It will not answer all of your questions, but it tries to address some of them. It's a lot of action and fan service. I found it enjoyable but a little flat. They did an excellent job including Carrie Fisher in the film using extant footage and body doubles. There is none of the freaky recreation we say in Rogue One. At several places the narrative suffers from the her absence, but I respect the decisions her estate made. I saw the first film in the theater when I was 13. To varying degrees, every film after Empire has been a disappointment. This was no exception. But I thought it was a good attempt at resolving the "sequel trilogy."… Expand

Is it because their generation can only truly identify with the prequel trilogy? Is this what has caused the generational chip on their shoulders to begin with? Because if you grew up as a kid with the original trilogy, laughed at the prequel trilogy before purging it from your memory and vowing never to acknowledge them again or, God forbid, expose children to them, then there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy a good time at this movie. If you're looking for this to be a foreign art house film or get triggered when the list of Oscar nominations comes out because the obscure limited release movie you heard about but didn't get a chance to see because you were too busy being offended by something you read about that happened ten or more years ago, then yeah. You might be the type who won't enjoy this movie. But then again, you're probably too busy waxing your beard with freshly squeezed avocado juice at Starbucks. But if you're not looking to start your own online university with an upper-level Cinema Appreciation class based entirely on the merits of this movie, and you are the type who can just sit back and enjoy seeing someone at least trying to provide a few more chapters to the stories you cherished as a kid because something is better than nothing, then yeah. You should go see it. And bring your grandchildren because they will enjoy it, too. Just be sure to tell them about how hilariously bad the prequel trilogy was. Then tell them that it's ok to laugh at their parents when they get home because Star Wars hated them just as much as they hate Star Wars now.… Expand

But lets get things into perspective. It is quite strange to see Lucasfilm being in the exact same position that Warner Bros did with the Justice League as well as Universal's Furious series. They had an installment that sets a direction that was hated by long time fans, as well as losing a key cast member. Essentially, what J.J. Abrams did was herculean, and essentially involved a lot of retcon of the previous story line, dashed in with a dollop of nostalgia. (Hello, Palpatine) Sure the action sequences and production values are still stellar as usual, but the fact of the matter is that the plot buckles with all this strain. The end result though is still pretty great, better than the worst of the prequels, but having a similar quality to the 'Revenge of the Sith'. The highlight: Daisy Ridley's and Adam Driver's incredible performance and chemistry as the two main leads. Both are so believable and great in their acting abilities that you get buoyed. Kudos also for the rest of the cast, especially Billy Dee Williams. His charisma saved the day. Yet, at the end of the day, this installment feels like having too many cooks cooking the broth. They buckled under fans' demands, and relented to them in the wrong way in many respects. Clearly, there is a lack of creative direction almost derailed this saga, and Kathleen Kennedy sadly is not as 'visionary' as Kevin Feige of the MCU. Alas, fuming Star Wars fans can take comfort that the Mandalorian on Disney + is an amazing show.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was fun. Went to watch a space opera and be entertained. I have enjoyed all 9 movies, and this one was one of the most action-packed ones. I went to see a children's sci-fi film that would likely have a couple of silly elements and questionable logic but would have great graphics, good acting, and a lot of action, as well as things added just for nostalgia (Chewie getting a medal). I got all of that. I love Star Wars, loved KOTOR, KOTOR II, SWTOR, and I am enjoying the Mandalorian. I don't see what's not to love about this film. Its a good children's film that keeps the amazing visual and fun elements of the previous ones. Its a top 5 Star Wars film. My only critique is that it is very poor planning to not have an overarching script made from the beginning. Drafting the script after every movie in a planned trilogy is ridiculous. JJ did a good job at making this last movie work, but Kathleen Kennedy didn't manage this well. Poor management throughout this trilogy that got lucky with this nostalgia-filled hail mary.… Expand

Everything takes about the amount of time it should.There are some definite good points and bad points for this movie, but overall, it is well worth watching. There aren't any boring periods like in many movies, nor is it overly frenetic. Everything takes about the amount of time it should.

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to give it an 9. From an entertaining aspect, that's where it belongs. It's action pack, a lot of cinematography, and great star wars lore.

From a hardcore star wars fan, it clearly missed the shot with many people. Aiming to please more than just your average viewer. From the awkward kiss between Rey and Ren (Wow similar names) to the death of Lia, to the way they handle Luke a lot questionable decision.

My biggest issue with it, is lack of originality. I felt like this whole trilogy, was more of a remake of episode 4,5,6.

It's a story about a protagonist journey to bring balance to the force (Luke = Rey). A message was given by a leader (Obi Wan + R2D2 = Lia + BB), and a villain, with family ties, trying to stop them (Darth Vader + Luke = Palatine + Rey) I felt like they were writers/director was too scared to develop their own story. P.S. I wasn't quite sure why everyone had to die either..… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this was a pretty good way to end the saga. There are a lot of things that will make long-term fans happy, while also providing fair development for the new characters to the sequel trilogy (such as Rey finally learning about her parents).

It felt like it was retreading old ground on several occasions though, with the way Ben Solo/Kylo Ren came to the decision to ditch the latter name feeling rather shallow. I also feel like some things were added purely for fanservice, such as Lando's rather superficial role and the scene near the end where Rey and Ben kissed. I want to clarify that I don't think the fanservice factors made the film necessarily worse, but they will most likely divide the fanbase.

My biggest criticism with the new film though, is the decision to revive Palpatine. Not only does this largely lower the value of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader's sacrifice in Return of the Jedi, but to me it seems like a lazy way to increase the stakes. They did an excellent job at portraying him as a menacing figure though, so I'll praise them for that.

Overall, I enjoyed this one, but it isn't my favourite. Somewhat better than The Last Jedi.… Expand

The final chapter of the Skywalker saga, the Resistance facing the First Order once more in an epic battle of good versus evil. As always this is a spoiler free review, rest assured there are no plot details but if you are a die-hard StarThe final chapter of the Skywalker saga, the Resistance facing the First Order once more in an epic battle of good versus evil. As always this is a spoiler free review, rest assured there are no plot details but if you are a die-hard Star Wars fan what are you doing reading this? Go see the film.

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not quite the ending that you would expect from one of the biggest franchises of all time. I can see how this film has amassed such criticism but it’s actually an enjoyable movie. Leave your brain in neutral and you get the best out of the inconsistencies. The action and pacing are chaotic at times and the Character development and story telling is underwhelming, lame on occasion. The force powers our 2 leads have are really over the top and out of the realistic realms of our understanding in the SW universe. All characters minus Rey, Ben and palpatine are pretty much extras but The saga concluded well enough. Palpatines power is totally unrealistic but when compared to a villain like the extra snoke was I’ll take that all day long. It’s silly and a bit of an insult to us hard core fans but Abrams did give us fan service. Whatever anyone says. Cameos from Luke, Han and enough tidbits to keep the less cynical and negative happy. It was a noble effort and I think it’s a shame the critics in general have been a bit harsh. This final trilogy , despite its many flaws, is better than the prequels. The prequels had a clear story, not so wishy washy but these films have done what they served to do in my opinion...… Expand

Much like the Force Awakens where JJ did what he had toAfter watching this film I felt JJ Abrams did what he had to do to fix the horror of Episode 8. I felt like you could watch 7 & 9 and still get a complete arc of this Sequel "Trilogy".
Much like the Force Awakens where JJ did what he had to do to put faith back in to the fan base, JJ once again is forced to try and build trust in the fan base, and I think he does that. He acknowledges and in my view, fixes/retcons? the errors and plot problems with Ep 8. Mainly the Holdo Light speed Maneuver, Reys lineage, and a lot less Rose.

The beginning of this film is rushed a bit as they bounce from planet to planet, but this is necessary to fix episode 8. There are nods to all three trilogies which either uses references to old locations, characters, or bits of plot to really tie all 9 films together. JJ also answers the key questions he posed for Episode 7 that Ep 8 ignores/changed.

The plot is a little predictable, but its Star Wars, its a Hero's Journey, so you know what to expect. I really like the finale story wise and the central theme of the entire series is finally fulfilled. There are some subtle things that are easy to miss in that regard. I really like what they did with Rey. You do find out the truth about her parents. As for Kylo, I really liked his arc and felt he was the most fleshed out of all the new Trilogy characters. We also get to learn a bit more about Poe's history which was an interesting twist, and the banter between him and the other characters was enjoyable. Fenn has some new development which was foreshadowed a bit in the prior to films but was a good payoff. We also get a couple new characters (droids, aliens, heroes, villains, and of course Cameos.)

Music is great as always. There are a couple fantastic cinematography shots, the wave scene reminded me of Interstellar a bit, and of course there is the "WOW" scene like with the death star explodes.

I did not notice any direct tie ins to the Mandalorian series, so if you haven't watched that it won’t matter and it won’t get spoiled. It’s possible there was something small I missed. There are indeed some nostalgia moments in the film and one near the end that brings closure to a fan favorite character from the original trilogy that was completely unexpected but enjoyable.

There are no End Credit scenes so you don't need to stay, but its interesting to see all the famous people that are storm troopers in this film. The list is quite long.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

However it seems to be a film clearly done to please the fans and provide a conclusion to the franchise, and not to be a masterwork of writing. A very enjoyable basic IQ film for true SW fans that enjoy fanservice like lore (ie: datacrons) & force jumps.

The huge problem with the film is its plot, which could have had lots of fat trimmed off it. The film feels like too much is happening in it, which gives migraines. But overall it's a satisfying plot.

I suspect the bad reviews come from the liberties taken by JJ Abrams concerning the lore. Which I do expect to be divise. In a nutshell, imagine TLJ cranked up 10X. That's how I felt about this film. The fact that it still delivers a satisfying conclusion to the fanboys rewards it with an 8/10 in my book, because that's what was needed, above good writing.… Expand

I liked the way the characters evolved so that the end reveals some points and make them seem right.

Some points are left unexplained and others don't make sense at all. Good movie, but it's not well located in the trilogy. The whole trilogy looks like a direction fight.

This film takes the mess left behind and executes some stupid and silly ideas very well. This film was enjoyable, the action scenes were very much impactful and a joy to watch.

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

Le plus gros problème selon moi ses que J.J Abrams n’a pas assez de temps pour faire le film. Il a eu deux ans pour répondre à toute nos questions, écrire le scénario, tourner le film, les effets spéciaux, la poste Production, les décores et finir l’histoire. En plus au début c’était un autre réalisateur qui devait faire le film. Le film a de très bon plan de caméra, de beaux décors des environnement original. Le film va vite et la fin s’étire un peut mais ces très bien tourné. La mort de Kylo Ren et le retour à la lumière de Ben Solo ce fait peut-être un trop vite. Je n’aime pas beaucoup le retour de Han Solo pour convaincre Ren de revenir de côté lumineux, j’aurais plus mis Luke. Je n’aurais pas fait mourir Ben Solo non plus. L’humour est bien dosé et Daisy Ridley et Adam Driver son très bon. Ce film est un bon film j’ai passé un bon moment et je ne me suis pas ennuyé.… Expand

Would have loved to see the full tilogy done by JJ. But he did the best he could with the mess he inherited.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Critics are crying about the disrespect to Ryan Johnson in this film but didn't shed a tear when the Last Jedi disrespected Lucas legacy. The critics were correct that The Rise of Skywalker was a mess but it was much more enjoyable to watch than The Last Jedi which was even more garbage on story telling and disrespectful to the legacy of the characters of Luke Skywalker. I left the movie feeling good on Rise of Skywalker vs The Last Jedi where I felt nothing but contempt for the team that allowed that garbage to happen to Luke Skywalker.… Expand

It fixes many problems created by the last Jedi (a horrible movie and insult to the franchise). It was enjoyable and respected the star wars universe and lore. The plot is all over the place at times but that is largely the fault of having to be a grand ending to trilogy where the middle film of the trilogy backstabbed the first film and then shot itself in the head. Considering that it end the saga as well as expected. It was great to see an action packed star wars movie with meaningful events and developments that actually acknowledges and respects the 7 movies and expanded universe that came before it. (Unlike the last Jedi which cannot even be considered a star wars movie at this point).… Expand

However it shines whenever Kylo Ren is on screen as it turns him into a truly imposing figure and Adam Driver is excellent. This also leads to some of the very best interactions between the two leads and I only wish we got more of this and of course JJ making all 3 which would have solved many of its problems. Overall a very entertaining ride… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not the greatest but certainly worth going to see. O had a few problems, with it, never explaining anything with Palpatine, just there in the begining and no explanation of it. The whole world he was on was, they had 8 movies previous and no mention of it, then it felt like GOT with the whole thrown thing....that said, it was still a really good star wars movie that's worth watching.… Expand

So much better than the visual diaherra from that last movie. It is sad to think how much less rushed the pace of this movie would’ve been if JJ directed the second movie as well. Plot lines would’ve been way more fleshed out.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed this film and feel like it answered some important questions about Rey's family history. Also I think this trilogy is trying to inspire a whole new generation of fans and include them as part of skywalker legacy. Much of what was presented i expected in the last jedi.....better late than never. TFA still was best of this trilogy and at least this movie picked up where 7 left off.… Expand

Like Scorcese, se can say this is a theme park, not a movie. Considering this is the last movie in a entertainment franchise, entertainment was what I was expecting, not necessarally a great script.

There are a few plot holes you’ll have to forgive, and some stuff is literally explained in a sentence, but if you can get past that, it’s a rollercoaster ride that never felt like it was dragging.

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