JJ Abrams tells a story that is truly Shakespearean at its roots. The Rise of Skywalker is "a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing."

Very well crafted with constant action that keeps the audience engaged throughout the film. JJ Abrams does try to sway the story but in a way that the future audience will not be affected by. It brings a fitting end to the Skywalker saga.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This trilogy has done nothing but character assassinate the heroes from Episodss 1-6, made all those movies meaningless, and replaced The Chosen One (Anakin) with Rey. Rey is a video game character with stats maxed out that simply downloads new powers from the Force when needed. No character development nor arc. She just overpowers everyone.… Expand

did in the original trilogy and everything the
prequel trilogy tried to show no longer matter.
This movie could have been good and it had
potential, but any it had was quickly wasted, as within the first 30 minutes, it became apparent that this movie was going to spend a long time retconning what happened in Ep 8.

Trying to please everyone with fan-service, it
appears that JJ Abrams forgot that he was
directing a movie.… Expand

There is a really good story just under all this but the pacing is off, and they throw so much information at you that you are trying to keep up. In the end it feels like they relied on fan service than a proper ending. I wish George Lucas had remained on board to write this trilogy. Anything you might say about the prequels or his dialogue, he combined each movie so it at least made sense. This was the capstone of there being no clear direction from Episode 7, no unified story. No story that made sense. And that's heartbreaking. Abrams put his unfortunate twist on episode 7 which had a domino effect of creating new mysteries instead of telling the story of what happened between all those years. And that mess ended here. Now you might be asking, why don't I at least give this a mixed review, because i obviously like some things. Because the use of strobe lights mean certain fans can't watch it. And no one should be denied the chance to watch it over a visual effect.… Expand

I liked it and that's saying a lot, considering how much I disliked TLJ.
It wasn't perfect but we knew JJ couldn't completely fix Johnson's mess is under 3 hours.
Now, you can almost watch VII and IX and skip VIII without missing much.

I went to the theater with low expectations. To me, no director could stick the landing with such high stakes. Somehow though, both my friends and I left the theater satisfied. Abrams had a choice between upending norms to please criticsI went to the theater with low expectations. To me, no director could stick the landing with such high stakes. Somehow though, both my friends and I left the theater satisfied. Abrams had a choice between upending norms to please critics (muddling the clarity that a nine-film saga desperately needs) and pleasing fans with a solid film. I've read reviews calling this "fan-service," but how can this be a bad thing when the support of fans is what has made Star Wars financially and artistically independent from Hollywood for decades. Another criticism sure to surface is calling Rise of Skywalker "predictable" or "lacking in imagination." First, I outright dispute the claim of lack in imagination, since I don't think anyone could have predicted where parts of the film went in terms of special effects and Star Wars lore. The second concern - predictability - is somewhat more valid. However, my question is: what else could you expect from Star Wars? From the start, George Lucas' goal in Star Wars was to distill the common threads of every human mythology into a universal and optimistic space opera. That universality is the cause of Star Wars' worldwide success. Think Rise of Skywalker was predictable? Operas are predictable. Get over it. Now, if we can all respect a style of story telling that has existed as long as humans can remember, we can appreciate the film for its actual content. Instead of focusing on conventional plot like community college art professors stuck in the modernist era, we can see that Rise of Skywalker has nuanced themes of morality and historicism. The most obvious theme is a historicist analysis of how tradition intersects with action. With the prequels ending in the Revenge of the Sith and the original trilogy ending in the Return of the Jedi, it is clear that the Rise of Skywalker is a statement on how to proceed into the future. Essentially, the saga functions as a Hegelian dialectic. The conflict between the Jedi and Sith produces a synthesis: the rise of skywalker (purposefully lowercase). The Rise of Skywalker proposes that we can respect and receive support from our past (a respect clearly not understood by critics chiding Abrams for lack of originality), but create new traditions and ways of thinking. Behind this simple moral truth that will be grasped even by the children in the audience (the true audience of Star Wars from day one if critics could ever remember the innocence of childhood), is a complicated and self-reflexive postmodern masterpiece that tells us that, despite the fact that the democratization of art has necessitated its simplification to its most universal form, meaningful new ideas can be produced. In lighter matters, I felt that, despite being an all-consuming finale, Rise of Skywalker still managed to be the funniest of the sequels. It helped that Abrams avoided the forced gags that made Last Jedi nearly unwatchable. Moments like Ren's 4th wall breaking "ow" seemed to reach a little toward the humorous self awareness that my generation actually appreciates. Babu Frik might be my favorite part of the movie.… Expand

Why is Star Wars still a thing? The loss of a single creative direction has led to an inconsistent series that makes no sense when closely scrutinized. Let the past die and come up with a new IP instead of kicking the dead horse.

Summary: Episode 3 with a good director, producer, and writer. The good:

- People actually die.
- It tied together 8 episodes of problems quiet nicely.
- It had great fight scenes that didn't have to result to lightsaber porn.

The bad:

- The first act was very, very rushed.
- The Rey reveal felt a little convoluted when they tried to explain too much (let the fanboys get details from the comics). - Some of the aesthetics and scenes felt prequel-ish.… Expand

The reality isThese reviews really show how metacritic is a joke. On the one hand you have people giving this a 2/10 (it's not nearly that bad). On the otherhand you have people giving this a 10 and pretending like this is a masterpiece.

The reality is that JJ had to fix everything that went wrong with the Last Jedi, please Disney, address any issues or plot points remaining from the first two movies, be consistent with current canon, keep the movie entertaining, and make a 2.5 hr long movie. Since he had to do all these things this movie was never going to be any good. In the end we are left with a movie that suffers from pacing issues, throws so many different characters at you that it's difficult to keep track of them all, jams in connections to possible later movies, throws in the old timers for good measure, and doesn't end the trilogy in a meaningful enough way. Credit to Adam Driver however. In the last hour he says only one word and yet from his performance you wouldn't even realize this.

In the end as a standalone movie it is entertaining enough. As part of a trilogy however its not able to make up for the problems that its predecessor introduced. No single movie frankly could.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film reads like a fanfiction, Disney should have saved their money and published the script under a false name. Terrible lines and poor acting from the characters; too many characters in rushed scene transitions that left little time for the audience to feel relief. The film rewrites the ‘Last Jedi’ reveals and introduces the ridiculous concept of Rey being a Palpatine- a stupid line repeated too many times. Hollywood must think we’re idiots to be satisfied with some wholesome experience that’ll restore the lacklustre profits that they’re currently receiving. The more subtable title would be: “the last piece of amateur writing Hollywood produces to rape Star Wars”, at least for 2020.… 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

The story of light and dark coalescing into one and snuffing out true evil once and for all is a captivating one, and the perfect way to finish off this story. 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. It does justice to the characters and to the fans who don't go to the cinema to be challenged, but who go to love a good story and Star Wars. I have spoken.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie with an open mind and knowing that Rian Johnson had created quite the divide and that J.J. Abrams had a lot to close in just one film. First off, I left the movie theater with a smile. The movie was a balanced pace and always kept me engaged. I dont know why people are always complaining about this film. What did you expect when Abrams had to start from where he did? People also need to have an open mind when it comes to the story. For example: some fans are mad that it ruins Anakins legacy. Did it though? He brought peace and balance to the galaxy for a long time. How long did you think that balance would last? Forever? The film also had a nice array of cameos from several people like Wedge Antilles, john williams, and on and on. Movie critics who dont know anything about the Star Wars universe need to just shut up and not even review the films. Again, from where this film had to start off at, it did a very good job of bringing the series to a close and the fact that it brought respect and dignity back to lukes character and the lightsaber is more important than anything else.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this movie with VERY low expectations ater reading the leaks. I was going to recap the entire film but that would've been WAY TOO LONG. Don't get me wrong, there are genuinely good moments and few scenes that I liked, such as the C3PO and R2D2 scene, the scene where Chewbacca and Lando reunited. I still REALLY had a tiny bit of hope after the final trailer got me anticipating and hyping this movie but the hope was instantaneously destroyed when the opening crawl started.… Expand

This was a good ending to a long story of the Skywalker's. I found it to be a fun movie to tie the loose ends together, yes it had things that weren't explained and at times it felt rushed. But over all it hit home as a starwars movie.

Great movie for fans of the series. It's a bit of a mess structurally but it's the character moments and well done fan service that elevates this movie to something special.

Not Great, not bad. But its entertaining. Scenes pass to fast. Feels like a 4 hour movie crammed into 2:30. But that’s what happens when trilogy is made independent from each other. But the movie entertains.

I feel any sane Star Wars fan will regard this movie as non-cannon trash so that the series can make a lick of sense. The last movie ruined warp drives and space battles, this continued to do so while also making the force make no sense. The only nice thing that I saw was Rey show vulnerability for 1/4 of a second during her fight with Kylo, even though it make little sense and she just won at the end of the day anyways. The story writing has got to be the single worst element as it is just inconsistent garbage. This is particularly true when certain story or plot elements continue from the other movies. It also decided that it did not ruin previous characters enough and continues to squander the work of both the prequels and originals main characters. My disdain is immeasurable and my day is ruined.… Expand

The pacing of the first half felt like Abrams was trying to fit an entire movie into the first hour, likely to salvage what was left from Rian Johnson's bungle of a second movie, which felt like a quarter of a movie stretched out over twoThe pacing of the first half felt like Abrams was trying to fit an entire movie into the first hour, likely to salvage what was left from Rian Johnson's bungle of a second movie, which felt like a quarter of a movie stretched out over two hours. Unfortunately, the result was half the movie had zero pacing - it felt like scenes were being crammed in just for the sake of saying they happened, and scenes stopped instead of ended, which is to say it never felt like the end of a scene was a conclusion to any meaningful dialogue or emotion. It felt like I was watching the first half on fast forward, as there were never any pauses or drama, and there was zero nuance to scenes and interactions. There was almost no character development whatsoever - by the end I found myself not caring for a single character, old or new, and it didnt feel like anyone had meaningful relationships, rather, it felt like we were being TOLD characters liked or disliked each other, and not shown. There were also dozens of characters introduced who could have had potentially cool or unique influences on the plot, but then were thrown away almost immediately, either being killed in a fight, or just never appearing again. The second half of the movie was alright, and the effects were very cool, but it still felt incredibly disappointing as the finale to a trilogy, especially a Star Wars trilogy.… Expand

It is humorous, the plot actually goes somewhere, and it is a fun watch. All 3 of these in this series have a feeling of "look, I am making a Star Wars movie" - a superficial feeling. However, this one is the best in the series - and I enjoyed both seeing the original characters and finally got a feeling for the new characters as well as they seemed more human in this episode. Much better than "The Last Jedi" - and many more humorous moments. The force (both dark and light side) is overused and has become extreme in power level - this needs to be scaled back - it's getting ridiculous. Overall a fun ride and a fitting ending to the series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been a rabid Star Wars fan all my life and I have to say that this movie was deeply satisfying. There were many surprises along the way that were not expected, especially the big twist of Rey being The Emperor’s granddaughter. I read a lot and listen to Podcasts on Star Wars and I never once heard anyone suggest THAT theory! It was all just a great way to tie it all up. On top of that, the visuals were amazing, there was good comedic moments, there were NO annoying characters dominating the story line, the score was sensational, there were plenty of geeky fan moments, the plants and overall atmospheres were awesome, the red storm troopers and ultimately the battle sequences in the air, in space, on land and with lightsabers were perfection. I will see this movie again and again just like I did in 1977! Oh, and I loved the fact that they revealed force healing in The Mandalorian on TV the day before this movie came out so there was a small connection to what we’ve all been following on the small screen. Amazing job Disney! I suggest that if anyone rates this movie in a negative way that you are not a true Star Wars fan and you just don’t get it. This is grand entertainment of the highest caliber. This is moviemaking, storytelling, artistry, technology, creativity, vision, and just plain old passion that Walt Disney would have been proud to put his name on. I’m sure his force ghost is standing close to all that made this movie and he’s giving two big thumbs up!… Expand

The movie suffers from a myriad of issues mostly centred around its plot(which was close to non existant). The first half of the movie felt extremely disjointed, as if the director found out he needed to trim the movie down in length, and did so by cutting part of the begging and ending off pretty much each of the scenes. It also suffers from what I consider to be convenience writing. Our heroes would have a major issues and then poof, there was a solution that just appeared. This happened again and again, and really did a number on the narrative tension, it really felt like no matter what happened something would just happen and give our heroes a out. Another key issue I had was that the dialog felt lacking, I am attributing this to the fact that it felt like part of each scene was missing.

The movie did have a couple good points. The acting was good for what each actor and actress were given(not much). The visuals were stunning and John Williams sound track is still one of my all time favourites. But unfortunately these three things are not enough to make up for the lack of substance in any way shape or form.

I just cant give my recommendation to go see it. While some I am sure will enjoy the movie for the top tier visual effects, it is far too flawed for anyone who cares about the worldbuilding and story to enjoy in any meaningful way.… Expand

The apogee of idiocy. **** All the tragedy, appearance, disappearance, erasure and rewriting of characters do not cause any emotions. For one simple reason. Absurdity, I emphasize, is absurdity, and not fantastic, unreality or fairy-tale. It is the absurdity of what is happening that kills all the drama in the bud. When you do not just not believe, but really about going crayzy from camels, some of which fly fast, and some to the north.From that frantic sleep of a madman that unfolds on the screen - all these tear-squeezing scenes do not give rise to a single drop of feelings. Moreover, due to the fact that all this nonsense is mixed up in one heap, and is trying to tell something there, it is incomprehensible even to those who understand the topic. It is simply meaningless. And because of this, you stare indifferently at the screen, as if at colorful bubbles gurgling in an artificial thematic pond.Handsomely. Zero meaning. But it’s beautiful. Actually, if they had done footage with copy-paste equipment, flashes and explosions, without a plot at all, but for two hours, then this has changed little. In addition, of course, that ceased to be so stupid.And the worst thing about Star Wars is that the last episode is boring. Its stupidly boring to watch. Oh my god, even Ryan Johnson's **** was more exciting and interesting!How many suitcases were brought to the “critics” who praised all this, huh?About the plot, Palpatine, illogical perpetuations of heroes, I will not speak yet. Leave for review. Not because there is complete nonsense. I would think so if emotions left this bag of the best manure. But because it’s just a dull, dull **** elevated to the degree of infinity!But the most annoying thing is that you imagine that YOU could do with all this potential, and almost start to tear off the hair on your head. Let the various birds accuse the critics of the new trilogy (including me) of “senselessly digging into the“ little things ”. The fact that "the fans are to blame for what happened." This does not change the main thing. If the script was written by mediocrity, then neither disputes with the fans, nor “squandering” under them, will give this script artistic value.The paranoid delirium of a crazy serial killer and the narcotic hallucinations of an addict dying of an overdose grandly outstripped Joel Schumacher Batman and Robin frenzy and made it so much that Joel Schumacher himself began nervously smoking aside , is what the rise of skywalker actually is.For the gifted - this is not a review. This is an indictment in a criminal case on the wear and tear of a corpse of Princess Leia !… Expand

The characters like Finn & Poe get their time to shine & don't feel like side characters like in the previous movies. Even when it comes to Rey this movie has the best interpretation of her, as she is not a all powerful Mary Sue in this movie. She is more human with faults & shows more emotion than in the previous movies.

'Professional' critics seem to be overly harsh on this film.⁣ ⁣ To be honest, this whole Disney Star Wars thing is a complete disaster. The first film wasn't perfect but it was good enough to get everyone curious. The Last Jedi is where they messed up, it was Disney disregarding the old fans for new fans (and weirdly not only splitting the fan base for no reason but also constantly calling old fans names for their opinion) which resulted in toy sales failing, the theme park not doing anywhere near as well as it could have (what do you expect when you take out all beloved characters that built up the brand to begin with) and even the Solo movie suffered for TLJ. People can argue that things like the theme park aren't losing money like toy sales, but this is Star Wars for god's sake, it should have been massive.⁣ ⁣ This film's biggest flaws are a result of Disney panicking because it wasn't making massive profits, injecting fan service in a completely out of touch way (such as 'Reylo', Palpatine and doing a 360 on 'all opinions mattering') they did it clumsily resulting in old fans still hating it but now they've also lost the new fans. It is an impressive feat. ⁣ ⁣ This was a disappointing ending to a disappointing series of films. Looking at the film by itself, it isn't as bad as CATS but 'not as bad' is a disaster when you are talking about THE Star Wars.… Expand

Absolute terrible star wars movie.
Well at least the pre sequels won't be considered the worst anymore. In fact revenge of the Sith was a brilliant film. Anyway well done Disney you done **** up.

Nothing was earned; Nothing was developed. With SW:TROS, it became impossible to suspended my disbelief; I was watching a by-the-numbers blockbuster film with writers and Jar Jar Abrams behind the scenes at all times.

Worst film ever made. Come on Disney you bring in the guy who killed Star trek to write and direct star wars. You should have had Luke in for the fights not just for cannon but he's a better actor

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Apart from the cenamatic critique (pacing, mostly poor humor, and character development) the biggest problems with this movie is the story! While I understand that they had a tough battle (no pun intended) to retcon the issues with the last Jedi (and I appreciated the retconing that they did do), they messed up the entire plot of the first 6 films by fundamentally changing how the Force works, and who the chosen one is! This does nothing but undo the entire purpose and all of the sacrifices made in Return of the Jedi!
What did I like:
Actors did a good job with what they had to work with, the visuals were great (as always), and John Williams soundtrack was phenomenal! Other than that, not much. I would NOT recommend this movie to a casual movie watcher, let alone real Star Wars fans!!… Expand
