It's hard to put it all into a few words, but this movie was very disappointing. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan but I've seen the previous movies from years ago.

I'm not much of a Star Wars fan but I've seen the previous movies from years ago. This movie made me not want to see another Star Wars film again. It was poorly written, poorly paced, poorly casted and made absolutely no sense. It's a shame to see the Star Wars franchise turn into this mess.… Expand

Mediocre. Feels pretty clumsy, logic is flawed in many places. However, this film does contain some cool action sequences and great sound design.

In my group of friends/work colleagues I am one of the few who did not mind The Force Awakens or The last Jedi as much. Were they not as good as the original trilogy? Of course but I think it is safe to say that it will take ALOT for thoseIn my group of friends/work colleagues I am one of the few who did not mind The Force Awakens or The last Jedi as much. Were they not as good as the original trilogy? Of course but I think it is safe to say that it will take ALOT for those movies to be topped. However I went into The Rise Of Skywalker with a bit of a small expectation. I knew the movie was not going to be fantastic but the way this movie was advertised as the "Finale to the Skywalker Saga" gave me somewhat a BIT of hope. Instead, What I feel we got was two separate movies rolled together into one. The first half seemed to be "Damage Control" to the previous movie (By this I mean trying to fix what people were not happy about) and the second half felt more like a rush to get to the end. It is a shame because so many people are invested into this story as they have fond memories of it from childhood. That's not to say the movie is terrible as I don't think it is but it is easily the worst in the sequel trilogy (In my opinion) It felt like there was no main story flowing through these movies but instead different ideas just thrown in together and putting the "Star Wars" Name on it to make some money.… Expand

Not a great end to not a great trilogy. The trilogy was irreparably crippled from episode 8 and episode 9 was trying to band aid that. I love Palps character but his impact wasn't the same as it was in the original trilogy or even the prequelNot a great end to not a great trilogy. The trilogy was irreparably crippled from episode 8 and episode 9 was trying to band aid that. I love Palps character but his impact wasn't the same as it was in the original trilogy or even the prequel trilogy and the exegol part of the plot just didn't tie together that been said still not the worst of the sequels for me.… Expand

My main problem with TRoS is even when this is really not good movie,
completely doesn't work as a final for nine movie saga.
Instead of that - yeah this is just not good movie.

Mediocre, but better than The Last Jedi. It does seem to spend the first half correcting the mistake that was The Last Jedi.

Has a fun adventure. For me, everything to do with the Emperor is how many fans felt about Luke in Ep 8. The weakest of its trilogy. Anticlimactic and kind of flat.

The Rise of Skywalker feels a little too desperate sometimes, but is still a mostly satisfying way to end a middling trilogy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite having some decent performances, good special effects, the occasional cool-looking fights, and the same iconic Stars Wars theme music that plays throughout, The Rise of Skywalker has many flaws that are hard to ignore; Palpatine is suddenly alive again and a threat to our heroes despite having clearly been killed in the original trilogy because...the writers ran out of interesting villains to come up with? Rey can suddenly heal injured snakes with the force now because...magic looked cool in Harry Potter? Rey and Kylo suddenly kiss at the end because...every movie needs to have some romance in it? Lots of things just happen without any viable explanation or build-up purely to shock the audience. Still, it's definitely not the worst movie I've seen (I've seen much worse). But there's not a whole lot of positive things I can say about this messy, muddled story.… Expand

When I walked out of the cinema...after starting this whole saga as an 11yr old in 1977..I have to say that Disneys attempt of making Star Wars end like an Avengers finale just hurt

Lacking any real heart or substance, this one is primarily for the fans who only care to see people wacking each other repeatedly with laser swords.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A film all in all beautiful but disappointing if you look at the rest of the saga. There are enough moments of action and twists throughout the film but there are too many letes that almost fall asleep, then it's all very repetitive and most things seem already seen and others don't really have their heads. The special effects and acting are two wonderful aspects but the plot is perhaps a little disappointing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While with a nice concept and an excellent director, the ninth installment of the Star wars franchise has a lot of plot issues, like the thing Poe and Finn wanted to say, but no one heard even at the end of the movie.
If the script was a little bit more polished, this could have been the best movie form the series Overall a decent film.… Expand
