It's fast paced and exciting the entire ride. Familiar faces and new ones take you on a journey through history in the Skywalker Saga with this climactic conclusion. It's an emotional roller coaster and certainly brings the story to an end.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel the rise of skywalker is one of the best Star Wars movies released from Disney Star Wars and I give it a solid 8.5/10. Sadly, what ruins this movie is the fact that many fans, critics and general movie fans were already prepared to hate this movie before its release and according to my opinion, bad press and critics are to blame for this movie's poor ratings. I feel many fans and critics rate this movie on the basis of the last Jedi and I have to agree with them that episode 8 is what ruined the Disney Star Wars saga for good. I also find that many critics believe this move is a rip off of The return of the Jedi and I have to say the scenes that made Return of the Jedi so memorable among fans is the basic essence of this movie, and that basic essence which powers Rise of skywalker makes it a cohesive ending for the 9 film skywalker saga.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal complains against this movie... (minor spoilers):
I find the return of the emperor a bit odd as we all saw Palpatine being thrown down the death star shaft for good by his apprentice Darth Vader and was assumed dead but he is back, and the explanation for his return is a bit lacking.
The sacrifice of Vader seems as if it was thrown down the reactor shaft of the death star.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, Rise of skywalker is an amazing must-see movie and I recommend it to all fans of all ages. I also like to urge the audiences to “see through the lies of the critics”, and enjoy this film with an open mind. I would like to close my review by saying may the force be with you.

Episode 7 was too edentulous, but not bad. In episode 8, I was simultaneously delighted with bold ideas and upset with some of the worst scenes in Star Wars history (like Super-Lea flying in space). Episode 9 is not flawless, but lacks the shortcomings of the previous two. His own flaw is the rush with which events unfold. I can assume that Johnson has moved too far away from Abrams' original idea, so JJ had to correct the narrative and simultaneously tell the plot of the new part, which led to the fit of two scenarios into one. Even so, Episode 9 is one of the most dynamic in the series. It has a lot of beautiful and spectacular moments and locations, the characters behave quite adequately, especially given the general rush of the film, which sometimes does not give them time to experience. And I think that of all the plot porridge that came out at the junction of episodes 7 and 8, Abrams carved out quite nice and logical. Not the best part of the franchise, but probably the best part in the trilogy. Perhaps Kevin Feige will have a more holistic narrative in future films.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m not going to post a lengthy review. Just a few words:
This is it, people. This is Star Wars. Some people will like it. Some people won’t. But this is the real stuff. If you don’t like this movie, it’s just that you don’t like Star Wars. There is nothing wrong with it. I’m sure there will be tons of other movies out there for you. But JJ got so much right with this one. Just the scene with Ghost Luke catching the lightsaber that Rey throws away (and behaving as the good old Luke we knew and loved) is priceless.... one of many metaphorical undoings of TLJ mishaps. There are a few nitpicks here and there, of course, but overall I exited the cinema smiling ear to ear like a child, something that haven’t happened yet with the new trilogy.… Expand

At several places the narrative suffers from the her absence, but I respect the decisions her estate made. I saw the first film in the theater when I was 13. To varying degrees, every film after Empire has been a disappointment. This was no exception. But I thought it was a good attempt at resolving the "sequel trilogy."… Expand

This movie is by no means perfect, but it is action packed and finally makes the new characters (Rey, Poe, Finn) interesting. It was hard not to leave this movie and not feel a sense of disappointment however. Not with the movie specifically, but with the missed opportunity of the entire sequel trilogy. How Disney did not plan a cohesive storyline is truly shocking. The trilogy is disjointed and clearly rushed, offering nothing to further the original trilogy. Going forward, I hope Disney treats this property with the respect it deserves and not rush out content.… Expand

It hits a lot of the marks you would expect of a Star Wars movie and while it does not dig too deep, it delivers the excitement back to the fans. The first 30-40 min has a large amount of jumping around to get the story caught up to where things need to be to close out the film. If many of these initial elements could have been in TLJ, this transition would have been much smoother. I found myself really appreciating elements from TLJ that set up and fit very well into RoS to tie characters together and reinforce actions they made while leading to the next actions. Overall, all the marks were hit for these characters, especially Leia, Kylo Ren and Rey. Action was on point and there is lots of it, Humor is in the right places, and the nostalgia of what Fans like has returned. Well done all things considered.… Expand

I can understand some folks not being blown away by Rise of Skywalker. It's not the ending to the trilogy that shatters expectations and rises above the just-OK quality of its two predecessors. Yet, for all the hate the movie is receiving byI can understand some folks not being blown away by Rise of Skywalker. It's not the ending to the trilogy that shatters expectations and rises above the just-OK quality of its two predecessors. Yet, for all the hate the movie is receiving by some, it's actually quite good. Star Wars has been about nostalgia for literally everyone that saw the original trilogy before the extra films came out and Rise of Skywalker taps into that nostalgia just enough to give you that warm and triumphant feeling now-and-then. The way this story was told wasn't outstanding - it just wasn't, but it was adequate enough to not harm the enjoyment of the film. Rey's story arc comes full circle and I love the background and how it plays into the events that culminated into the final moments of this 9th episode but I also think there were better choices to be made in how early the big reveal comes. In fact, Rey's narrative in this movie is a great microcosm of the entire film. While it definitely works and is nice to see played out it never really builds significant momentum despite having most of the movie to culminate into that epic moment that Return of the Jedi had (and the parallels between the two movies is quite significant when you step back and consider all that happens).

Side note: C3PO's presence in this film is excellently played when the setting allows for it and I truly enjoyed what JJ Abrams and company did with him here.

I'd have to agree with some of the critics on the film as a whole though. The true identity of this movie felt vague. I didn't see a Star Wars that sought to be its own thing in a succession of movies. The Last Jedi definitely tried to do that (though I disagree with what it ultimately did and how that story was told - enough to consider it the worst of the 3 new movies). I would have liked JJ Abrams to take more chances with Rise of Skywalker and set its own tone. At times, it does and the movie really feels exhilarating when that is the case. Other times I would just sort of accept what's going on and try to not be irritated that there are some moments that felt kind of thrown together last-minute instead of being carefully thought out and crafted. Still, none of that broke the movie for me. JJ Abrams definitely saved this trilogy of Star Wars and sends off the main story after 9 episodes with a fond farewell and what I can only assume is meant to be an absolute final movie. I don't expect there to be an Episode 10 (not succeeding the story of these now-9 episodes that is) but I wonder what might come after, if anything. That's another topic of discussion entirely but I like that this story is kind of wrapped up. I didn't enjoy some of the major narrative choices for The Last Jedi and felt the Force Awakens was overly simplistic in its major plot progression and lacked originality, so I had yet to be satisfied with anything from the new lineage of Star Wars movies (though I've enjoyed the spin-offs so far - Rogue One is excellent). That changed with Rise of Skywalker. I wasn't blown away but I am evidently much more satisfied with it than some of the haters that are trashing the User Score. It's a bit of a crowd-pleaser at times but I don't think most people will hate it for that. It could have been better but I don't know how much better it really could have been. A small handful of re-crafted scenes and perhaps a little less "busy work" for the characters which has them all over the place for the ~2.5 hours the movie runs might have gone a long way but, for me anyways, I didn't find the "problems" with the movie to be nearly as dramatic and ruinous as other have made them out to be. I think I really liked it but I know I didn't absolutely love it.… Expand

Much Like Kylo Ren rebuilding his mask in the beginning of the movie, J.J. Abrams pieces together the fragments of his original vision for this trilogy after it was shattered when Rian Johnson was given control over the middle chapter. AndMuch Like Kylo Ren rebuilding his mask in the beginning of the movie, J.J. Abrams pieces together the fragments of his original vision for this trilogy after it was shattered when Rian Johnson was given control over the middle chapter. And like that rebuilt mask it's cool to look at, but the cracks are visible and it isn't the most fulfilling thing to see return.

Largely because it once again feels derivative of the original trilogy. Remember how the final battle in The Force Awakens was basically the same as A New Hope's, only bigger? Well the climatic showdown here closely resembles the one found in Return of the Jedi. Only bigger. The whole film is largely comprised of scenes, moments, and a plot that mirrors those that came before, with a few concessions having been made for the things that happened in The Last Jedi that Abrams obviously didn't plan on.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though. Abrams' film career has largely been defined by nostalgia. Even his only work on the silver screen to not be tied to a preexisting franchise is a throwback to Spielbergian science-fiction thrillers from the '80s. It's all the man has really proven himself capable of offering.

Well, that and exciting setpieces with gorgeous visuals. The action sequences are thrilling and there's a lot of great scenery. The new planets visited are memorable and I loved all the creative new aliens species encountered over the course of the movie that made the former action-figure collector in me drool.

As to why I find Rise of Skywalker's emulative nature so problematic whereas I didn't in The Force Awakens, it really comes down to two reasons. The first being that these young heroes didn't live up to the ones they were intended to follow in the footsteps of. BB-8's presence dropped off after the first film, Finn's most defining character trait was his one-track mind obsession with Rey, and this is the first time Poe actually felt like one of the main three protagonists after largely being sidelined for the majority of this trilogy and being little more than an ornery screw up whenever he was onscreen (why Leia wanted him as the resistance's replacement general I'll never know).

The second being because of The Last Jedi. When Rian Johnson took the reins for that entry this trilogy became the confused brainchild of two people with very different intentions. As a result we are left with an overarching story that feels disjointed and at odds with itself. Rise of Skywalker being the concluding chapter bears the brunt of this conflict and comes up short at establishing cohesion. Instead choosing to ignore its most direct predecessor as much as possible.

All is not lost though. The film has a saving grace in Kylo and Ren. The culmination of their shared journey is sweet even if neither end up in the most satisfying position. Watching them both struggle with the darkness inside them and develop such a unique bond has been incredibly compelling and any moment where they are onscreen together is lightning.

I'm also not going to sit here and act like I didn't find the whole thing entertaining. Abrams packed this with so much spectacle I found it impossible to take my eyes off the screen even if a lot of it felt like déjà vu. That being said I am glad to see this trilogy finally come to an end. Abrams' resurrection of the Skywalker family certainly had its moments and I did have fun, but at the same time I don't see how his story did anything for them that the OT didn't.… Expand

It's just a shame JJ didn't direct and control the direction of the trilogy, as the franchise was almost completely scuttled by TLJ. Thankfully we had the marvelous Rogue One and SOLO movies to see us through. If you haven't seen those by the way, do so now.
Rise of Skywalker manages to undo most of the harm done by the feckless TLJ and would appears to have managed to steer the series into a great climactic ending. It's no use me reviewing the film scene by scene, others have done this, plus, lets face it, many of us feel we own the Star Wars franchise and that's why we're all so passionate about it, so my opinion among so many others means little. Suffice to say, I've seen every Star Wars film on its original release over the last four decades, and still remember seeing the first one at Staines ABC cinema in the UK in 1977. To this day, Star Wars excites me as much now as it did that young boy 42 years ago, and I'm not done with Rise of Skywalker yet. Having already seen it twice since release, I have two more viewings planned with other friends, and one of those will be at the London Waterloo Imax cinema. Rise of Skywalker closes out the nine films series with action, fun and a lot of emotion. Go and see it.… Expand

There aren't any boring periods like in many movies, nor is it overly frenetic. Everything takes about the amount of time it should.

The story makes a number of choices I certainly wouldn't, some of which I disapprove of, but does them reasonably well, and always serves the characters effectively while still having a clear and comprehensible plot.

Both visual and sound effects are very well done, without being overly distracting. I have very few complaints in this area.

Most of the characters are very well acted, and it uses the right number of them. What new characters there are don't ever get in the way, and most of them have pretty great moments. The mainline cast all perform well. The only real issue as far as the cast goes was that Carrie Fisher had an important role to play, and they couldn't really do that with the footage they had on hand. It is very noticeable. They probably should have rewritten the plot to not involve her.

Most importantly, this movie leaves the Star Wars world in a state where there is a lot of potential for more Star Wars to follow after, and at the same time neatly wraps up this story.Unlike The Last Jedi, the world is left in a richer state than it was in when the movie started.… Expand

The film does make the mistake of using incredibly fast pacing and not requiring much sacrifice from the heroes, but a film doesn't need to be perfect to be entertaining. If you can look beyond a few flaws and the influence of nostalgia, you'll enjoy it.… Expand

I don't expect movies to be realistic, of course not. But I do expect the thing happening on screen to at least adhere somewhat to the rules of physics, even though it might be sci-fi.

Many things seemed a bit too convenient throughout the movie. But at the end it still boils down to a satisfying end to the saga, especially after the disappointing The Last Jedi.

I quite liked how they wrapped it all up. Could it have been better? Should it have been different? I have no idea. To me, as a casual Star Wars fan, it felt right and worked quite well.

The fan service moments did tend to be a little too much at times, but most of it was pretty awesome. I didn't mind that they put it in there although much of it seemed unnecessary. The copy-pasting of old scenes was a bit much at times, but at the same time I kind of loved it.

Entertained throughout, great acting, great characters, and Rey was awesome! It felt like a whimper after The Last Jedi, but in this movie she is given the attention and story she deserved. I'm glad this movie exists and I'm happy the saga is now done.

I wouldn't mind more Star Wars movies, but Disney should probably let it rest for a bit now...… Expand

Its not going to be your wildest fantasy or the best thing ever, but its a great send off for friends we've come to love. Its far from perfect but its well above average and I would recommend anyone to see it from casual new fans to old hardcore ones. All the other elements like Audio and Visual's are all amazing per disney's unlimited budget. The fact that people rate this lower than 4/5 given its audio and visuals alone should not write reviews, while story elements can be shakey and 'fun' throughout the story should never be the entire review it should be an element. I personally didnt mind, I consider myself a hardcore fan but I also didnt expect this to be the best movie in the series nor really be able to finish that strong given the place of the series going into it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's amazing movie and great close at Skywalker arc after all. I guess that Disney did the best for the story like the star wars deserved. In fact, the original 3 movies of star wars (a new hope, empire strikes back and return of jedi) was a garbage that growed 'cause the special effects was a big deal at this time.

I was born in '85 and (until the phantom menace, the clone wars and revenge of the sith)star wars was a good movie, nothing special.

Anyway, this final arc was great ending with great actors. If I could remove any thing of this movie I was removs the kilo'n rey kiss scene.… Expand

As always this is a spoiler free review, rest assured there are no plot details but if you are a die-hard Star Wars fan what are you doing reading this? Go see the film.

The Rise of Skywalker is well and truly for the fans, and if you can criticise it for at least one thing it might actually be paying too much fan service. But do I care? No, I was too busy enjoying myself. It’s not perfect but it’s entertaining, emotional and has some show stealing performances. Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver together carried The Rise of Skywalker. I loved absolutely everything about them, the focus is very much on them and this films gives the opportunity to show us just what they're capable of as Rey and Kylo Ren. You also have everything else expected with a Star Wars movie, spectacular visual effects and the iconic John Williams soundtrack. It ties up as many loose ends as it can, it has a real sense of closure and will hit you with a lot of nostalgia. Perhaps J.J. Abrams was being a little overly ambitious with The Rise of Skywalker, the pacing for much of this film wasn’t great if I’m honest. A lot of scenes seemed to be cut short and I found myself wanting a lot more. There is a lot jam-packed into it and certain scenes suffer as a result. This also creates a problem with underused characters along with a huge amount of cameos. I’m not saying I wasn’t on board with this but again it all felt like a desperate attempt to get back on good terms with the angry fans. By giving certain characters little to no screen time but stuffing in an unnecessary amount of cameos felt cheap and honestly wasn't needed. The Force Awakens gave us some much needed new blood to the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi expanded on this and was a lot more ambitious. I was a little disappointed to see The Rise of Skywalker abandon this but I'll just have to get over it. Say what you want about The Last Jedi but it took a lot more risks compared to The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker. They both feel very safe and by the book but in it's defense it kept me entertained. I personally love all three movies in this new trilogy but some people feel completely differently. And then there are some mad bastards who'll defend the dreaded prequels, we all have a preference and by trying too hard to please everyone you may end up pleasing no one. Not everyone is loving it but the only way you'll know for sure is if you see it for yourself.

After the controversial response to Rian Johnson’s take on Star Wars it really feels like J.J Abrams was doing some damage control and trying to win over all those pissed off fans and what is the result? More pissed off fans, no matter what, you can’t please everyone and if you don’t like The Rise of Skywalker, fine. Good for you for having an opinion but don’t attack someone else for liking it. I loved it and many others feel the same. It’s nice to be able to enjoy a Star Wars film because aside from this new trilogy I haven’t enjoyed a Star Wars film since the original movies so yes I enjoyed every minute of The Rise of Skywalker, it puts a nice definitive ending to the story and I’ll no doubt see it again. Highly recommended for all the Star Wars fans.… Expand

The movie has maintained the currentHad a little trouble deciding on the rating for this. The left side of my brain is frustrated with the many plot and structuring issues, but the right side of my brain was absolutely entertained by this.

The movie has maintained the current and original trilogy's legacy of being the definition of a popcorn film. The action is great. The movie looks fantastic, really the most visually impressive of all the Star Wars films.

The cast and characters are again great. I'm glad to see the trio of Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaacs) all together for a substantial stretch of time. The interactions between the three are great. (They could've had more time together.) I also liked the new characters with the exception of the Knights of Ren who despite being first teased in Force Awakens, just don't do enough.

The humor works well. However, I felt even though C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) has been comic relief since the beginning, he was too aggressively jokey. I liked that this continued the last film's theme of hope.

Now for the problems. These three films changed creative control from JJ Abrams to Rian Johnson and back to Abrams without the Disney brass doing enough to pre-plan or control consistency. Abrams did a lot of things I found so maddening that I'm shocked that the producers greenlit them. The major threat in this movie introduced so quickly and with such little plausibility. Reveals and plot elements pop up so arbitrarily that they don't feel natural at all. It's a little like poor fan fiction. Abrams jams way too much story in here in order to arrive at the conclusion he wants. I felt Finn just wasn't given enough room to breathe and was disappointed with how his story ended.

The whole change in directorial voice is exacerbated by the fact that Abrams like Johnson before him is actively resistant in running with what he is given. Abrams does something that is a major slap in the face to his predecessor, which is so mishandled in its execution. It takes you out of the film. Say what you will about the Canto Blight subplot in The Last Jedi, but I liked the character of Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran). I didn't like that they cut her role so short in this not to mention completely axed her set up from the last film as a romantic interest for one of the characters. It's like Abrams decided he didn't like her because he didn't create her and she wasn't in his plans.

J.J. still has his Achilles heel of being too blatantly nostalgic. It isn't half as prevalent as in the Force Awakens, but there are a couple moments where it raises its head and is downright insulting to the audience.

I know I talked way more about the cons and the pros, but it's easier to talk about what doesn't work than what does. When it works, the movie pulled me in and would make forget the problem areas when they weren't around. It still embodies the essence of a Star Wars film. I'd rank this as the weakest of the trilogy but better than Solo and the prequel trilogy. This is one of those films where your opinion could really go either way. I've found both negative and positive criticism of this to be accurate. If you're already uber angry at the first two movies and didn't think or were unsure if you wanted to continue, then you really might not want this. However, if you enjoyed the ride so far, I suggest you take the gamble.… Expand

Ben and Rey's story is brought full circle. Luke and Leia's story is, quite literally, brought full circle, bringing a proper end to the Skywalker lineage. While I don't appreciate all of the creative decisions in The Last Jedi, RoS helps bridge that appreciation for the whole franchise.

Yes there were some inconsistencies and plot holes, but as a long time Star Wars fan, I felt it was familiar, and part of the same tradition. It was also also inspiring and innovative. The way the storyline wraps up adds new depth to already complex and interesting characters and although one particular plot twist left a bitter taste, it was not enough to ruin the experience. The visuals, while still very much blockbuster-like, had more artistic ambition and there were many beautiful shots. Overall I cannot wait to watch it again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the movie cinematically was very breathtaking. Honestly JJ I knew wasn’t going to disappoint when it came to that. But the story line suffered a bit due to its servers degree of fan-service. To be expected at a quiet attempt to save the finalization of the trilogy, TROS seems to bounce all over the screen with new scenes picking up precedent before being able to process the current emotion which overcame us in the movie. If you’re a Star Wars fan you will love the character arcs/developments, as well as the featured characters in the movie. I highly suggest it compared to the weaker 8th installment to the Star Wars movies. A Star Wars fan will be screaming with childhish delight in the theatre.… Expand

I’m giving this a 10 mainly because of the toxic fandom around Star Wars. By no means is this movie a 10 or a 0; It’s more like a 6 or 7.

By no means is this movie a 10 or a 0; It’s more like a 6 or 7. Yes, the overall story could have been tighter but that comes from a lack of storyboarding and Ryan Johnson writing the final movie into a corner. I absolutely loved The Last Jedi and what it tried to do, but honestly, where do you go from there? Yes, Ray Is a Mary Sue. She wears her plot armor hard, but it makes since because as the darkness rises, the light rises to meet it. If Kylo, Snoke, and the Emperor are all still kicking around then it would make since that the light, Ray, rises to meet it. There it always balance in the force, unlike the fandom. Going forward, can we all start acting like adults when discussing our space wizard movies.… Expand

I loved the movie so much! I'm glad they pandered to the fans wishes. Critics have an agenda, didn't see what they had hoped it would be so bashed the film. Very clear on that front.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a life-long Star Wars fan of both the Prequels and Original Trilogy this movie delivers an experience unlike any other I’ve seen. The amount of twists and turns is almost too much to absorb in one viewing, but this expansive journey adds so much to the lore and heart of the saga. Not a perfect film by any means, but it’s answers for previous questions, spectacular battles, and overall wow factor really hit at home. The late Carrie Fisher also gets the send off she deserves in this film and I have to say I was holding the tears back. If you’re a Star Wars fan what are you waiting for? Go see it!… Expand

Some criticisms of the pacing of the first 1/4 of the film are valid, but it is a Star Wars nerd's dream. Bottom line: entertaining and definite servicing for the hardcore fans.
