With the tumultuous backlash of The Last Jedi, JJ Abrams cranks up the pacing of this film to get the ball rolling. And it doesn't stop.

Despite having issue with some creative choices, the film was very enjoyable.

In a cycle things return full circle. And to get caught up in plot holes and logic when your watching a movie from a franchise, set in another galaxy, that has always eschewed the physics of outer space, is sort of silly. Was the movie perfect, probably not, but to say it’s the worst in the saga is major hyperbole. I mean worse than “Attack of the Clones”? Come on! That being said I’ve seen AOC like twenty times because, warts and all, it’s part of the Star Wars. Also, all of the films since the original have existed in the context of a larger universe. Books, comics, tv shows. So, if you’re having trouble following along, perhaps your confusion says something about your personal interest in the franchise. Anyway I give It 7 out of 10 because I found it very satisfying. Only ESB gets a 10 from me. May The Force Be With You.… Expand

My preferred Star Wars, more powerful characters, beautiful love story.
I understand that the fans do not like because it goes beyond their principles and pushes the rules, but he is ambitious, and perfectly consistent with the old film.

An incredible achievement. Abrams, Terrio, and the whole team had an almost impossible task here but they miraculously delivered. Contrary to what I'm seeing from many people in the film critic world and a small minority of fans, I thoughtAn incredible achievement. Abrams, Terrio, and the whole team had an almost impossible task here but they miraculously delivered. Contrary to what I'm seeing from many people in the film critic world and a small minority of fans, I thought that this movie was very much inspired and ambitious, taking many risks that could have easily fallen flat but instead somehow worked beautifully. Moreover, the love and care that went into crafting it shines through in just about every single scene; the resulting experience is pure delight soaring through a deluge of tears.

I was blown away by how much of Leia we saw, and how well they pulled it off; I was expecting for her role in this chapter to rely way more on indirect references and inferences, but instead she was right there. Sure, knowing that it was built upon footage that was taken in an entirely different context makes it hard to squint enough to completely blur the seams, but more than anything else, I was deeply touched by how beautifully her scenes and arc were woven into the overall story. I don't think I've ever cried so much during a movie!

Leia's incorporation wasn't the only miraculous element of this movie; it was really the overall story and how strongly it brought the whole saga together like a jigsaw puzzle. So many questions answered while staying true to Star Wars as a modern mythology filled with powerful archetypes (and mysteries), and it never felt cheap or overwrought to me. I think it actually made The Last Jedi (which I also liked a lot, just in case you feel tempted to write me off as another Rian Johnson hater) better; there were multiple elements in that film that I struggled to make sense of, but this one somehow managed to pull many of them into the fold in a fascinating and seamless way. It didn't undo or diminish anything from "Last;" it only built upon and enriched that chapter's plot and themes.

More miracles: The performances in this film, especially by Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, were the best acting I've ever seen in a Star Wars movie. There really wasn't a weak link anywhere. John Boyega was the best he's been in this trilogy, Oscar Isaac was great as always, I absolutely adored Keri Russell as Zorri Bliss and Naomi Ackie as Jannah, and the returning cast from the original trilogy were (seemingly) effortlessly perfect (I loved how big of a role 3PO had!). The chemistry between everybody was totally natural and at times electric; really all you could ask for. Oh, and Babu Frik and D-0! So good!

All of this came together to give us a movie with a ton of heart and soul, lots of shocking surprises, a powerful message of hope and love, loads of thrilling action with my favorite lightsaber duels ever, and just the right amount of humor that managed to be fresh and playful while still having that classic Star Wars feel. And it was just plain fun! Remember fun? And finally, it had MAGIC. This will probably enrage "Rise" haters to no end as the ultimate sacrilege, but I honestly haven't felt such a sense of magic in a Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back's Yoda and X-Wing scene on Dagobah impossibly combined a small green hand puppet, Miss Piggy's and Cookie Monster's puppeteer and voice actor, a fog-machined studio swamp set, a model spaceship, and John Williams' score into something miraculously sublime. Perhaps we can thank Carrie Fisher's spirit for intervening with a little touch of Force magic in this one.

Just one more thought, and for some this will probably be the most polarizing: I couldn't help but notice how powerfully this final chapter of the saga lifted up a number of simple but deeply universal messages just as the strongest of the previous episodes have, and in this case they were quite relevant to the dark times we currently find ourselves in. I especially loved Zorri's "They win by making you think you’re alone" and "There's more of us" while stormtroopers moved throughout the village separating children from their families. So very, very applicable to the nightmare we're going through in the US (and many other parts of the world) right now. (Sorry Trump fans, I don't know how to put it more gently. Star Wars has always been a cry of protest against a very real dark side, whose traits -- anger, hatred, cruelty, greed, narcissism, deceit, impulsiveness, impatience, authoritarianism, autocracy -- are so thoroughly personified by the current resident of the White House and his GOP sycophants that this episode can't help but have an overtly politically message if it wants to stay true to the values that have undergirded Star Wars from the beginning.) The scenes of community and diversity, fueled by love and hope, among members of the Resistance shine as an alternative vision for us to strive towards. And for those of us with loved ones who have fallen prey to these dark, tribalistic impulses, this movie also offers a powerful reminder to not lose hope in them. May the Force be with us all.… Expand

Star wars is more about hope and belief in good. This movie produces this spirit. Stop hating on it and the people that originally found hope from episode 4 (THE ORIGINAL)

JJ Abrahms (and Disney). Thank you. I grew up with Star Wars (born the year the original was released). I spent every Saturday morning from when I can remember watching the original trilogy.
This movie gave all the origianl trilogy heroes (Lea, Luke, Han, and all droids) so much of a goodbye in brilliant spirirt, as well as character development and ending arc's and stories of the new characters (and the plot) of the final trilogy. Kylo/Ben's and Reys were particularly great and engaging.
This was a true starwars movie and I had to hide my tears.
Starwars fan from day 1.

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

The acting is exceptional and runs alongside amazing directing by JJ Abrams who does a very good job to make it feel like a 'Star Wars' film. 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So my girlfriend believes my numeric review of a 7 is too generous. However, my own justifications are explained further. I can understand the fact that a lot of unresolved plot points had to be quickly exposed. I had a bad feeling about midcourse correcting the film's directorship from Colin Trevorrow to J.J. Abrams, who, let's face it, has very few thought-provoking or original ideas of his own. So much of what was developed in 'The Last Jedi' gets jettisoned within the first 10-15 minutes of this installment of the Skywalker saga.

In this go-round Abrams plays it safe to the point of feeling disingenuously contrived and rushed, leading to essentially Return of the Jedi 2.0. The movie clocks in at close to two-and-a-half hours, when it could have been slightly longer, and might have felt more complete. For a true die-hard Star Wars fan like myself, I find it difficult to bear the fact that Rey's parentage is explained in near split-second flashbacks. Why the film did not explain further how her parents could have evaded Sheev Palpatine (their own father) for close to ten years further adds insult to injury. Thanks to fanboys shaming Kelly Marie Tran for her bubbly portrayal of Rose Tico in 'The Last Jedi', she gets placed on the back-burner in this one. Lando Calirissian gets no more than a few snapshots worth of screen time. The fact that Ben Solo dies saving Rey further closes the gap for any possibility of passing on the Skywalker lineage, even though Rey says at the end that she is Rey Skywalker. The only possibility of saving some of these plot points is if a novelization, a non-EA video game, or Special Edition of the film fills in the gaps.

With all of that being said, the movie is worth watching at least once, perhaps twice in theaters, if for no other reason than to be able to see it in Digital, as well as, in 3D.… Expand

The first half is muddled but once it gets going I really enjoyed it. I think after the last one which pushed very little forward and chopped off so many plot points it was a hard film to make, but I enjoyed it!

While the overall saga resents from the clear lack of a well thought out and unified plot for all 3 movies this installment stands out as the best of the new trilogy. This is the movie that current generations will praise further down the line. It's vibrant and despite moving sometimes too fast for someone not so young it flows nicely and keeps you trapped in the adventure. Fans will complain again because it certainly does not follow the principles set by the original trilogy, this is what happen with TLJ too and while I certainly dissagree on some things from that movie and I do not fully embrace the "Let the past die", you certainly will have more fun watching this movie if you stop holding on! and let go!… 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

I fund little to smile about in the earlier two films, some things to smile about in Ron Howard's Solo film. This film is an outstanding, incredible achievement of imagination and craft. I suspect this is JJ's best film and best script, with his several collaborators. The light saber fight choreography has never been better ever. The acting has never been better. What I don't see mentioned in other reviews is the video-game angle. The Rogue One movie played more like a video game than like a movie, lots to do, not much emotional engagement. Rise of Skywalker plays as a perfect hybrid of movie and video game, best elements of both, lots you culd do in a video-game AND lots of emotional engagement, even some originality (Luke and Leia) were bother sister. Rei and Ben become brother and sister). I think more credit needs to go to the brain trust of writers, including Colin Treverow and JJ, two masters of breathing fresh life into old IPs, sometimes strikingly original new life. The trailers suggested the movie could be overly sentimental fan service, a "Star Wars greatest hits." Every Disney Star Wars has tried to be "Star Wars greatest hits." I found the story engaging over and above the hundreds of "greatest hits" moments. Quite an accomplishment. :)… Expand

valmont1702Dec 24, 2019
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The strenght of the movie clearly is the emotional journey that spreads all along this intense & spectacular adventure of epic proportions. It takes place 3 years after the events of "The Last Jedi", thereby all our main protagonists have evolved and now all have to deal with the return of a familiar face : Palpatine.

The struggle between the light & the darkness has never been so vivid. Our bloodline can or can not define who we are, because at the end of the day it always comes to our own choices anyway. And it's never too late to change the course of events ; as long as there is life, there still can be hope.
Keeping alive a strong belief into this hope : that is a central theme of the entire movie. The love, the empathy, and the will to work together for a greater purpose.

Another aspect that is immense and the heartbeat of this final episode, is the deep link between Rey & Kylo/Ben... With the influence of past mentors & parents to bend the destiny in a precise direction. And despite the doubts that litter the story and the destinies of our protagonists, all these connections make this film a wonderful ode to symbiosis/working together for a common benefit. Which always is the key to the development of life itself. And it very much is what the force is meant to be. Because without life : it's nothingness.

The new additions (characters), plot twists, and even the cameos, all play an important part in the progression up until final chapters of the movie ; the "grand finale". And having Ben back to life, thanks to Leia's sacrifice (the life of a bright soul in exchange for another soul to be redeemed), in addition with Han's heartwarming words... Luke giving Rey a nice push, with light side teachings that are as well heartwarming.

Rey facing her dark destiny, but by always staying faithful to what she believes in. And Ben finally back to light in a most epic way. Those are emotional bits that can give you so many chills... The gorgeous space battle brings a grandiose epicness to these last scenes, with all these ships and people unifying for a common goal. All of this in the name of the peace for the galaxy as a whole.

How not to talk about all the Jedi in Rey !... Giving her the only thing that is powerful enough to erase the Sith once and for all, which is : the unity. Which is something that the Sith are incapable of doing. The rule of two is the result of the selfishness that is an inherent trait of what being a Sith is. Each Sith wants the unlimited power, and he wants it all for himself. While the Jedi always consider the benefit common to all... And having Rey, who is a Palpatine by blood, but a Skywalker by heart (as referred at the very end of the movie, btw), being the tip of the "lightsaber" ; it is quite simply a moment of relief.

Ben's death divides the audience, but he found his redemption (after all the horrors he has commited) by giving his life in exchange for Rey's, who unlike him has not fallen to the dark side. Yes, Ben would probably have deserved a funeral and/or a force ghost... I can agree with that, but I don't fall into the hatred bandwagon because of things that I consider as details. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see new/future editions of the movie, including such things. But I also would be fine if it stays this way. Why ?... Because Ben has played his role in all of this, in the best possible way ; and to me that's what matters the most. Plus we have Rey coming back to Tatooine, right in the Lars homestad (which is a truly peaceful moment to witness)... Paying hommage to Leia & Luke, and marking this new era of peace by leaving their two lightsabers at rest. What a soothing symbol it is.

The last scene satisfied me even more, with Rey now having a last name that defines who she truly is... Which is the disciple and in a sense the spiritual daughter of both Leia & Luke, but also the lover of Ben Solo/Skywalker who gave her a new life (resurrection/rebith). And what a sweet feeling to see this yellow lightsaber which evokes the Jedi Temple Guards, because in a way, Rey now is imbued with the role of Guardian of the Force itself...

How satisfying and soothing all this movie was to me. All these deep & intense emotions... But also lots of memorable scenes of a visual standpoint ! With new planets, locations & settings...or revisiting places like the Death Star we know so well, but now in ruins... The lightsaber fights were imbued with these emotional vibes that can be felt all along the movie, and looked really cool (I mean, it's Star Wars) ! Also, Finn & Poe of course, but also Chewbacca & C3-PO : the secondary characters all have a moment to shine and play a pivotal role for the greater story. I don't forget Leia and the wonderful way they smoothly integrated Carrie Fisher in this movie, building scenes around her performances. Lando & Palpatine coming back, were a great fun, and hearing all the past Jedi voices was a magical feeling...… Expand

I think the nostalgia and hype that surrounded new Star Wars movies has also fully worn off and I think this movie will age much better than the Force Awakens and the Last Jedi. Really, this was actually the most enjoyable of the sequel trilogy, in my opinion, and overall felt like the most authentic Star Wars movie since Episode 3 or Rogue One (I haven't seen Solo though). Yes, it still had moments that felt weird and honestly shouldn't be in the movie like the Last Jedi, but there weren't nearly as many as in the previous movie and they weren't always consistently awful (and some even had redeeming parts). Furthermore, it was the most original and enthralling story of the sequels and had some really great moments as well (unlike the tedious and subpar Force Awakens).… Expand

Johnson had taken it in a meaningless direction which departed wildly from the heart and soul of Star Wars. When you watch a Star Wars film, you are looking for a mythical story, not a modern cautionary tale. This is why Johnson's take on Star Wars made no sense. He departed from expectations in a way that did no service to the story. Abrams did his best to reset the course. The film does feel rushed in some ways, because Abrams sadly wasn't able to lay the groundwork for his big reveals in the second installment. A key reveal regarding Rey's parentage was not explained with as much detail as it warranted. However, nonetheless, this film had heart and magic. It depicts Rey's inner turmoil beautifully, and Ben Solo's complexity is depicted masterfully as well. The supposed critic consensus on this movie is baffling. I'm not quite sure what movie they think they are evaluating. This is supposed to be Star Wars, a story that is ultimately classic in form at its heart. And that is precisely what Abrams has accomplished.… Expand
