narrative. Very rushed. So many inconsistencies. It just felt like they made a list when brainstorming at the writers table, and proceeded to check off the items on their list. I didn't feel connected to any characters, other than maybe Chewbacca. I know a lot of people who don't want to get connected to fictional characters or stories and they live for great CGI and visual effects and not much more will probably enjoy the film. Hollywood has learned how to make their billions from that very audience by following a very precise formula. If it weren't for The Mandalorian I would be giving up on any hopes of future Star Wars projects. Not really angry about it, as it is what it is. I am just disappointed as it could have been so much more. I remember buying the original Star Wars scripts back in 1999 and wondering, wow....I wonder what Luke Skywalker does next....what will become of the Jedi Order? I cant' say finding out was really worth the wait.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie had no redeeming qualities at all. It was part Indiana Jones, part Harry Potter, part LOTR, and part SW--not SW. There were many plot points to the movie and yet all of them were bad.

I, or maybe the internet, thought Rey was related to Palpatine after TFA. To see that come true was just terrible especially after the revelation that Rey wasn't related to anyone. The dialogue was often worse than the worst parts of the prequel trilogy. You could tell the actors were trying their hardest not to cringe at the dialogue at times. I really feel sorry for Ian McDermed whose last performance in ROTS was just incredible. It was the definitive showoff for the character. One particular plot point that I really thought was strange was that Lando and Luke searched unsuccessfully for the sith artifact/ship of the one guy a long time ago, and yet Rey and the gang find it by accident in a matter of minutes. Luke is connected to the force. Wouldn't he be able to tell if something was give off dark side energy? That was the point the movie first made me cringe. The next was Rey stopping the frigate with the force and then blowing it up with lightning. The worse part was that they made it seem like she killed Chewie for about five minutes. If Chewie is to die even in a fake out death, he deserves a way better death than something ridiculous like that. The movie does reverse other parts of The Last Jedi like Luke having respect for the Jedi again, Rose's inclusion as a main character, and Kylo Ren being all encumbered with being evil. One aspect it does not reverse is the force connection between Rey and Kylo which Snoke created. How is it still around if Snoke is dead? It doesn't matter, and it's used around 10 times here and in a more extreme way than before. Rey and Ren have lightsaber duels through the force portal when before they could barely touch their hands together. The Last Jedi hinted at letting the past die, but here it's all about reliving the past.

I guess the only compliment I can give the movie is the sets and locales were really interesting. The sith ghost stadium was pretty cool looking as well. If this had been used in some other way in the plot, it would have made more sense.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is by far the worst of the recent Star Wars movies. My theory is that they knew what ending they wanted and worked out the script backwards from there. It is boring, repetitive and by the end purely nonsensical. You have to groan in disbelief when there is yet another revelation that a major character is related to the iconic originals. The space battle special effects are mediocre at best. Even Solo was better than this. Daisy Ridley is fine as Rey but some of the things she has to do are ludicrous. I think it is time for Kathleen Kennedy to step down from overseeing this franchise. The last few years have been a mess. There is always talk of getting a visionary scriptwriter and/or director to do something different but then the fear sets in and there is a retreat - and the end result is something that feels like it was created by a committee. I was looking forward to seeing this movie but the end result is a major disappointment. This is a botch.… Expand

Cons: Written like a bad Saturday morning cartoon. Painful dialogue, (more) useless characters.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a mess.
Let's start from the beginning. First they come outright that Palpatine is back, never actually being dead and Snoke was actually Palpatines puppet or something. Second Rey is a Jedi Master now, being trained by Lea since she is a Jedi Master herself being capable to defeat Luke but she stopped because reasons, and what fun they do a Ryan Luke to her, she basically died making a phone call, because that was a good idea from the Last Jedi.
Third the constant jumping between the planets with the same things happening: They come to a planet they have to find the plot device, Rey has visions of Ren, they battle via the force calls, something goes wrong but somehow they make it work. Rinse and repeat.
Oh and force users can teleport items and by the looks of it also the users themselves.
Rey is apparently a Palpatine thus making the talk that her parents are nobodies into random idiotic line.
Honestly right now I'm dumbstruck right now, I'm so disappointed that I'm close to angry. They at least could have turned Rey into a bad guy considering it would have been a better ending honestly but no, they toy with a lot of good ideas but didn't have the balls to do it instead they go the safe route.… Expand

TheI have no idea how a "respectable" movie studio can make a trilogy of films without actually doing anything remarkable when it comes to the main story. The first movie relied on nostalgia, and it's kinda logical, to lure us back in. The second one effectively pissed on the first one and actually tried to go to a different direction, it's the only one that tries to be original. Then this movie completely ignores both of those movies and tries to sell an awfully cheap story as "the end of the saga" that nobody asked for. I read a "scenario leak" on reddit a couple of months ago, and I have to say that that story was much better than the one I actually saw in the movie theater. So, basically, a random guy wrote a better scenario than these guys did. The Last Jedi is the least bad movie in this trilogy, 35% of the movie was pure crap, but I admire the bravery to try something else. The Rise of Skywalker will be remembered as an example of what forcing a series of films without any plan or vision whatsoever looks like.
I though I was being harsh, but I haven't yet met a person who saw this movie and liked it.… Expand

The acting is bad, but that's par for the course. The script is easily high school drama club level, and apes lines from all previous films. It's a greatest hits of Star Wars, but it forgot the songs we actually freaking like. The redemption arc is forced. The ultimate villain arc is forced. The final battles are super forced. The understanding of the Force is turned into how we played make-believe as kids - the Force could do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted.

This movie is absolute garbage. They can't helpThose 3 points are for the VFX-artists and setdesigners/propmakers who worked their ass off to get this movie made, and to John Williams, who is always the best part of any Star Wars film.

This movie is absolute garbage. They can't help themselves making the same movie over and over again, until you can hardly call it a movie anymore. For me this one ruined 7 and 8 as it reveals that there was no plan, roadmap or anything to steer this trilogy. This trilogy is basically the Disney Improvisation show, especially this movie.

They have so much to do in this film, so much to develop. But what do they do? They shove in a bunch of new PC characters, locations and pointless action scenes. It is honestly insulting, the way Rise of Skywalker treats it's audience.

It is filled with plot devices, plot holes, deus ex machina's and false deaths.

I was hoping that they would reawaken my love for star wars but they buried it for good. I went in with an open mind, not nit-picking at all, and still this move made me angry.

I always ridiculed the prequels and thought it was rather funny, the way they threw out George Lucas' concepts. But now I'm genuinely upset that we never got to see what his vision was. The man who made the originals, not the man who just copies them.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My neck hurts because of the countless times I had to shake my head while watching this movie. Let's start with the good things: The movie looks great as always and the jokes are better then the ones in The Last Jedi. That's it. The movie begins by establishing a new story which has almost no connection to the events shown in the previous movies. It's obvious that J.J Abrams tried to save the trilogie with this movie, but he failed. Seems like everyone can use healing powers now (why didn't Luke heal Darth Vader at the end of Episode 6?), Kylo Ren can grab objects that are lightyears away and Palpatin builds an armada consisting of thousands of Star Destroyers (which are all equiped with weapons as powerful as the Death Star, because why not?)on a planet that is the least hostile place in the universe and without ANYONE noticing it. Scenes like the one where Rey is holding back an entire spaceship by using the force are just the icing on the cake. This whole movie is a mess and (hopefully) the final nail in the coffin.… Expand

The story is not overwhelming, but at least entertaining. The story develops to quick, the action scenes are good, there are some funny parts and some sad ones, although because of the quick story developing they never really shake you or give you time to think. It's a mediocre movie with great actors and some moments. But it's a star wars movie. The third installment of a trilogy. A sequel to other movies with a very well elaborated plot and character history. If you compare it to (at least) the last two movies it's redundant. Some main characters are completely unnecessary for the whole plot line, others show a development you will definitely not understand and others seem to exist just to fit with the nostalgic fanbase.

Compared to the prequels this movie and in particular the whole sequel trilogy is bad. Don't get me wrong. This movie and all other movies from the sequel trilogy (even Last Jedi) are very well made. However, you cannot judge a movie only by its production value. From a plot point it's not good, it's chaotic and there's no coherence. You have to judge this movie in comparison to the last two movies and in the end you will give it a 3/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After The Last Jedi, a movie with strong themes, direction, and beautiful cinematography I expected more. Star Wars is known for its clear themes, distinct character focus, and mythical storytelling. With The Rise of Skywalker I felt as if I were watching a Marvel movie spectacle - and a bad one at that. Poor editing, incoherent plot lines, and some plot threads brought up only to be dropped and unheard of again, it felt like a schizophrenic departure from its two predecessors. I came out of the theater asking myself, "What was the theme? What was the point?" The entire movie, scene by scene, seemed to be screaming "THIS IS NOT THE LAST JEDI." Rather than focusing on a good film with cohesive themes and an intelligible plot, this film seemed to aim for pandering to its fan base. It couldn't even be complimented on its cinematography, wit, or character. All around disappointing and vapid film aimed to provide spectacle and no depth.… Expand

This trilogy will be remembered forever as, the disney trilogy bad.
You really do a trilogy and nobody says but what the crap is this? I still don't understand how someone disney responsible for this "trilogy" has resigned.

Disney killed everything Star Wars, nough said. I was a fan since the age of 4 with the old trilogy. I purposely didn't watch this in a theater to make sure Disney didn't get a cent from me after the previous 2 train wrecks. I even intend toDisney killed everything Star Wars, nough said.
