This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Still processing the movie. I was disappointed in the movie after the promise of the trailers. It was rushed, unevenly paced and lacked the emotional wallop one would expect (I still shed multiple tears).

Saying that I still enjoyed it and I will see it again at the theater.

TLJ messed everything up and I was actively angry leaving that movie, this just left me feeling a little empty, like I’d eaten a lot of junk food.

I watch and rewatch all the Star Wars movies and have even come to love the prequels, so make of that what you will.… Expand

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone on this one.

Critics said itI feel like I'm in the twilight zone on this one. TFA was okay (better than it needed to be, as one review I recall put it, pretty accurately), but TLJ was fair to middling at best - a lot I liked about it, and a lot I didn't. Critics said it was the balls, bewilderingly, but whatevs. The Rise Of Skywalker is pretty much being universally panned by fans and critics alike, and I think it might just be the best of the three. Very flawed, for sure, and it probably benefitted somewhat from my lowered expectations (having gorged myself on reddit spoilers, I was already familiar with the outlandish plot points)...but overall I'd say JJ carried this trilogy, and while it will never be the OT, it sure as hell beats the prequels into Alderaanian dust. Time will tell, but it may have even retconned its way into making TLJ better. I mean, it's about spacemen with laser swords, lest we forget, and agonizing over whether certain villains should be dead or not is moot...that said, I would've liked a little more Darth Plagueis worked in there other than the passing reference, but JJ only had a couple hours to wrap up freaking Star Wars. Like any of us could have done any better.… Expand

Star Wars final chapter felt like an enjoyable journey, from the get go it starts with great action set pieces and continues through out, the new locations are gorgeous Disney really brought they’re all to make sure this film looked good. 2 hours 22 minutes is the run time and I honestly felt there wasn’t a dull moment it felt like a fight till the end and my eyes could not be taken off from the screen. Some of your favourite characters make a return in some way or another along with a very surprising and somewhat confusing twist involving a returning character.

I feel there was missed opportunities through out the film most notably the choice of which Rey makes in regards to Kylo Ren’s offer to join the dark side I feel if she chose to do so the dynamic of the film would have changed and made for a more jaw dropping and surprising twist then what we got the flow of the film was great and the final scene was magical highly recommend seeing it won’t disappoint… Expand

More than any other episode, this film shows how vibrant the galaxy is, thanks to the many beautiful alien landscapes that frame a high speed hunt for the big baddie. Despite the rush, weight is given to character's progression and emotions in the right moments, nevertheless, some might be left wanting for just a bit more time with the characters they have learned to love.The heroes' speed run across the galaxy comes with a price, since one can see some degree of scene skipping. This shows that the movie needed more screen time, but maybe a director's cut treatment will do the trick. However, this is compensated by the great interpretation of the characters, special effects and an amazing music score that recalls to all previous movies.Above everything, Episode IX is packed with references and continues stories and tidbits of not only the main movies but also the animated series. This is a clear tribute to the creators and fans of Star Wars and gives a feeling of character's continuity since Episode I. In the end, The Rise of Skywalker ends this book of Star Wars mythos with a strong and universal message about what is that truly defines a person.I am left with the hope that this is just closed a book of a larger saga, and that Star Wars deserves new books to tell more about the galaxy that has filled our imagination for years.… Expand

Critics say it's the worst since the Phantom Menace, but the fact is audiences had a lot of fun watching the Phantom Menace before the internet ruined it for everyone and I had fun with this movie too. It's a return to the old-fashioned, good vs. evil adventure story that Star Wars originally was. No post-modern subversion of your expectations (though it does have some interesting twists) and no bumming you out with real world politics and the idea that morality is a murky confusing mess. If you liked the Last Jedi or want Star Wars to be like Joker (or whatever else boring people who can't admit they like something that's kid friendly are into), you'll hate this movie.

I'm not going to call it incredibly thought-provoking (it's not) neither will I cite its incredible insights into the human condition (there aren't many), but what it is is a rip-roaring sci-fi adventure and a sprawling space opera epic that feels more akin to 1980s George Lucas than anything I've seen since. It's almost Spielbergian.

What J.J. Abrams brings to the table is an incredible love for the original trilogy and even the prequels. The movie is gushing, just bursting at the seams, with adoration and respect for this franchise. I mean, it's bursting at the seams in almost every regard—aliens, robots, explosions, ways in which one might use the force or a lightsaber. It's one of the frequent complaints critics are throwing at it. But if you sat through the last two Avengers films with no complaint, I don't think that should be an issue for the stalwart nerd. I don't think this movie erases The Last Jedi. In fact, I think it's nestled The Last Jedi a little deeper into my hard, calloused heart, as well as those awkward prequels.

When The Rise of Skywalker trailer started with all those clips from episodes I-VI, I'm not gonna lie, I was annoyed. I was like, "No, Disney, you're not going to manipulate my nostalgia and sucker me into yet another one your money-sucking mega franchise event films." Alas, J.J. Abrams has manipulated my nostalgia, as he always does. Someway, somehow, this stupid movie has made me fall in love with Star Wars all over again. Maybe not Solo. But definitely the canonical numbered films. It's a big blustery behemoth of a love letter to Star Wars nerds everywhere.… Expand

It is the best movie in the Sequel Trilogy. I came into this movie with somewhat lowered expectations due to the Last Jedi, but I was pleasantly surprised! The action and fight scenes are well done and fleshed out, and the movie’s plot didn’t feel as rushed as I originally thought it would be. It redeemed what the Last Jedi tried to destroy. Overall, I’d give this a 8/10 but I’m giving it a 10/10 to negate some of the idiots who are giving it a 0/10.… Expand

JJ Abrams brings the true Star Wars spirit back to the franchise with a story that builds on the entire history of Star Wars, course corrects the missteps of TLJ, and gives Adam Driver his best turn as Kylo Ren, all of it sprinkled with surprises and delivered with unrelenting action. The perfect conclusion to the Skywalker saga.

So why the haters? Maybe the pacing was a bit unrelenting. OK sure, but so what. A lot better than it being dull and slow. People don't like Palpitane's return. But we all knew that going in. True, there is not a detailed explanation as to how he survived, but he's hooked up to a million machines so it's pretty clear he was salvaged by someone in a way similar to the way Vader was salvaged in Episode III. There is only so much time in the film. We can see more about that in a DVD special features or in the novelization. Finally, people complain about Palpitane's power at the finale. There is a very specific reason he was able to do that at that moment, but apparently the haters were not paying attention.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the movie was good, it could’ve been better but it could’ve been a lot worse. It starts off really solid we see scenes of Kylo cutting though a group of enemies, which was quite brutal we see limbs getting cut off and a lot of it’s in slow motion which just adds so much to the scene. We also see the falcon with Poe, Fin and a few others running away from the first order having a bit of banter which was nice to see, i thought them making quick jumps to hyperspace was fun and demonstrates something we’ve been told since a new hope, that the falcon is fast which is nice to see we haven’t seen it being any faster than other ships before. The middle seemed a bit rushed to me running around like a bunch of fetch quests in a game but it didn’t ruin it for me. Palatine was great a little weak at the end but he was scary which was a fantastic change to the other ones where I saw him as quite pathetic. I didn’t mind the force powers either Rays force heal worked, it took away form some things that happen to Kylo but again it didn’t ruin it. I felt like they should’ve brought back all the former force ghost to help ray fight him instead they made them talk to her which I think was meant to be them helping her but it would’ve been nice, still gave me chills to hear Anikin, Obi wan, mace, yoda, qui gon and the rest of felt good. And we finally saw that Luke train Leia which should’ve been mentioned before. If you are going to see it ignore the reviews and go in with an open mind and remember all of starwars has cringy writing don’t focus on it take in the experience instead.… Expand

J.J. shows us HE should have been in charge of all three movies in this franchise from the get go. The story is a fast paced action packed ride and we get the most powerful Kylo Ren we've seen, which is amazing. Rey EARNS her power through the most difficult trials personally she's had in the franchise, which finally shows us the great character that she always was but now it let's us appreciate it and her place in the story more.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the only truly bad thing i can say about this movie is that there is a kiss so ridiculous in the final act that people in the movie theater were laughing their asses off about it. it’s absurd and has no chemistry or build up whatsoever. and it comes on the heels of a “redemption” that is never a redemption at all; just simply a switching of sides from one second to the next.

however, apart from that, it’s the most star wars movie i could ask for. it has heart, it has action and fun and emotion and the good characters trying to stay good people even in the face of incredible odds. it’s such a fitting end to the saga that i left the theater more relieved than i thought was possible, with my only thought being: “ok, that’s over; now i’m ready to see other characters and stories in this universe!”.… Expand

Ghost Luke acts like a master Jedi instead of a bum. Poe is respected and has some of the funniest moments (yes, this movie actually has jokes that land), Finn is not a goofball character.
