A fantastically fun ride. Borrow some elements from the larger Star Wars universe that may feel foreign to the cinematic universe, but overall a well executed end to a big story.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Star Wars final chapter felt like an enjoyable journey, from the get go it starts with great action set pieces and continues through out, the new locations are gorgeous Disney really brought they’re all to make sure this film looked good. 2 hours 22 minutes is the run time and I honestly felt there wasn’t a dull moment it felt like a fight till the end and my eyes could not be taken off from the screen. Some of your favourite characters make a return in some way or another along with a very surprising and somewhat confusing twist involving a returning character.

I feel there was missed opportunities through out the film most notably the choice of which Rey makes in regards to Kylo Ren’s offer to join the dark side I feel if she chose to do so the dynamic of the film would have changed and made for a more jaw dropping and surprising twist then what we got the flow of the film was great and the final scene was magical highly recommend seeing it won’t disappoint… Expand

A hectic story, but this movie delivers emotionally on many beats; some is fan service, but some is actual depth. This trilogy ends better than I could have hoped after the last.

More than any other episode, this film shows how vibrant the galaxy is, thanks to the many beautiful alien landscapes that frame a high speed hunt for the big baddie. Despite the rush, weight is given to character's progression and emotions in the right moments, nevertheless, some might be left wanting for just a bit more time with the characters they have learned to love.The heroes' speed run across the galaxy comes with a price, since one can see some degree of scene skipping. This shows that the movie needed more screen time, but maybe a director's cut treatment will do the trick. However, this is compensated by the great interpretation of the characters, special effects and an amazing music score that recalls to all previous movies.Above everything, Episode IX is packed with references and continues stories and tidbits of not only the main movies but also the animated series. This is a clear tribute to the creators and fans of Star Wars and gives a feeling of character's continuity since Episode I. In the end, The Rise of Skywalker ends this book of Star Wars mythos with a strong and universal message about what is that truly defines a person.I am left with the hope that this is just closed a book of a larger saga, and that Star Wars deserves new books to tell more about the galaxy that has filled our imagination for years.… Expand

Not for boring old grown ups and Last Jedi fans (since it's heavy with the retconning). Critics say it's the worst since the Phantom Menace, but the fact is audiences had a lot of fun watching the Phantom Menace before the internet ruined it for everyone and I had fun with this movie too. It's a return to the old-fashioned, good vs. evil adventure story that Star Wars originally was. No post-modern subversion of your expectations (though it does have some interesting twists) and no bumming you out with real world politics and the idea that morality is a murky confusing mess. If you liked the Last Jedi or want Star Wars to be like Joker (or whatever else boring people who can't admit they like something that's kid friendly are into), you'll hate this movie. If you're just looking to have a good time and want better answers to the questions Force Awakens posed, you'll love it.… Expand

I'm not going to call it incredibly thought-provoking (it's not) neither will I cite its incredible insights into the human condition (there aren't many), but what it is is a rip-roaring sci-fi adventure and a sprawling space opera epic that feels more akin to 1980s George Lucas than anything I've seen since. It's almost Spielbergian.

What J.J. Abrams brings to the table is an incredible love for the original trilogy and even the prequels. The movie is gushing, just bursting at the seams, with adoration and respect for this franchise. I mean, it's bursting at the seams in almost every regard—aliens, robots, explosions, ways in which one might use the force or a lightsaber. It's one of the frequent complaints critics are throwing at it. But if you sat through the last two Avengers films with no complaint, I don't think that should be an issue for the stalwart nerd. I don't think this movie erases The Last Jedi. In fact, I think it's nestled The Last Jedi a little deeper into my hard, calloused heart, as well as those awkward prequels.

When The Rise of Skywalker trailer started with all those clips from episodes I-VI, I'm not gonna lie, I was annoyed. I was like, "No, Disney, you're not going to manipulate my nostalgia and sucker me into yet another one your money-sucking mega franchise event films." Alas, J.J. Abrams has manipulated my nostalgia, as he always does. Someway, somehow, this stupid movie has made me fall in love with Star Wars all over again. Maybe not Solo. But definitely the canonical numbered films. It's a big blustery behemoth of a love letter to Star Wars nerds everywhere.… Expand

JJ Abrams brings the true Star Wars spirit back to the franchise with a story that builds on the entire history of Star Wars, course corrects the missteps of TLJ, and gives Adam Driver his best turn as Kylo Ren, all of it sprinkled with surprises and delivered with unrelenting action. The perfect conclusion to the Skywalker saga.

So why the haters? Maybe the pacing was a bit unrelenting. OK sure, but so what. A lot better than it being dull and slow. People don't like Palpitane's return. But we all knew that going in. True, there is not a detailed explanation as to how he survived, but he's hooked up to a million machines so it's pretty clear he was salvaged by someone in a way similar to the way Vader was salvaged in Episode III. There is only so much time in the film. We can see more about that in a DVD special features or in the novelization. Finally, people complain about Palpitane's power at the finale. There is a very specific reason he was able to do that at that moment, but apparently the haters were not paying attention.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the movie was good, it could’ve been better but it could’ve been a lot worse. It starts off really solid we see scenes of Kylo cutting though a group of enemies, which was quite brutal we see limbs getting cut off and a lot of it’s in slow motion which just adds so much to the scene. We also see the falcon with Poe, Fin and a few others running away from the first order having a bit of banter which was nice to see, i thought them making quick jumps to hyperspace was fun and demonstrates something we’ve been told since a new hope, that the falcon is fast which is nice to see we haven’t seen it being any faster than other ships before. The middle seemed a bit rushed to me running around like a bunch of fetch quests in a game but it didn’t ruin it for me. Palatine was great a little weak at the end but he was scary which was a fantastic change to the other ones where I saw him as quite pathetic. I didn’t mind the force powers either Rays force heal worked, it took away form some things that happen to Kylo but again it didn’t ruin it. I felt like they should’ve brought back all the former force ghost to help ray fight him instead they made them talk to her which I think was meant to be them helping her but it would’ve been nice, still gave me chills to hear Anikin, Obi wan, mace, yoda, qui gon and the rest of felt good. And we finally saw that Luke train Leia which should’ve been mentioned before. If you are going to see it ignore the reviews and go in with an open mind and remember all of starwars has cringy writing don’t focus on it take in the experience instead.… Expand

The opening sequence (not shot, sequence) is my favorite opening sequence in all of Star Wars. J.J Abrams subtlety cleans up the mess Rian Johnson left us with and even repairs some of the things he did. J.J. shows us HE should have been in charge of all three movies in this franchise from the get go. The story is a fast paced action packed ride and we get the most powerful Kylo Ren we've seen, which is amazing. Rey EARNS her power through the most difficult trials personally she's had in the franchise, which finally shows us the great character that she always was but now it let's us appreciate it and her place in the story more.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the only truly bad thing i can say about this movie is that there is a kiss so ridiculous in the final act that people in the movie theater were laughing their asses off about it. it’s absurd and has no chemistry or build up whatsoever. and it comes on the heels of a “redemption” that is never a redemption at all; just simply a switching of sides from one second to the next.

however, apart from that, it’s the most star wars movie i could ask for. it has heart, it has action and fun and emotion and the good characters trying to stay good people even in the face of incredible odds. it’s such a fitting end to the saga that i left the theater more relieved than i thought was possible, with my only thought being: “ok, that’s over; now i’m ready to see other characters and stories in this universe!”.… Expand

The conclusion was nonetheless very satisfying, beautifully filmed, and well worth seeing. I can't wait to get it on iTunes and watch it again!… Expand

Yes, but it had to be if it was going to fix the Last Jedi and still give character arcs for everyone. Rey actually has a character arc and no longer a Mary Sue. Ghost Luke acts like a master Jedi instead of a bum. Poe is respected and has some of the funniest moments (yes, this movie actually has jokes that land), Finn is not a goofball character. Our three main heroes actually bond and you can feel their friendship. C3P0 and R2D2 are in this movie a lot, which was missing in the first two. The dumb plot points from the leaks are true, but our characters are saved. Go see this movie.… Expand

There was too much action, which got tiring after a while, and not enough to story, but...it was an entertaining film that lots of casual movie-goers will enjoy seeing. Hard-core Star Wars fans are critiquing the plot, and proclaiming the film horrible while..its not quite THAT bad. It was just OK for a Star Wars movie, and at least ended well, so...7/10 is a fair score. It could have been better in so many ways, but was still an OK film, and hopefully any future films actually spend more time on originality and story. (I liked TFA, TLJ and Solo quite a bit, was so-so on Rogue One, which was very similar in having too much action and not enough story, but same way..was still an OK movie, and worth seeing.) I would rate ROS...below those first 3, and about as good as Rogue one, but with the better main characters and the more important "main story". Made to please casual movie viewers, but...not a strong story, nor a great movie. But, not an abomination that deserves a 0 or 1 score either. You can't please everyone. but you should at least make the film what you think it should be, and not just cater to fans as...you end up with a jumbled mess of endless action sequences and "chasing" this or that plot item for "action" sake as a result. Just a so-so 7/10, but it has its moments, and is worth seeing as well, even with its flaws.… Expand

Rey being palpatine and palpatine being what he is surely seen in the future star wars. Overall a good comeback. Sequels and the Original are still the best for me of course.… Expand

Rise of Skywalker had to be a difficult movie for Mr. Abrams to make. This sequel trilogy had two different directors both running at full force in two different directions in Ep VII and VIII. The last and final episode of the great StarRise of Skywalker had to be a difficult movie for Mr. Abrams to make. This sequel trilogy had two different directors both running at full force in two different directions in Ep VII and VIII. The last and final episode of the great Star Wars Skywalker saga shows how a great director and cinematic project team can pull off something amazing despite the disjointed story up to that point. I have been a Star Wars fan for about 30 years of my life, and there have definitely been some really high moments, and really low moments in the series. For me, and this is only my opinion, I thought Ep VII was trying to be too safe by copying a new hope. Ep VIII had some cool moments, but I thought it was the worst movie of the sequel trilogy, that's due to my love for the Jedi story in Star Wars, and I felt that there were many wrong turns taken in regard to how Luke Skywalker was portrayed (granted I don't know what Rian Johnson's vision for Ep IX was supposed to bring for Luke Skywalker). Rise of Skywalker brought out some great acting moments by the entire cast of the movie. The previous installments had some of the most stale emotional attachments in the series, but this movie corrects that (IMO). There were a few new characters introduced in this new outing, and I felt that they were a good addition, and I enjoyed getting to know them despite being short lived. There were a couple of romances in this movie, and while they could have easily been eliminated from the movie, I felt like they didn't take away from making it great. Like others have mentioned, this is a movie packed full of story because it had to almost be a full story in itself, taking the ideas from VII and VIII and bringing that story to a close. The visuals, sound effects, and soundtrack were all top notch. The creative team on Rise of Skywalker took some creative liberties in regards to the entire previous concept of what the force is and how it is portrayed in previous Star Wars movies. I personally think that their creativity paid off, and was impressed that I could still be surprised by the force in a Star Wars movie. The lightsaber battles were really good, and I felt like there was a lot of emotion that went into them. Space battles were really good, and had some real desperation to them at moments where you weren't sure how things were going to play out. I like how Han, Leia, Luke, and Chewie all had meaningful impacts on the outcome of Rise of Skywalker. Granted there was some backstepping that had to occur, and time taken to explain plot points from Ep VIII, but in general the Rise of Skywalker did a great job pulling everything together at the end. It wasn't until the last scene of the movie that I felt like they wrapped this series up with a nice tidy bow. I felt like this was one of the best movies in the series, and the only reason why I didn't rate this as a 10 was due to it being a bit too congested for one film. I really think they should have made this final episode into two separate movies. I just love Star Wars though, so I could always use another Star Wars movie. I hope that you go and see this movie because there really was a lot of thought put into it.… Expand

Metacritic ranked this film the tenth out of the eleven films and yet ranked The Last Jedi second. For me this movie did everything I wanted and then more. It’s incredible what they were able to do in terms of getting things on track after the missteps in The Last Jedi and Carrie Fisher’s death. I feel like this movie brought things full circle as much as possible and gave a ton of nods to fans. Whereas The Last Jedi was Rian Johnson’s attempt to upend what Star Wars is all about, The Rise of Skywalker tries to recapture what was in the originals and tie up the loose ends to close the saga satisfactorily. And for me it did just that. The fact that ROS brings back the traditional tropes of the originals is why critics are giving it bad reviews. That’s why they loved TLJ so much. TLJ was Johnson’s attempt to see how much he could upend and still get away with. Doing things differently for the sake of doing things differently doesn’t make a good final product. Hence why Luke’s arc was almost ruined. There is some restoration of his journey in ROS. Anyway, just focus on enjoying the movie and stop worrying about what these bitter critics are trying to pick apart.… Expand

In a cycle things return full circle. And to get caught up in plot holes and logic when your watching a movie from a franchise, set in another galaxy, that has always eschewed the physics of outer space, is sort of silly. Was the movie perfect, probably not, but to say it’s the worst in the saga is major hyperbole. I mean worse than “Attack of the Clones”? Come on! That being said I’ve seen AOC like twenty times because, warts and all, it’s part of the Star Wars. Also, all of the films since the original have existed in the context of a larger universe. Books, comics, tv shows. So, if you’re having trouble following along, perhaps your confusion says something about your personal interest in the franchise.

An incredible achievement. Abrams, Terrio, and the whole team had an almost impossible task here but they miraculously delivered. Contrary to what I'm seeing from many people in the film critic world and a small minority of fans, I thoughtAn incredible achievement. Abrams, Terrio, and the whole team had an almost impossible task here but they miraculously delivered. Contrary to what I'm seeing from many people in the film critic world and a small minority of fans, I thought that this movie was very much inspired and ambitious, taking many risks that could have easily fallen flat but instead somehow worked beautifully. Moreover, the love and care that went into crafting it shines through in just about every single scene; the resulting experience is pure delight soaring through a deluge of tears.

I was blown away by how much of Leia we saw, and how well they pulled it off; I was expecting for her role in this chapter to rely way more on indirect references and inferences, but instead she was right there. Sure, knowing that it was built upon footage that was taken in an entirely different context makes it hard to squint enough to completely blur the seams, but more than anything else, I was deeply touched by how beautifully her scenes and arc were woven into the overall story. I don't think I've ever cried so much during a movie!

Leia's incorporation wasn't the only miraculous element of this movie; it was really the overall story and how strongly it brought the whole saga together like a jigsaw puzzle. So many questions answered while staying true to Star Wars as a modern mythology filled with powerful archetypes (and mysteries), and it never felt cheap or overwrought to me. I think it actually made The Last Jedi (which I also liked a lot, just in case you feel tempted to write me off as another Rian Johnson hater) better; there were multiple elements in that film that I struggled to make sense of, but this one somehow managed to pull many of them into the fold in a fascinating and seamless way. It didn't undo or diminish anything from "Last;" it only built upon and enriched that chapter's plot and themes.

More miracles: The performances in this film, especially by Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, were the best acting I've ever seen in a Star Wars movie. There really wasn't a weak link anywhere. John Boyega was the best he's been in this trilogy, Oscar Isaac was great as always, I absolutely adored Keri Russell as Zorri Bliss and Naomi Ackie as Jannah, and the returning cast from the original trilogy were (seemingly) effortlessly perfect (I loved how big of a role 3PO had!). The chemistry between everybody was totally natural and at times electric; really all you could ask for. Oh, and Babu Frik and D-0! So good!

All of this came together to give us a movie with a ton of heart and soul, lots of shocking surprises, a powerful message of hope and love, loads of thrilling action with my favorite lightsaber duels ever, and just the right amount of humor that managed to be fresh and playful while still having that classic Star Wars feel. And it was just plain fun! Remember fun? And finally, it had MAGIC. This will probably enrage "Rise" haters to no end as the ultimate sacrilege, but I honestly haven't felt such a sense of magic in a Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back's Yoda and X-Wing scene on Dagobah impossibly combined a small green hand puppet, Miss Piggy's and Cookie Monster's puppeteer and voice actor, a fog-machined studio swamp set, a model spaceship, and John Williams' score into something miraculously sublime. Perhaps we can thank Carrie Fisher's spirit for intervening with a little touch of Force magic in this one.

Just one more thought, and for some this will probably be the most polarizing: I couldn't help but notice how powerfully this final chapter of the saga lifted up a number of simple but deeply universal messages just as the strongest of the previous episodes have, and in this case they were quite relevant to the dark times we currently find ourselves in. I especially loved Zorri's "They win by making you think you’re alone" and "There's more of us" while stormtroopers moved throughout the village separating children from their families. So very, very applicable to the nightmare we're going through in the US (and many other parts of the world) right now. (Sorry Trump fans, I don't know how to put it more gently. Star Wars has always been a cry of protest against a very real dark side, whose traits -- anger, hatred, cruelty, greed, narcissism, deceit, impulsiveness, impatience, authoritarianism, autocracy -- are so thoroughly personified by the current resident of the White House and his GOP sycophants that this episode can't help but have an overtly politically message if it wants to stay true to the values that have undergirded Star Wars from the beginning.) The scenes of community and diversity, fueled by love and hope, among members of the Resistance shine as an alternative vision for us to strive towards. And for those of us with loved ones who have fallen prey to these dark, tribalistic impulses, this movie also offers a powerful reminder to not lose hope in them. May the Force be with us all.… Expand

Excellent movie. Don’t let the thoughts of those who only want to spread the lack of joy in their own hearts discourage you from enjoying what you want to enjoy.

Star wars is more about hope and belief in good. This movie produces this spirit. Stop hating on it and the people that originally found hope from episode 4 (THE ORIGINAL)

JJ Abrahms (and Disney). Thank you. I grew up with Star Wars (born the year the original was released). I spent every Saturday morning from when I can remember watching the original trilogy.
This movie gave all the origianl trilogy heroes (Lea, Luke, Han, and all droids) so much of a goodbye in brilliant spirirt, as well as character development and ending arc's and stories of the new characters (and the plot) of the final trilogy. Kylo/Ben's and Reys were particularly great and engaging.
This was a true starwars movie and I had to hide my tears.
Starwars fan from day 1.

I liked it. Fast paced, great visuals and so much better than horrific episode 8. Thank you JJA for quite good solution to this mess. I love the casting - Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo are perfect in this episode. They deserved better story

Le film est dynamique et très dense en action. Alors oui certains éléments ne plairont pas à tout le monde. Cependant cet épisode sauve un peu la baraque.

I just wish this movie were a bit longer and less fast-paced and they included some of the other Force ghosts from the past, but it is what it is. And for that and the amazing story that's told, concluding not just this sequel trilogy but all three trilogies, I think we should all really be thankful. There has never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. The cast and music and story...were great! Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) really stole the show and that's a great thing! I say, totally ignore all the toxic fans and so-called "critics" that love to hate on things. Anyone who doesn't really like this film can't even really be considered a true Star Wars fan because how could they not want the story and the Skywalker Saga to have an ending after over four decades!? Everything comes to an end. Whether you like the story, some of the decisions made and the ending or not, it's your opinion. And that's all it really is. Star Wars is not yours. You are just very lucky to be able to enjoy these movies, all of us are very fortunate to be able to have had them continue on in the form of this excellent sequel trilogy. I hope the silent majority of fans, like the Rebellion/Resistance itself, rises up and posts positive reviews because if you don't voice your support for this film online, the toxic fake fanboys and their insignificant critics, will drown you all out. They want you to feel alone and isolated, even if you liked the movie or want to go see it. So go see the movie, enjoy it, love it (hopefully!) and post positive reviews to counter all the ridiculous negativity!… Expand

What do you wish for? A movie about space samurai wielding laser swords who occasionally lift things and use mind control to be fluid and clear? A movie based on a trilogy, based around 8 other direct tie ins to stand on it's own? This movieWhat do you wish for? A movie about space samurai wielding laser swords who occasionally lift things and use mind control to be fluid and clear? A movie based on a trilogy, based around 8 other direct tie ins to stand on it's own? This movie is not any of those, it will never be everything you want a hundred million dollar movie franchise to be. Do you wish to ignore the horrible decaying world around you for a couple hours and change? Want to chuckle, be enthused, depressed, and maybe even cry? Then give this movie a chance. The people who have already decided their opinion on this movie will not be moved, nore will I even try to push them. This is Star Wars, enjoy the ride, or hate the bumps in the rollercoaster.… Expand

Maybe it's not the best of the nine movies (for me the fourth best), but you can enjoy it if you stop listening the haters.

Eu não queria dirigir um filme desse calibre, você tem que se preocupar em acalmar fãs que acham a trilogia inteira ruim (e que levam star wars como filosofia de vida e agridem quem achou a trilogia nova boa), você tem que se preocupar em não destruir a infantil mente das crianças (e, por tanto, não pode criar plots do calibre de um Game of Thrones da vida), e também precisa acabar não só uma trilogia, como também uma história que já tem 8 filmes e inúmeras HQs de background. Vejo esse filme como um ótimo tributo à saga, apesar dos pesares!… Expand

This film takes the mess left behind and executes some stupid and silly ideas very well. This film was enjoyable, the action scenes were very much impactful and a joy to watch. The acting is exceptional and runs alongside amazing directing by JJ Abrams who does a very good job to make it feel like a 'Star Wars' film. That being said, the film was relatively convoluted but it was not extremely hard to keep up with the plot, there is just a lot to take in here. Overall, 'The Rise of Skywalker' is unpredictable in good ways, takes risks that work out pretty well, but with that comes a bit of a mess that unfortunately can make someone lose their focus with the screenplay. People are going to say it just sucks and it "the worst star wars film," but that is not true at all. Just try to enjoy it, it is not spectacular or by any means the best 'Star Wars' film, but it is really good and worthy of having the name "Skywalker" in its title, and a good amount of that is derived from that terrific ending. Score: 7.8/10… Expand
