Could have been a lot better but also a lot worse. They steered clear of politics and tried to appease fans by answering questions from the previous two movies. They created a lot extra questions at the same time.

Ive rated this highly as I go to the movies to be entertained. I was very entertained. I went into the screening a huge fan of 40 years and came out just as big a fan.
I could pick fault in the movie and even agree to an extent with some of the harsher reviews. That been said, the decisions made by Abrahams and co, were a fraction of the infinite possibilities. He took it one way and no one was going to agree on the correct way, if there was one. Ultimately, he has made a fast paced, enjoyable, great looking, proper Star Wars movie. And boy was there a lot of Star Wars in it.
I would like to see a second version of this movie, continuing The Last Jedi themes and without all the RetCons. But taken at face value, I left the movie theatre a happy Star Wars fan.… Expand

I agree that there was a lot of fan service, and it was a bit hurried, but I haven't had this much fun in a star wars movie since episode 6. People are saying that they don't even mention the things that happened in the prequels, and it doesn't pick up exactly where episode 8 left off, and to that I say, who cares? The prequels were a hot mess that did nothing but complicate things from The originals for the sake of giving an explanation for questions nobody ever asked for. And episode 8 was uninteresting, unsuprising, and completely derailed everything 7 had set up. At least this had some continuity to the overall arch. Look, this movie is not perfect. But it's fun. It's satisfying. It's Star Wars. If you like lightsaber fights, force standoffs, space battles, whitty banter, and classic good vs evil, you will LOVE this movie. Go see it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It had a lot of nostalgic and emotional moments to bring the saga full circle. I liked better than TLJ. The passing on the torch story with Luke and Rey was better.
Palpatine seemed forced in because of fans. They disliked that Rey was force sensitive and her parents were nobodies. So to explain how she was force sensitive they made her the grandchild of Palpatine.
It was fast paced and felt like an exciting Star Wars movie. It had spaceship battles, lightsaber duels, and Sith vs. Jedi. I'm ok with how it end and glad the people behind it isn't going to continue and Skywalker story.
Should stick story new story, characters and timelines to not such high expectations to meet.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this film twice now and probably by January 8, 2020, I will definitely watch it again. To be honest, I really enjoyed the film so much, that I kept on listening that original motion picture soundtrack and also watching The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi again, just to see its cohesiveness in the whole sequel trilogy and the Skywalker saga. I also bought the novelization for The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens, and will definitely but this film's novelization. I got hooked on Star Wars again as you can see.

There was a lot of nostalgia and I pretty much didn't feel the fan service many critics and other fans were saying. I just focused on the whole story itself. At first viewing, I needed to digest all that's happened in the film, because there are a lot of things going on. But when I watched it again, it all makes sense now. And I pretty enjoyed indeed.

This is not the best Star Wars movie nor the worst Star Wars movie. That's a guarantee. But for me, this ninth installment really wrapped up the whole Skywalker saga. The irony though is that the title is THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (referring to Rey, originally a Palpatine but decided to take the name that really helped her in her Jedi training and her entire life), but this is the end of the Skywalker saga. I'm pretty sure there will be more stories about Rey Skywalker and I am excited for that one.

J.J. Abrams did a fantastic job in creating this emotional, breathtaking and epic conclusion to the franchise. A lot of jaw-dropping happenings, shocking revelations, awesome space battles and of course, the lightsaber duels are spot-on.

Without a doubt, The Rise of Skywalker is a roller-coaster ride and will definitely watch it over and over again.

I don't care about the mixed reviews on this. Abrams can't please anyone. I don't care if it opened at the box office domestically at $170 million dollars or something. This will hit a billion dollar mark and that's a guarantee. For me, this is a film to remember that will be passed on from this generation and to the future generations.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm aware that the critics haven't rated this very highly, but I truly believe it to be one of the best star wars movies yet. Considering the heap of issues it had to resolve from the last one, JJ did an excellent job at making an enjoyable storyline and keeping the whole thing entertaining. Whilst fast paced at times, this is more than understandable since they needed to redo half of the last movie too! I've spent almost the whole of the Disney franchise hating Kylo, and not in a good way. Sometimes there are villains you love to hate, Kylo wasn't one of these. I just hated him. And I've never switched my opinion on a character so fast that in this movie. It wasn't even down to the twist that happens, I loved him from the start. From an annoying character, JJ has made a genuinely sympathetic and confused guy. Loved it!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think what was done in Star Wars the Last Jedi really compromised this movie to be what it was. The main **** in the eighth movie was to kill Snoke, because if we to compare Snoke was the Palatine of the original trilogy and Kylo Ren was the Darth Vader, meaning it was as if in the second film the Palpatine would be dead. This brought a tremendous challenge for JJ in this new star wars, he had to have someone bigger than Kylo and his solution was to put Palpatine in again, but JJ didn't have much time to explain everything, he tried to correct the **** done in the eighth movie. This movie didn't have the time needed to do something that would need to be done, to explain everything would take 3, 4 hours and the movie had just 2 and a half hours. In the midst of this complexity I think JJ did a good job and the movie shouldn't be getting all this bad review, for me this movie is 8. I'm sorry about my English.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Laddies and Gentlemen. George Lucas' masterpiece has been ruined. With the laziest and most predictable movie I have ever seen. Leia's death is the laziest writing I have ever seen and Rey's overall character developement is non exsistant. Save your money. Go watch something else at the cinema. Awful. So turns out that Annakin wasn't the chosen one. Screw this triology!… Expand

Una Película que quizás le decepcionó a la crítica, en lo personal me gustó, pero no es de las mejores de la saga, pero si la mejor desde que Disney compro la marca. Tiene escenas buenas como en todo episodio, y un final "adecuado".

It is not as bad as people say it is! It feels like an ok closure to an average story. Feels like it was better than Star Wars 7 or 8.

It's a great movie! By far the best of the trilogy.
The end is a little disappointing but quickly forgotten by the intensity of the preceding scenes.
the acting is really good.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Film Review:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

I was eighteen years old in the early summer of 1977 when Star Wars dropped like a cannonball into our laps. Both of my parents were still alive, and my brother’s mental illness had not yet shattered our family and sent my father to his early grave. As a group, we’d watched the last episode of Gunsmoke just two years prior, my Dad’s favorite show hands-down for most of its run, only falling off during those jaded Watergate years and our final disillusion with the Vietnam War. Then, suddenly, Star Wars arrived unannounced with its clear water morality—love not hate, courage over fear, loyalty to friends and common cause, and an appeal for simple faith in the universal connected-ness of all things. It felt childlike beside that era’s gritty, American cinema verité films like Chinatown (1974), Dog Day Afternoon (1975) and Report to the Commissioner (1975). But, oh, how strong that simple appeal! In Star Wars, we found classic characters bound in common struggle against evil at high odds. The Kid, the rogue with the heart-a-gold, the princess—and we reveled in their unlikely success as they did, reassured that faith, courage, loyalty, and a little luck will stand against evil even at terrible odds. Still, Star Wars felt like a simple, rousing tale, but for The Empire Strikes Back (1980), which grounded the Force in family. All at once, my father’s disappointment came clear, as did my resentment and confusion over my new role as the family’s savior in the aftermath of my brother’s affliction, a brother whose every step I followed like a trail blazed through adolescence. The tears I saw flowing on my father’s face bewildered, and the things I shouted over my shoulder, and he at me, stung, as I stormed out unaware that I would never see him again.

With The Rise of Skywalker, director J.J. Abrams understands one thing, clearly: forty years have passed since an American generation of young people marveled at those early Star Wars films. He knows that those young people have grown into middle age and that many have confronted life’s hard equations: that you cannot go back, that some opportunities never recur, and that you cannot unspeak harsh words you have said to those who have died. The Rise of Skywalker’s plot may feel derivative, its conventions rehashed, and its refusal to realize the story lines set out in The Last Jedi (2017) frustrating, but such things are small beer. They barely register next to Princess Leia’s final connection to, and Han Solo’s recovery of, their lost son; Ben’s reawakening to the love within him, and Rey’s final thrust to set things right while all the Jedi speak within her. For those of us who cannot stand beside the ‘force ghosts’ of our dead mothers and fathers and brothers, in conversation, and speak the loving truths we wish we could, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker rings our bell. J.J. Abrams knows well the film he has made for us, bless his heart. Michael D. Phillips… Expand

The Stream: The uninspired storytelling fell flat and leaves you wanting more.

The Big screen: The action sequences are still priceless.

The Final Bill: The story ends, whether you like it or not, but you’ll be entertained.

-S2S

Stream to Big Screen, welcome back you are. This week we are reviewing the long awaited third film of the newest trilogy from the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. This movie reprises the roles of many of the cult classic’s favorites dating back to the 70s. But let’s get to the review.

Honestly, this movie is a letdown for the Disney/Lucasfilm’s brand. In a way this felt like the producers just going through the motions to end this neverending story. My sentiment is definitely heighten coming off of Disney’s other colossal film product, Avengers: Endgame, from this summer. You can’t “end” one properly and just let the other suffer. I’m not sure who dropped the ball on this but we had a movie where all of the stakes were on the line and it felt completely lifeless. We went from planet to planet, searching for their Maltese falcon that will save us… just to realize we have to find something else insignificant to eat up 20 minutes of theater time. We get your formula Star Wars… particularly in this trilogy. But for 2 hours plus, we end up at the obvious ending and they still expect us to be wowed. I think the diehard fan base, which I am not even though I’ve seen all of the movies except Solo, deserves much more than what they got from this film. Even in the scenery, nothing new was even explored in this film. Same old desert, rain forest etc. One thing I did enjoy about the last Star Wars film Last Jedi was the scenery they gave us. That red salt scene at the end… hot fire. This movie not so much. And don’t even get me started on the lame acting in this movie.

Now don’t get me wrong, the story of Star Wars in this recent trilogy is annoying at best but it’s still a wonder to see visually on the big screen. This movie does have some really good, yet unoriginal action scenes, throughout. Who doesn’t love racing around spaceships, lightsaber duels, endless inaccurate blaster shots by the bad guys. No seriously, even though I was bored with the movie, I was enthralled by the constant barrage of action and entertainment.

Long story short, nothing I could say would stop a Star Wars fan from seeing this movie. So let them enjoy their big popcorn. Everyone else, you have to have seen all of the other movies to understand whats going on. So it’s not worth wasting the theater monies on this film. Check it out on Disney+, if you ever catch up on the other installments of Star Wars.

May the force be with you.… Expand

It often feels as though it is scrambling to please everyone it can, and in doing so succeeds in pleasing few. By lacking any sense of identity or purpose, it brings the disjointed trilogy to a stumbling conclusion. While visually stunning, with a phenomenal soundtrack, the movie fails to provide much logic or reason to what happens. Ultimately, if you just go along for the ride, this will be a fun, visually impressive move. Yet, if you are hoping for more than spectacle, you will be disappointed.… Expand

Yeah, this movie isn't very good. Retconning, misusing classic Star Wars music in a lazy attempt to invoke some sense of importance for the big scenes... blegh. It's watchable, but its nowhere near as good as VII or VIII.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy where do I begin? This is a terrible movie somehow I rated Matrix Revolutions higher than this. Let's get started:

1) Palpatine What was the point in bringing him back, no explanation except: Somehow Palpatine returned. That is actually a line of dialogue in the movie. 2) Retconing TLJ
Now I absolutely loved TLJ and Rian Johnson direction with the franchise and we get no explanation why it is no longer canon it just is by the time the film begins. Everything in TLJ is just thrown away for the sake of crybaby fanboys who didn't like Luke in TLJ and a whole mess of fan service. 3) Kylo Ren TLJ gave us an amazing arc for Kylo Ren killing Snoke off proclaiming he's done with having a master, becoming free from any judgment by an authority figure was all great and what do they decide to do with that storyline? NOTHING, absolutely nothing. His master is now Palpatine all the story built from TLJ is all gone!


4) Fan Service Earlier I said that this film was full of unnecessary Fan Service, let's get started:
-Luke's character in TLJ is gone
-The Death Star is somehow in great shape -Han is back
-Lando is back with no explanation -TLJ is gone from Canon (Biggest fan service of them all)
-Rey is a Skywalker -And a whole lot more


5) The Ending At the end of the movie Rey goes back to Tatooine where Luke and Anakin were raised with Anakin/Luke and Leia's lightsaber in her hand and buries the lightsabers IN THE SAND that's right she buries the lightsabers in the SAND on the planet that they hated in the thing Anakin hated the most! Basically Rey gave a middle finger to Anakin and Luke and then she says she is a Skywalker!!! WTH!!!


6) J J Abrams Oh man J J Abrams one of my favorite directors (I'm being sarcastic) the man single handedly destroyed the two biggest space franchises in just 10 years. 10 YEARS!! That's got to be a world record. 7) This is the ending to Star Wars
Return of the Jedi was a triumphant ending to the original trilogy and 6 film saga, sure it fell short on The Empire Strikes Back but it still was a good film this however is a frustrating and terrible ending to a 40 Year franchise. There is no payoff at the end and it ultimately feels like a Disney crapped in the franchise right before our eyes. Truly disappointing ending and a disgrace to this once wonderful franchise… Expand

In this case, it's the 9s and 10s that seem to go out of their way to throw a dig at anyone who dared dislike this movie. Whenever I'm reading reviews, I take note of the side that is more often attacking the other, and know that's the side with the bad faith take.

Since everything has already been said ad nauseam about this movie by now, I thought I'd just throw out that little personal aside towards reviews, and maybe a few people will see it and take that into consideration going forward. After all, knowing which reviews are in good faith and which aren't will help to ensure only quality products are supported. Hopefully that'll one day lead to a return of giving fans what they want rather than telling them what they SHOULD want… Expand
