After TLJ, I was absolutely, positively convinced it couldn't get any worse. That train wreck of a black plot hole seemed unsurpassable in its abject stupidity, but alas, it obviously is, because now we have to deal with RoS.

You see, I'mAfter TLJ, I was absolutely, positively convinced it couldn't get any worse. That train wreck of a black plot hole seemed unsurpassable in its abject stupidity, but alas, it obviously is, because now we have to deal with RoS.

You see, I'm not a rabid SW fan. The OT has its fair share of problems, I really, really, really didn't like the prequels, and I was actually happy that the IP went to Disney and away from George (who's anything but the messiah of filmmaking he likes to think he is), and hey, I actually quite liked TFA overall, despite its problems. But TLJ burned the house down, and RoS actually manages to dump the charred remains into a vat of acid. Big budget movies don't get any lazier and more inept than this. If this level of script quality reflects the standard of movies these days (and if the last two seasons of Game of Thrones do the same for TV productions), then we're all **** out of luck.

This zero rating isn't given out of spite, it just reflects what I think this movie is worth. Fan fiction will have a hard time managing to be worse than this.… Expand

At the same time, there another friend totally disliked the movie, he points out the moments that were lacking sense and it was hard to not agree with him. Nevertheless, he admits that episode 9 is better than episode 8. Honestly, I don't know why I liked the movie so much because it really has weak moments, but it also has really strong and cool moments, and that why I think I liked it more. Maybe after rewatching the movie I will change my grade but I don't think it will be too much different.… Expand

In the process, it tries to emulate a lot of the other movies of previous Star Wars trilogies but falls short of the ultimate potential it could have had. The characterizations in the plot did take a hit, once things seemingly felt having taken the course correction from The Last Jedi's plot elements. The Skywalkers become relevant all of a sudden, a tad above. That should have been the case right from the start, perhaps. The death of the characters in the previous entries permeates well into the third, affecting the final entry in the process.The director pulls of a feat to make it relevant and explores the safest territory to get this movie to the fans. I wont be surprised one bit, if fans approved of this movie more than the critically revered The Last Jedi. I had a lower score awarded to that movie.… Expand

Ryan Johnson completely got rid of all the Force Awakens plot points, re-wrote and restarted the story in the middle and left Abrams with a monumental pile of trash to make sense of within a single movie. JJ Abrams pulled off the impossible with The Rise of Skywalker and made a surprisingly enjoyable film to watch from the hot mess he was given. Of course its rushed, of course its a mess of trying to tie things together. It had to be since Disney swapped directors right in the middle who clearly couldn't agree on a script. I came in with the lowest of expectations and was pleasantly surprised that it was a fun watch with many questions answered. I was shocked Abrams could even make something so enjoyable from hot garbage. Its far from perfect as a film but its definitely the best anyone could have done with the pieces given. The best description I can give is its as if Abrams was given two parallel universes to try and tie together into one, and the end result was overall messy but impressive. The cinematography is great, the action is fantastic. Much of the story finally makes sense. It really just left me wishing that Abrams had direction over the second film as everything would have had more time to be tied together and less rushed. All in all, I'd highly recommend the movie to anyone who wants a good action film in the Star Wars universe.… Expand

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

However the problem with The Rise of Skywalker begins with it's foundation. You can makeThe Rise of Skywalker is a movie that has a great soundtrack, breathtaking visuals and intricate VFX that fully utilize modern cinematic technologies. However the problem with The Rise of Skywalker begins with it's foundation. You can make the perfect movie that can please everyone but given a poor foundation, the experience can become bitter sweet. This occurs because of The Last Jedi which causes instability in the hearts of original fans who have been following every part of the Star Wars saga since the beginning of the franchise. To end the saga is a beckoning challenge, unfortunately this becomes ever so difficult when a poor movie is left to be retold through its future counterpart. With this issue, if you have "two episodes of build up and one episode of conclusion" , storytelling, character development , appropriate fan-service and mentions to nostalgia will come off as rushed, unfitting and desperate. Although J.J Abrams faced a very difficult task in applying these elements, Episode IX is not excused for rough story pacing, writing and direction but even in perfect nature it couldn't of escaped the bad reputation caused by the 8th installment of the series.The Last Jedi had set up The Rise of Skywalker for failure even before the next movie had been announced and created an imbalance between the latest introductions to the trilogy that fans could feel when they walked in the theatre this year.

In conclusion, The Rise of Skywalker does check some boxes that make it an ending to the saga that most fans may come to accept as the movie ages. Although most cinema goers may find it hard to keep up with the plot of Episode IX, it can be seen that the movie gives great effort for the viewer to find conclusion in a galaxy far far away.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie with an open mind, really hoping that JJ could somehow finesse this ending after the depths of hell that Rain Johnson left it in. I was bitterly disappointed. Where I left the theatre of TLJ mad this time it's just frustration. From the opening crawl announcing that Palpatine was inexplicably back from the dead to Kylo and Rey kissing this movie was an absolute disaster from a story and plot perspective. Having this movie center around the most used villain in Star Wars and then again turn the story so that he is the penultimate bad guy is just ridiculous in my opinion. This movie did not close anything, in fact none of the movies in this current trilogy have added anything to the Star Wars universe. The best character that they created was Ben Solo, who got maybe 3 minutes of screen time before getting killed off in most likely the worst scene in Star Wars ever - first Rey dies, oh wait Ben is using the force to bring her back! Wow they kiss the crowd goes wild! Wait Ben is dead now! I just about walked out of the theatre at that point. This movie has its moments, but is always followed with an over the top/non sensical moment that sours the great scene that came before it. The battle between Kylo and Rey is a perfect example. Its a great lightsaber battle and ends in dramatic fashion with Rey stabbing Kylo in the stomach. But literally 3 seconds after the shot of him getting stabbed she somehow uses the force to heal his wound. I mean talk about not letting a scene breathe it was honestly obscene. The more I tried to just relax and enjoy the more I found myself hating it. Seriously, could be worse than TLJ.… Expand

She should have spend the entire previous movie training, we only get a glimpse of training during this movie.

The current metascore is a 5.7. In my opinion the movie deserves a 6.5. But absolutely not a 7 so my metascore is a 6. Go see it if you want to know how it ends, I'm happy I went, it was fun. But do not expect anything groundbreaking.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Does J.J.Abrams hate Rian Johnson? Because this movie sure feels like it. One may or may not like the previous movie. But trying (with force) to turn around everything the previous episode built up makes me cringe. The visuals are stunning as usual and the acting is fine as well, there are even some elements of the plot which are ok. But overall it is a big disappointment. Like all Abrams movies it feels like tons of fan service crammed into a short as possible time. The plot of the movie is boring. Basically again the same plot as previous movies. Nothing new or interesting happens. All plot twists are expected. The whole palpatine story is just pure cringe.… Expand

But anyway, this film was no exception for my high distaste of these newest films. Rushed and half-baked plot points, severe mishandling of beloved and classic characters (some very obvious de-aging and stunt doubling used for Carrie Fisher towards the end, rest her soul), forced dialogue/moments, and very obvious fan service are abundant in this final film on the trilogy, even more so than in the already weak two previous films before this one. It's as if JJ Abrams felt the need to try and cater to everybody by going way too overboard on the fan service and predictability, as well as trying to tie everything up in a nice little bow as much as possible, which just didn't work for me. It came across more like an overly eager fanboy directing this rather than JJ Abrams most of the time. Furthermore, it follows the plot arcs and tropes of so many previous films in the series, most notably Return of the Jedi in very predictable fashion. Granted, it's got its exciting moments, but the cons really do outweigh the pros here for me. Overall, what was already a very weak and unnecessary trilogy for me couldn't have ended in a more painfully forced, obvious, and predictable way. Most of this is really nothing we haven't seen before.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [SPOLERS} The Disney sequels don't end on a good note for me. Rise of Skywalker is far too rushed and frenetic and sometimes feels like two films in one, it's like JJ ABrams is trying to fix the mistakes of the previous film for half the movie. Firstly, bringing back Palpatine is very much an admission of creative failure. Not only does it never get adequately explained, but it disregards everything that happened in the original films. For me Palpatine dies when Darth Vader threw him to his death in Return of the Jedi. This is crucially important, as it closes the redemptive arc of the films as Lucas originally saw it - the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. If Palpatine is still alive, then the original films were all for nothing. Of course this isn't the first time in the sequels that canon and much-loved characters have been subverted (the whole of The Last Jedi trashes Luke). Then there's the whole copy/paste sith fleet, which is also never explained. Palpatine is never mentioned in the previous two films, and was only brought back because they decided to kill snoke in Last Jedi. As I said, most of the final film is about clearing up the train wreck of the previous film. Both Rey and Kylo Ren are well acted in Rise of Skywalker, and their dynamic is by far most the interesting thing on screen. However there are still problems. Rey is still an over-powered Mary Sue - it seems that healing is now another force power to be added to the list. She spends the whole film ceaselessly running around and never shows any tiredness. Kylo's "inner conflict" becomes very self indulgent and tiresome. They have multiple fights in the movie but they're still not up their with the duel of the fates fight. C3-PO has perhaps his best film ever, both funny and poignant. Lando has no reason to be here except for reasons of fan service. Poe is never realised as the "new Han" he was meant to be and Finn is underused. Characters are introduced for no obvious purpose other than to sell toys (Zorii Bliss, Jannah, D-0) whereas characters introduced previously are sidelined (Rose Tico). Hux suddenly becomes a spy and is promptly killed off, despite being no indication of being a spy in the previous films. Richard Grant replaces him as the new uber-evil admiral, before being killed off himself. Lots of crazy and implausible things happen, such as a cavalry charge on the deck of a star destroyer (yes, you read that right), force lightning to bring down an entire fleet of spaceships, the now-tiny resistnace movement based in a forest clearing. The whole thing seems like they're making it all up as they go along. This for me is the ultimate mistake of the sequel movies. Disney had lots of goodwill (and money) to spend but they screwed it up as they didn't plan the 3 films as a consistent story arc. I have to say that Rian Johnson is the person who is ultimately responsible for this for basically ignoring canon and messing everything up in the middle film. Him and the ultra-woke Kathleen Kennedy (Hey look! All the white guys are bad! Women are kissing!) are the reasons why Star Wars has fallen from its perch as the ultimate space saga. Overall Force awakes was a good film, if derivative. Rogue one had a really good second half and an amazing scene with Vader. The others have ranged from meh (solo) to very bad (Last Jedi). Now the sequels are done I fully expect a more positive appraisal of the prequel films which, for all their many faults, were consistent in their plotting and generous in the many new additions they brought to the Star Wars universe.… Expand

It is far from perfect. The breakneck speed of the pace and action scenes is causing whiplash and if you sit down and think (which the movie doesn't allow you to with this speed), many things become too easy to deconstruct and fall apart.
ItIt is far from perfect. The breakneck speed of the pace and action scenes is causing whiplash and if you sit down and think (which the movie doesn't allow you to with this speed), many things become too easy to deconstruct and fall apart.
It screams like this was 2 movies in one and perhaps it is as it is a clear effort to cover all the errors and plotholes and weirdness of Last Jedi.

But it is also the first movie in the new trilogy that feels like Star Wars. Many aliens, other civilizations, colourful planets (and not a National Geographic photoshop), a lot of travel and exploration. And the fan service, while on the thick side, this is what should be expected when you are closing 40y of cinematic history. Most of it is nice and you enjoy it. I was particularly pleased with the humor which finally hit the right SW note. No idiotic Mama jokes and Marvel awkwardness, just small subtle moments that work so much better.

Lastly, I am very happy with the way to see the return of the Emperor. It was a clear (and first!) love letter to the hardcore fans as it is preety much a tribute to the expanded universe and what was considered cannon for almost 30 years.

All in all, while not perfect, this was the only movie in the new trilogy that I came out with a smile and not puzzled (TFA) or distressed (TLJ), and for that, I am happy.… Expand

I liked The Force Awakens, I REALLY liked The Last Jedi, but this movie is just a real big mess. I know fans will probably love it - they don’t need a good movie, they just wantOh my god... I need to say I had a very bad time in the cinema.

I liked The Force Awakens, I REALLY liked The Last Jedi, but this movie is just a real big mess. I know fans will probably love it - they don’t need a good movie, they just want to see scenes EXACTLY AS THEY EXPECT THEM TO BE with their favorite characters doing things exactly as they want to (who doesn’t like superhero movies?), and meet fulfillness of their expectations. If you are a diehard fan, maybe you don’t need this opinion?

I know it was hard to make a third movie after TLJ - it was great as a standalone, but not as a part of a trilogy, unfortunately - but it wasn’t impossible and The Rise of Skywalker is clearly not the movie, which I wanted to see. The pace is quick, the scenes with a bit of any impact are coldly calculated, there is no place for surprises, and if there are any, they are funny just because of how ridiculous they feel after what we’ve got in this whole trilogy. The intrigue? Easy and full of accidents. The returns of well-known and beloved or love-to-hate characters? Cheap and unsatisfying.

It’s not a movie - it’s a collection of short scenes connected by a weak and barely holding plot. I was really sad in the theatre. I really hoped for something „just” good. Instead I saw this thing - as I wrote before, a collection of scenes prepared for diehard fans, ready to make this „oooooh!” sound when any of their dreams happen, well-known character jumps in or dialogue makes wink to the past on the screen. If not only for them - for special effect purists and people, who go to the cinema 1-2 times a year for the blockbuster movie, for sure.

But I’m not any kind of an expert. Those are just my thoughts and I don’t want to fit people into categories, cause it’s a nonsense. I want to show you, what can you expect from Episode IX, if you want to see a good movie and you have something similar to the archetypes I mentioned.

For positives, I need to say that Adam Driver is fantastic in his role (but he have nothing to play in the second part of the movie...), also can’t tell a bad word about Oscar Isaac and John Boyega. Daisy Ridley is somehow wooden as Rey, but probably we can’t have everything we want. Oh, and special effects don’t look bad either... until final act of the movie. But you will see what I mean by that. John Williams score sounds better than in Episode VIII, but you know, it’s great as always. And C3PO is surprisingly funny!

I wanted to like this movie. I was watching it and saying to myself „it will change in the next act, I know! it all is not as I think it is”. Well, it was, and for me The Rise of Skywalker is a disappointment as huge as, I don’t know, probably Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies.

For me that’s a really, really bad movie with zero stakes (you know, how’s it going to end just from the start) but also with TONS of fan service. You will love it if you have this „oh, it’s him! oh, it’s this! oh, I wanted this badly! ooooh!” attitude, but if you expect a good movie just as I expected, you will be greatly disappointed. Just as I was.… Expand

Overall, 'The Rise of Skywalker' is unpredictable in good ways, takes risks that work out pretty well, but with that comes a bit of a mess that unfortunately can make someone lose their focus with the screenplay. People are going to say it just sucks and it "the worst star wars film," but that is not true at all. Just try to enjoy it, it is not spectacular or by any means the best 'Star Wars' film, but it is really good and worthy of having the name "Skywalker" in its title, and a good amount of that is derived from that terrific ending.

While the prequel trilogy got its fair share of justifiable criticism, it's one saving grace was the grand narrative (the rise of darth vader, the emperor and the empire) that tied everything together and engaged the fans. This sequel trilogy—perfectly summed up in the rise of skywalker—is an incoherent mess with absolutely no substance, depth, or character development. A truly awful movie, and this is coming from someone who is a massive star wars fan. I naively had faith that they would do right in this movie and right the wrongs of the last two movies. How wrong I was. Safe to say that I'm absolutely gutted right now. In terms of the story, we are almost in exactly the same place as we were at the end of Return of the Jedi, with two exceptions: Disney will be several billion dollars richer, and many star wars fans will have given up on the franchise completely. Oh, and for the record, I think Daisy Ridley is a very poor actress. I never felt any connection to her character in any of the three sequel films. Terrible, just terrible.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was dissappointed. This remains an okay-ish movie for me, but there were too many incomprehensible moments: 1) The kiss...why? 2) Finn's unanswered question to Rey seems extremely sloppy, 3) Zorrii Bliss, Jannah, D-O, Han...should all have been left out of the movie, 4) Princess Leia...I'm sorry but was it really necessary to bring her back? I did like some of the humor, action sequences and the acting of Rey/Ren.
But why not keep Chewie dead? This could have given some true emotional weight to the movie.
Unpopular opinion: I'm glad Rian Johnson will be Directing some future SW movie (although I had some issues with SW8 as well).… Expand

Don’t let the reviews fool you. This is the best episode of the new trilogy. If you’re a long term fan you’ll love this movie overall. It’s not perfect, but it deserves the ten.

It’s not perfect, but it deserves the ten. Is there some fan service, sure. That’s not a bad thing though. TLJ was anti fan service just to subvert your expectations. That’s like thinking you’re about to drink apple juice and you get iced tea. Wow, weren’t you surprised. No I wanted apple juice. This film is Apple cider, and you know what, I loved it.… Expand

After the abomination that was the Last Jedi I didn’t expect much from this movie. To my surprise it is good and the best out of the modern trilogy and the prequels. Still can’t beat the original trilogy but is definitely a must watch forAfter the abomination that was the Last Jedi I didn’t expect much from this movie.

The plot essentially undoes almost everything the previous films have done and throws a wrench into the story as the “big reveal”. On top of this, many of the films scenes were copy and pasted from movies such as Endgame, Prisoner of Azkaban, The Philosophers Stone, among others. In the end, the film was exciting for some moments but delivered a convoluted, unsatisfying ending to this much beloved franchise.… Expand

Don't worry about all the sniffy reviews by critics who are not willing to admit how wrong they were about Last Jedi and trying to hide it. This is rip roaring, fun, fast paced adventure and I loved every second of it. It does make me think how better this trilogy would have been without that idiot Rian allowed to do a film in the middle... If I have one complaint, this had so much to say, do and fix (from the last film) what it could have gone as two movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed the movie. If you feel the same then spare yourself and stop reading negative critics!
After all it's a fairytale! With princesses and monsters and swords and knights. Multiple lightspeed jumps? Sure, it's a fairytale! All of a sudden healing powers? Sure, it's a fairytale! Kissing the princess? Sure, it's a fairytale!
Enjoy the esthetics! J. J. Abrams gave us beautiful pictures, once again. Rey walking underneath the Sith cube - I would put this straight on my wall! In the end the film gave me what I wanted: High polished star wars design, a few answers to open questions and a proper good bye to all my favorite characters. You might call it an overdose of fanservice - for me it's a good ending to the saga.… Expand

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

Felt like watching three movies worth of idea shoved into one but not fleshed out in a satisfying way. Story was laughably bad in places and this mostly incoherent mess wasted the acting talent that was in it.

Джей-Джей Абрамс ловко сложил из всех фанатских теорий цельный эпизод, разве что сам не сыграл Джа Джа Бинкса, который является самым главным злодеем саги по конспирологии вселенной SW, оставив огромный пласт для развития историй между восьмёркой и девяткой на откуп "Disney+". При этом складывается впечатление, что источником для идейности ленты стал трек группы КАСТА "На порядок выше", где стратегии в повествовании фильм придерживается чётко, стараясь всячески быть самостоятельным, обходя все восемь картин до, в попытках работать на максимальную аудиторию и не забывать при этом свои корни. На вопрос который заботит больше всего невероятно уставших от мира Звёздных Войн "Ставится ли точка в конце?", предельного ответа так и не получит ни кто, ведь в последних пяти минутах всё наследие Лукаса, хоть и зарывается под землю, но утвердительный возглас главной героини, что пронзает пространство, аккуратно включая свой световой меч, так же бережно вырисовывает восклицательный знак.… Expand

JJ Abrams does a wonderful job trying to save the series. It's corny, but it's Star Wars.

How our PrincessAgainst all odds, JJ absolutely nailed this movie! I was mesmerised back in 77 as a 5 year old kid during episode 4 and again tonight watching episode 9, I was totally captivated, ending the Skywalker saga on a massive high.
How our Princess was handled was absolutely perfect, the movie looked incredible, the cast were all amazing and John Williams score, as always, was consistently awesome. I left the theatre this evening with a tear in my eye and a huge grin on my face.
My 13 year old daughter scored the film 10/10, my 18 year old son 8.5/10, my wife 9/10 and for me it was a perfect 5 star experience. I'm going back to see it again tomorrow, to once again take in that stunningly beautiful final Star Wars shot, in all it's emotional glory.
Star Wars has been a massive part of my life and tonight the saga ended with me feeling full of wonder, awe and absolute total satisfaction; thanks JJ.
Once again the majority of movie critics have demonstrated their irrelevance!… Expand
