And The CGI was pretty good & the action fighting scenes were alright.

The rest was a complete disaster. The pacing of the movie was so extremely fast that you couldn't keep up with it. Every scene felt like 1-2 minutes long. Every "emotional" moment was swept away by dumb illogical scenarios, so many "WTF!" moments (in a bad way), and the movie kept adding new characters when this should be about the final moments of the characters we already knew. Had low expectations going in and felt even more disappointed...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so where to begin? It’s revealed that Luke and Lando knew about Palpatine and the hidden Sith planet and set about trying to find it, but didn't tell anyone else, including their good pals Han and Chewie, yep ok. They came quite close to finding the pyramid thing to show them the way to the hidden planet, so close that Luke wrote it down in some Jedi journal, but, did not share this information with his sister Leia, who was still the leader of the resistance, and was also a Jedi trained by Luke, ok makes total sense so far. Then for some reason Luke goes in hiding on a remote planet. when Rey the new hope arrives and he trains her he again fails to tell Rey the bigger picture, yep perfect. But on the other side, Palpatine creates a super force out of basically nothing for um "reasons" and waits in the shadows for the final order, waiting for the sake of just waiting (he executes the final order before Rey arrives, so he wasn’t waiting for her). This is all kept a secret from Kylo because Palpatine wants to use him to lure Rey somehow so he can pursuade her, his granddaughter its revealed (uh huh yep) to kill him so that….....meh seriously I cannot even finish this plot review, it is such a disservice to the original trilogy, prequels, and even to episodes 7 & 8. Basically the whole prequel build up of Anakin/Vader to the eventual redemption/sacrifice of Vader/Anakin meant nothing because Palpatine miraculously lived anyway.

This is what happens when you make up crap as you go. Do us all a favor Disney and admit your mistakes and start again with a well thought out plot that makes sense for all 9 movies, with George Lucas’s input. It gets 2 points for the little alien dude.

BTW if force healing or whatever it’s called is a thing....why didn't Luke just put his hands on Anakin at the end of Episode 6 and um heal him, like Rey did to Kylo??… Expand

Thanks toReview Title - The movie that should've been a 6 to 8 45 minute episodes mini series. No spoilers - went to see the epic conclusion last night, had high hopes after seeing how Disney wrapped up the Avengers, but boy was I wrong. Thanks to EP8, EP9 never had a chance to properly tell it's own story, but try to mostly course correct where they wanted to have the story, and not tell a story that evolved out of EP8. Since the very start of the movie, the action, the dialogue, the interactions and even actors emotions needed to be rushed or dulled just to get to the next thing. Small things that are totally blown out of proportions and in the end don't matter at all or don't even impact the story midway movie on. It is quite very apparent that there have been reshoots done, as the final result is basically just pieced together out of these small sections only to advance the story. It feels more like a entire season of a series (like the Mandalorian) just pieced together and call it a movie. Breaking down the entire plot scene by scene would have yielded overall a better series with the same story, leaving maybe more time for tensions and emotions to really take over; have a true impact made by some decisions in the movie, as some don't even matter 2 scenes later. As it is right now, action packed, dull, rushed and predictable character development in a single movie, lack of impact on half of the decisions everyone makes, and a somewhat unpleasant wrap up makes this movie the "I should have been a short mini series or 2 part movie to begin with".… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I even start with this mess of a movie? It's like JJ Abrams had no idea what he was doing when he came back to finish this trilogy. You can tell he never though he would have to explain most of the things he left dangling in The Force Awakens. I'll try to break this film down as best I can:

STORY

The film picks up about a year after The Last Jedi. The resistance has seemingly regrouped somehow, Kylo Ren leads the First Order and Palpatine is somehow back (No explanation is ever given for this). The entire film plays out like it was adapted from a screenplay written by a kid with ADHD. The first 1/3 of the movie zooms past at a breakneck pace that hardly allows the audience to digest anything that is happening. So many things happen in this film that you could argue it should have been two movies. The so-called emotional moments aren't even real. As soon as something happens to any of our beloved characters, it is immediately reversed. C-3PO loses his memory and gets it right back, Chewie dies! but turns out he didn't since he was on a different ship, Kylo Ren is impaled by Mary Sue, I mean Rey but is immediately healed by her. There are no stakes in this film. Nothing holds any emotional siginificance. This film is a giant middle finger to Rian Johnson and "The Last Jedi" since 1/2 the movie spends its time retconning most of the decision made in the last film. It contains numerous plot holes that are far too expansive to list. By the time you get to the end you are wondering what the hell just happened. This movie is basically a poor carbon coby of Return of the Jedi. CHARACTERS

- Rey is a Mary Sue Force GOD that shows a level of force ability we have never seen before with no explanation given as to how she has such incredible power. Being the emperor's granddaughter is such a cheap cop out and lame excuse to justify her raw force strength. She beats Kylo Ren (just like she has done in the last two movies) and destroys the emperor with little difficulty. Even Yoda had problems beating him and he was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and the most powerful Jedi we had ever seen. - Finn is just there. They ran out of things for him to do after the first movie. The Casino plot line from the last movie proved that. The only thing he has ever been consistent at is running around screaminig out people's names for no reason. Oh and apparently he is force sensitive?

- Poe seems to be thrust into a leadership role that is unprepared for after the death of Leia and he does his best. They make a mind boggling narrative decision to retcon his backstory and make him a former spice runner just like Han Solo (insert eyeroll). Of the trio of new heroes, he is probably the most likeable and that isn't saying much

- Kylo Ren has been the best new character of this trilogy by far. He steals every scene he is in. It's a shame they killed him off in a sad attempt to recreate the Vader sacrifice from ROTJ. His redemption arc was the only good thing in this whole trilogy

-Leia doesn't do much in this film which is to be expected with the passing of Carrie Fisher. Some of her scenes feel a bit awkward since it is cleared they were edited in from another film. All her scenes feature dialogue from other actors that clearly had to be reworked to include her. -Luke being in this movie is just fan service at it's finest. He exists soley to undone what was done to him in the last film.

-Palpatine as the big bad who orhcestrated everything feels so cheap and rushed. He does nothing and then dies in the most ludicrous way possible. - Everyone Else: Lando is typical Lando, that's about as good as we could expect. Zori Bliss was a totally unneccessary addition as was Jannah. Neither served any true purpose in the story and their roles could have been filled by anyone. Bamboo Frick and D-O are simply a merchandising opportunities.

PLOT HOLES

- Rey can Force Heal ANYTHING. Despite this power having never been shown before she is somehow extrememly proficient at it. - Despite spending nearly her entire life on a desert planet, she somehow knows how to sail through waves that even an experienced sailors would have trouble navigating.
- The Knights of Ren (who don't do anything in this movie) seem to be right on top of our heroes in multiple scenes but never make any attempt to capture them
- The Force skype ability apparently allows characters to transfer solid objects (i.e. Lightsabers) seemingly making space travel irrelevant.
- Palpatine is destroyed via his own Force Lightning due to Rey using dual lightsabers to block? Makes no sense
- Palpatine created & cloned Snoke. From what? From Who?
- Lightspeed Skipping. Completely disregards everything that was already established about interstellar travel. Ships shouldn't be able to jump to hyperspace if they are too close to a gravity well such as a planet. This was established in the OT. - Where the hell did Lando get that fleet?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie has many flaws that plenty of Youtube reviews will mention in great detail. But the biggest reason I can't stand this movie is because it undoes Lucas's Star Wars Saga. ***SPOILERS***

They make Rey the chosen one and undo everything that came before. Anakin is not in this movie and if there's no Anakin then there was no chosen one. I do not buy Rey being the chosen one. Nor do I accept the fact that she identifies as a Skywalker. This movie is a mess, a disgrace and a total disappointment. This Disney Trilogy is not canon in my eyes.

I'll give it a 2 because it's not as painful to watch as TLJ is but it's not a better film by any means.… Expand

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

Rewievers and people that gives this 10/10 are payed to do so, or does not have any demands at all what a Star Wars movie should be. Just write Star Wars in the title, cram it full of sad scenes, and it recieves top score. That is insane!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [SPOILERS] Dear #Disney, I've never before felt like leaving the cinema whilst watching #StarWars. You've almost succeeded in that accomplishment, but I guess you couldn't even pull that off. I am not a fanboy, but that was the worst film in the series by a long shot (episode 1 was much better). I couldn't find a single line of good dialogue as they just all repeated what was happening (it was clearly written by two 10 year olds and coked-up @jjabramsofficial.) I beg you Mr Abrahams quit directing as you are clearly unable to produce any original content nor anything that even resembles good story telling. The film felt like three films mashed into one with an oversized hammer, there were tons of boring unrelatable characters who I couldn't care less about, and no single setting lasted for more than 30 seconds as Abrahams abused Disney's travel budget. The constant jumps between countless places clearly showed JJ cannot do any sort of story telling that captures cinema goers attention. Mate, more is not better - did they not teach you that in film school or did you skive off? Moreover, @harrisonford_official_page how much did they pay you again or was your appearance part of the original 30 million jackpot? The bad grandpa twist, crippled Palp, was absurd just as his demise (again, cooked himself up - don't play with electricity man). Also, the lightsabers.. Oh dear, I believe I could do better with a sword if I had two broken arms. The only character not to make a splash on the screen was Jar Jar as he would probably produce better acting and dialogue than these bunch of sorry arse actors - careers over even before they had begun. Trash. Just trash. Oh, yep that's a photo of light cavalry charge atop a fleet of star destroyers... the whole film is brain dead and logic could not be found in any of the 20 planets Abrahams shoved into it. On the plus size there's a new robot which will top the bull**it toy list this year and it looks like a @dyson blowdrier. The best thing about the film was the popcorn. 2.5/10.… Expand

Il est temps pour Disney de repartir sur des bases "neuves" pour les prochaines... euh... trilogies...

Personnellement, j'en ai un peu marre de revoir les vieilles gloires faire un petit coucou dans des scénarios bricolés par des stagiaires... il s'y ridiculisent pour la gamelle et font penser à... "comment c'était mieux avant" en fait.

Parce que à propos de grand n'importe quoi, cet "épisode 9", c'est vraiment n'importe quoi de A à Z ! des affaires de famille comme ça, non mais sans déconner ! qui a pondu des énormités pareilles... vous avez poussé trop fort sur le trône, je crois, la veine au front ! et il n'en est sorti rien de bon...

L'autre gros souci (inhérent à cette trilogie entière d'ailleurs) c'est à la fois les erreurs de distribution et les erreurs d'écriture de ces personnages : le soldat renégat incarné par le tocard Boyega (parce qu'il fallait un noir) ; l'abruti de pilote général (lol ?) incarné par l'abruti Isaac (parce qu'il fallait un hispanique) et enfin la tronche d'andouille de frérot en carton incarné par Driver (parce qu'il fallait -au moins- un blanc mais à tronche de cake).

Finalement, seule Rey (la petite Daisy Ridley) s'en sort avec plus que les honneurs, surtout dans cet épisode final où elle affirme des sentiments forts voire brutaux... mais étouffés fatalement par la doctrine Disniaise et le "grand final" qui deveait tout clôturer en beauté n'est qu'un pétard mouillé !

Les 2 points vont donc à Daisy et... à un certain revenant... c'est tellement ridicule que ça m'a bien fait rigoler, du coup ! comment ont-ils pu valider le retour de ce "personnage" ?... alors là c'est un mystère ! encore un stagiaire qui passait par là, ramasser les gobelets et les mégots, je suppose.… Expand

JJ attempted to patch all the plot holes left by Rian Johnson by rushing a carbon copy of Return of the Jedi with enhanced effects and failed.

KK attempted to appease blue checkmarks wth forced diversity, 3rd wave feminism, and garbage politics... She has failed to learn that they can never be satisfied and will hopefully lose her job soon.

This movie attempts to lure in loyal star wars fans with abundant fan service so the little mouse can count his enormous amount of revenue. (Huh huh) *mickey mouse laugh*

The cinematography and soundtrack are the highlights and are my justification for 2/10. It should really be 1/10 because the soundtrack has been the same since A New Hope, but I also give JJ credit for even having the guts to attempt following up Rian Johnson's abortion.

Rey is a God and shall not be defeated, she is the best, nothing comes close, she knows everything, wins everything, knows all the tricks and abilities without training, she is a real HERo and in no way a Mary Sue, and you're a misogynist if you disagree with this sentiment.

- Unoriginal plot
- Undoes the original trilogy
- Terrible acting across the board
- Rushed production
- Pacing is all over the place
- Awful characters
- Abused fan service
- Pandering and politics
- Incompetent writing across the trilogy
- Murdered a once great franchise
- Literally no explanation for anything that transpired in this film... oooo mystery box JJ at it again.

Overall, The Force is Female, Rey is Space Jesus, and I give this 2 porgs on a stick out of 10.

I am going to write a sequel to The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. And my sequel, the first new film it's going to happen after the events of The Lord of the Rings. And in my trilogy the first one is going to be called The Ring Awakens, the second one is going to be called That Last Ring Bearer and then the third and final film is going to be called The Rise of the King.

And in my film, this is the really important bit, Sauron never died. They never destroyed him. The Fellowship was not successful. They failed.'

Because that's exactly what they've done here with the Star Wars mythology. So they failed to destroy Sauron. Sauron's back, he's been waiting in hiding the whole time. Don't ask me how this makes any sense, it just does. And there's another villain in the meantime who's cropped up, we'll call him Snauron. And Snauron is actually a puppet of Sauron. And again, don't ask how any of this makes sense. It just does, ok it just does? Trust me.

And that's my new Lord of the Rings trilogy and I'm carrying on the story. Everyone would say, 'no you're not, you're butchering the original creation, you're undermining, you're attacking, actively attacking the mythology. And you are doing a great disservice to someone else's creative efforts.'"… 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

To be honest, if you look at it as a blockbuster as any others, it is decent (it would deserve a 5-6). The movie is beautiful with some nice pictures, there are a lot of events, too much for me, you don t have the time to be bored. So if youTo be honest, if you look at it as a blockbuster as any others, it is decent (it would deserve a 5-6). The movie is beautiful with some nice pictures, there are a lot of events, too much for me, you don t have the time to be bored. So if you are not a huge fan of Star Wars and if you quite enjoyed the last two movies, you will like this one.
But now, I consider mysel as an hardcore fan: I love the first 6 films, and for me the original trilogy and the prelogy are on an equal footing. I didn't like episode VII and even if I don't agree with many things in the VIII, TLJ has taken some risks (like the episodes I - II - III). But this episode IX is by far the worst star wars movie ever.
There are many reasons to that: - The Force is used in new ways that turn Luke, Anakin or Obi-Wan like padawans. The saddest thing is that they could use it to make something impressive, like an amazing lightsaber fight like in the III. But no, it is only to simplify the movie and to make it go faster. - Talking about lightsaber fights, there are neither interesting nor impressive at all. - Personnally, I didn't enter in the story: they are just looking for items to unlock another item to reach some place. Wouah! - The characters are still bad, even if Poe is better depicted in this one. I was quite impressed on how they add Leia in the movie, even if it feels forced, it was ok for me. New characters are totally useless. - The music is ok at least but there is no new theme that stroke me. - Most of the question are answered but the issue is that new ones arrived with the revelations. And the answers detroys litterally everything in the story of Star Wars. In the end, I felt like I saw a fan film where Disney put many ideas to please the fans.But this is not the way to do it: I wanted something brand new. Episode VIII is the only one which can could be qualified as a new star wars movie in this trilogy. If you liked it, good for you. I will try with the time to appreciate it but it was so painfull for me to watch this movie. I hope that the next ones will be better...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mild Spoilers involved: Just not a very good movie in general. I agree with many of the critics for once, the powers that be seemed to concentrate more on clicking boxes, and making Rey the savior of, well, everything and everyone, rather than tell a good story. The one good element was that the acting was superb for the most part. They just did not have much to work with. It was beyond predictable, and half way through I was just ready for Rey to kill 'you know who' already, so I could be done. The interesting and exceedingly frustrating miss is that the story screamed for a huge twist that would have really cemented a lasting legacy for the franchise. In the almost year leading up to the premiere, there were minor hints of a possibility that Rey could fall to the Dark Side at some point. Though as more trailers revealed this was probably not going to happen, it would have made for a great plot choice, with endless possibilities. (1) Rey falls, Kylo is redeemed and must stop her. (2) Rey falls and Finn becomes a Jedi to stop her, perhaps with Kylo. (3) Even Rey falls, but is ultimately redeemed . Any of these options and more would have really opened up the story more. It also would have solved another glaring problem with the trilogy as a whole. I like most everyone, thought the prequels were pretty bad, but I believe this was more due to poor acting than anyone cares to admit. But what I loved about “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith” was the multiple Jedi, and to a certain extent Sith, we were able to witness. This was something even the original trilogy did not have, though I will admit, those movies were certainly fine cinema at its best on their own. In any case it would have been great to see more than just Rey and Kylo in every movie. Luke, Leia, and the Emperor had mere moments of battle, plus they were all known characters, and old by this time. It would have been great to see Finn explore his abilities, Snook not dispatched so quickly and in action, and perhaps a couple of others. I was genuinely tired of the Rey/Kylo fight, love, whatever, before the last movie even started. O.K. my rant is done, maybe we’ll get this and more in the next trilogy…… Expand

Retrospectively, I guess The Last Jedi didn't leave a lot of open threads hanging for the last movie to tie up, but holy sh*t, there had to be a better way to conclude the most beloved movie franchise of all time than this.

The amount of retconning going on from the very first second of the film is INCREDIBLE, deserving probably of a Guiness World Record. Apparently, lots and lots of things have been happening off-screen, in secret, while nobody was looking, for years and decades. There are now also officially no limits anymore to what the force can or cannot enable you to do, it all depends on what is convenient for the plot in that very moment.

The pacing is totally off. In the first hour, your head will be spinning from everything that is happening and getting explained to you and you will already feel like you're approaching a finale at the 60 min mark, then the movie goes on for 90 mins more.

The writing is simply atrocious. Stupid, cliché-laden one liners are found a-plenty and some conflicts between characters are just conjured up out of thin air because the movie needs some tension and would be boring otherwise. Instead of finding a way to get us to care about the motivations of the main characters we've been following for the entire trilogy, more unnecessary side characters are introduced that serve no real purpose. The plot is extremely predictable and formulaic and the whole affair feels like a giant check-list of things that have to happen, characters that have to appear one more time, call-backs that have to be made, because, you know, this is THE LAST ONE!!! Which I kind of get, but all these things are done in such a heavy-handed and uninspired way that it just makes you roll your eyes. The whole experience feels very much like "watching a movie", which is to say, inorganic and not immersive. You as the viewer are constantly aware that everything that happens and is said doesn't arise naturally out of the given circumstances and the characters and their personalities and motivations, but only takes place to fulfill a certain purpose for the plot. I don't know if it is possible to come down much harder on a film's writing than this.

"this is THE LAST ONE!!!"
Except, now that I think about it, it probably isn't the last one at all, because Disney is going to keep milking this cash cow until there's absolutely no more milk left in its udders and it collapses on the floor from pure exhaustion. And then some more.

Conclusion: Please don't waste your money by seeing this in the theater. Even if you're a hardcore Star Wars fan, it'll just break your heart. If I hadn't seen Rambo: Last Blood, this would be my worst movie of the year. 2 points are for the incredible CGI, John Williams' music, and actors that try to make the most of what they've been handed (which isn't much).… Expand

It had so much potential but instead the movie was build around some unsued clips of Episode 8. Episode 9 is full of cheap tricks. Everything happens suddenly like in a bad fan fiction. Why do we need Han Solo to turn Kylo to the good side? Why are Kylo and Rey kissing? There is no build up, it simply happens. When Vader turned to the good side it was done by great cinematography (seeing Luke being torturedby the emperor etc.). It would be better if Rey was simply a no-one with Jedi forces.

No amount of over-production including decent acting can compensate for a poorly written story.
Great story can be compelling with animated lego bricks or stick figures - it just does not work the other way.

2. Too much cramped into a single movie
No amount of plot lines cramped into a two hours plus can compensate for the fact that you just do not care about any of its characters or ridiculous plot lines. The Star Wars Finale had to deal with so many characters and plot lines' loose ends that it was a genuine mission impossible (no pun intended) to make something meaningful out of it. Starting with Lucas who started the self-destruction of Star Wars with his own prequels, so hired guns can't really 'fix' the unfixable here, to be fair to JJ. This is like a full season TV show summary in two hours with time enough only for key scenes but not enough for character and plot build up and pacing necessary to build and tell the story well. 3. "All I Want Is a Story. If You Have a Message, Send It by Western Union" - old Hollywood adage
In a time when movies are conceived and censored at the same time to appease repressive regimes around the world any righteousness on part of the Production that western version of the film can tick all the boxes of inclusivity and social righteousness for the western world while adding similar amount of tick boxes for the other parts of the world is just nonsense. From the main character being female, to ensemble cast and some of the sidekicks and subtle or not so subtle plot sidetracks and background action. None of it matters if it is not progressing the main story and if it is a cheap add-on. Disney or producers individually are wealthy enough to make donations to whatever the cause they wish on their own time and money. Nothing wrong to be engaged with the issues of the day -- but you have to realise that you need to put your neck on the line, all the way, and not just buy few cheap message badges and put them on your collar. Few thoughts left on the 'cutting floor'....

Logic has left the building here and I don't mean the trivial details but core fabric of the story that is effectively a Frankenstein monster made out of patches and leftovers of earlier unfinished threads and burden of 'legacy'.

The deus ex machina gets invoked so many times that it is comical (as it is the case of earlier installments of sequel trilogy) -- anything goes and anything can happen and if not on screen it can be explained away in some stupid explanatory dialogue and therefore you don't care and mostly try to enjoy a parade of well produced visual sequences that more-less mean not a thing. You cannot just explain away your back story, or characters motivations in an expositional dialogue or characters self-reflection -- this is the tool for cheap TV. We expect better from so called A-list productions. Hence don't hire a cheap TV writers-directors who seem to know how to manipulate (cheap) cliff-hangers but do not master the art of story.

Emotions in this movie seem almost artifically induced by the overblown cues of music and production and not the storyline you care about. Sort of like a laugh track in TV comedies -- sometimes it saves a mediocre joke. It has to be said that beside original trilogy (parts 4-6) things went really bad for Star Wars long, long time ago...
The reboot is just following legacy of Lucas prequels with too much plot and exposition somehow substituting for lack of basic compelling story. It is somehow as Lucas (and everyone else) forgot that at its core Star Wars were based on Campbell theory of hero's journey - a simple (maybe simplistic) story of good and evil and hero's journey of self discovery.

Lucas genius was to imagine this in the backdrop of groundbreaking, never before seen visual and production effects that blew everyone away. However the storyline was solid in its simplicity. It did not contain any of the clutter of the universe building or sidekick characters that were a dead weight to progression of the main story.
Lucas attempted to do that in prequels - and failed.

Fast forward to today, the effects and production moved on in such ways that anything can be visualised in pixel perfect quality. Anything but a badly written story -- no amount of wizardry in production can make uninteresting characters alive, confusing and meaningless plot lines interesting to watch. It is funny how the very expensive CGI that is basically expected and can be achieved through high enough budget to pay for all the high tech necesary while no amount of money can guarantee a well crafted story which is as low tech as pen and paper. Bottom line -- not worth a movie ticket. Looking forward to start anew with someone graduating from Pixar.… Expand

This movie would have been legitimately better if no other Star Wars movie existed. The plot holes in The Rise of Skywalker undermines not only it's own plot, but it undermines previous Star Wars movies. The acting is decent, there are some aesthetically cool environments, but the writing and plot holes are just terrifically bad. There are a few cool moments within this movie, but they are overshadowed by the terrible plot holes/devices this movie uses to reach its conclusion. It feels like J.J. Abrams just wanted to finish this trilogy, and slapped whatever he could together to finish the final movie.… Expand

The pacing is simply disastrous, the "fetch quest" plot is miserable to behold and Palpatine returning (why?) completely ruins Vader's redemption in ROTJ.

This was a trilogy of content packed into a single movie and, whilst I have my issues with TLJ, it just felt cheap for JJ to try and undo everything that happened in the previous movie.

The so-called "Skywalker Saga" does not go out with a bang, but a whimper.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't have high expectations going into this movie, but even those couldn't be met. This film is a total mess. It feels like two movies crammed into one and the overall plot has the quality of a mediocre fanfic. Once again the whole movie is full of distracting conveniences, characters that apparently have read the script and "nostalgia baiting". It would be one thing if it was bad on it's own, but they also had to lessen the original trilogy by bringing Palpatine back for this nonsense... To make it short: Nice visuals devoid of any 'real' substance.… Expand

I couldn't care much for the new characters introduced in a finale. The regression of story arcs for characters like Finn and Poe. Tropes that open a little under a dozen plot holes. Pace was far too fast. 3 hours with half as much content but more respect for previous material would have been enough room to wrap things up. The exceptional effort by the acting and visual design crew is the only thing keeping this review from 1 star. The script writers need to watch some Star Wars before putting pen to paper… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie should be Titled the fall of Skywalker. The last skywalker dies. Their legacy is taken over by a Palpatine. Palpatine won. He destroyed every Skywalker and replaced them. That's the saddest possible end to the saga and the movie makes it seem like a hopeful and joyful end. Aside from that the movie rushes important parts of the story. The fifteen first minutes are just an awful montage without any logic between the scenes, the force can now carry objects accross space and time, how convenient ! There's no inner conflict in Ben/Kylo before he comes back to the light. This movie could have been so much better and it shatters my heart.… Expand

The whole movie was incredibly rushed through, no explanations for anything including rey’s force powers or training, we got a small look into leia’s jedi history and instead of going with legends we go with a “nah just not feeling it” backstory? This movie could have been done a lot better had it just taken the time to end it with a true rise of a skywalker, not the rise of some Mary Sue that doesn’t have any real training… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My beef with the new trilogy is that the directors/writers never sat down together to outline the stories so they would all connect. This seriously hurt this trilogy and it really shows in this movie. Within the first 15 minutes we have an entirely new plot line, which takes a good hour to unpack. There’s explanation upon explanation, even characters thoughts are explained by other characters. At the end of the day this movie is a collage of non stop action sequences. Like an extended trailer that never allows us to really connect with the characters. Rey and Ren have been the most interesting in these movies, but unfortunately their arcs feel rushed robbing the audience of emotional connection and lessening the impact of the grand finale. Normally I see each new Star Wars movie 2-3 times in theaters. Once was enough for this one.… Expand

Remember when they jumped into hyperspace andA movie that will lose you within the first 10 minutes.
Remember when Leia was blown into space? And she came back in, and the audience' collectively tuned out, in a flurry of disappointment.

Remember when they jumped into hyperspace and destroyed the ship? And while that looked cool... that isnt how the series worked. You cant just introduce 'fuel' and hyperspace suicide runs like that!

Needless to say, the first 10 minutes includes one of those kinds of ... 'franchise ruiner' scenes. Within the next 3 minutes you will see the other one. Not even 15 minutes in, and we are staring down two facepalm scenes and the action is REALLY badly paced. Jumping.. literally.. from scene to scene, within the scene, within space, within the story. Just too fast, too much to take in. Too much happening ~ and THERE ISNT EVEN ANYTHING HAPPENING!
We get a terrible space battle, a terrible confrontation and a heavy-handed training montage.

Now all of these things aside, it can be forgiven because it was expected.
Is it the SW that you know and love? No. Is it a modern day masterpiece? No.
Is it a lot of fan service, a lot of pandering to new audiences and an action fest? Yes.
That is.. very expected, and that is okay.

What is NOT okay is that it feels like work to watch this. You dont go into this with a sensee of awe, you watch it because you feel like you have to. You know what else felt like work? Avengers endgame. But it overcomes that and entertains within the first 5 minutes.

As a series finale, I highly recommend you wait until its available at home. I feel like if I could pause this, walk away, sigh and drink a beer.. it might be better paced than being forced to watch this as a whole. One sitting is too much.… Expand

However, the latest installment, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," falls far short ofThe Star Wars franchise has been a beloved cultural icon for decades, with its epic space battles, iconic characters, and timeless storytelling. However, the latest installment, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," falls far short of expectations and fails to capture the magic of the previous films.

The film's plot is convoluted and disjointed, with unnecessary subplots that add little to the overall story. The pacing is uneven, with action sequences that feel rushed and dialogue scenes that drag on for far too long. The film tries to cram in too many characters and storylines, leaving many of them underdeveloped and ultimately unsatisfying.

Moreover, the film's attempts at fan service are heavy-handed and feel forced, with callbacks to previous films that feel out of place and unnecessary. The film also fails to deliver on its promise of a satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga, with a resolution that feels rushed and unsatisfying.

Additionally, the performances of the cast, including franchise veterans like Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, feel wooden and uninspired, with little chemistry between characters. Even the iconic score by composer John Williams fails to capture the excitement and wonder of the previous films.

Overall, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is a disappointing conclusion to a beloved franchise, failing to deliver on its promise of a satisfying conclusion and feeling like a cheap imitation of the previous films. Fans of the series are better off revisiting the original trilogy than wasting their time with this lackluster installment.… Expand
