A movie made without a plan and it shows. I had to push myself to sit through the entire movie. There was maybe a half dozen moments where I considered just walking out of the "movie".!!!!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gotta day, this movie was an improvement from the last Jedi, but it was not a good Star Wars movie. The whole movie was incredibly rushed through, no explanations for anything including rey’s force powers or training, we got a small look into leia’s jedi history and instead of going with legends we go with a “nah just not feeling it” backstory? This movie could have been done a lot better had it just taken the time to end it with a true rise of a skywalker, not the rise of some Mary Sue that doesn’t have any real training… Expand

Stop. Just stop. Kathleen Kennedy needs to go, put someone competent who actually appreciates Star Wars in charge such as Dave Filoni. The movie spits on everything we have grown up to know and love.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every time the characters encounter a problem, the solution is magically given to them. They hardly have to exert themselves. This feels like a fanfic that was created by someone who watched the original trilogy two times and thought they could make something Star Wars. Well, there is no George Lucas in this, there is no heart in this, and they took every shortcut in the book.

If this were a D&D campaign, the characters rolled nat 20s through the whole movie, and pulled off the biggest **** Their emotions did not make sense and they flip flopped more than Mitt Romney. They even botched the death scene for Carrie Fisher. How you can even botch that is beyond me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Palpentine randomly appears in title credits with no build up following a fortnite event (just wtf). Writing is terrible. The editing needed tightening to make more sense, lots unanswered questions and lots of predictable events. No twists other than your parents are no one but ur grandad is the emperor, the emperor having sex is the highest twist of the film . Someone "just felt it" like 10 times this film. Rey never goes evil, would of been a great twist and a cool fight. Light saber randomly fixed from last film. Lando flies the whole galaxy and finds a million ships in 30 mins just after last movie when no one came. No one dies. Best part of the whole film is where rey uses lightening. The only surprising and cool part of the film.

Final fight is bad, 1 saber not enough..2 Sabres suddenly enough. The emperor lightning himself for the 3rd time. Planet destroyers for the 4th time. Batman vs superman writer is obsessed with mothers in fight scenes, happens atleast twice. It's the same as batman vs superman in reverse. Knights of the ren seemed pointless and bad, just to sell toys. Compare knights of the ren with snokes guards, who were much more entertaining. You can blow up big ship by shooting its gun with a tiny one. Only 1 ship in huge fleet has gps. Did I mention there are no plot twists and no one dies. Rey going evil was a major dick tease as that would of been good writing. Finn ends up seeming pointless, never see what he wanted to say to rey. Rose randomly in the film. Waiting for falcon, turns up 2 mins later... just edit that line and make space for.. actual plot?

The visuals are great, the directing could be better and just seems very forced and the writing is absolute garabage. Why hire that superman v batman morob is beyond me. And why did they do the sony route of trying to.copy marvel with different directors but cram it in 5 years. No consistent vision throughout the films. Promising but with a better writer and more coherent directing, could of been so so much better. Instead we are left with a rushed crammed mess full of things that make no sense with zero sense of suspense or drama. It seems a lot of poor choice made by the movie executives trying to copy marvel, leading to a bland plot and a disjointed trilogy as a whole.

Also everyone can start healing everyone now, so why Darth Vader became Darth Vader to save his gal is apparently pointless cos he could of just touched her and breathed. That would not have mattered if they hadn't kept reffering to vader over and over. You really could go on with the flaws and missed potential with this film and trilogy. The 2nd one (TLJ) was probably the best as it had great duels and actual plot twists. Evil rey.. just a lil tease but could of been really good.

The writer and director needs to go in the bin. The visual effects are brilliant. So much potential wasted, so so sad. A crammed rushed movie with a very very weak plot with no surprises except the opening credits with palpentine randomly back. The visuals are its redeeming qualities so that brings it up to a 2.… Expand

DuelingPistolDec 20, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Help us Baby Yoda, you're our only hope. The Rise of Skywalker is like a fat kid with the keys to a candy store. Everything looks shiny and wonderful to begin with, but after 20 minutes you're not swallowing it. You're choking on the reality that this is going to make you sick. For weeks. The script is terrible. The pacing is frantic yet boring at the same time. The characters are still two-dimensional. And no one really dies now – just our hope. There are a few good moments (the arrival of the larger "people's" fleet, the ocean light sabre battle and Chewie's anguish), but they're lost among dull dancing kite-loving aliens, long boring speeches, a mindless McGuffin quest, and giddy up, space horsies. (Give an Oscar to that angry horse that tells BB8 to bugger off. Best acting in the film.) Rey's big parental reveal lacks any emotional intensity. Palpatine's first appearance has no build up and hence no impact. Wedge appears for two seconds. R2D2 gets less time than some robotic hair dryer who adds zero – yes, zero – to the movie. And the porgs are back. Not spit roasted either.
Hux is an embarrassing afterthought. Lando is underused. What on Endor are the ewoks even in the film? And the Knights of Ren – space goths with nothing to do – skulk around and look scary but miss the chance several times to kill the good guys. Nice that they have staves but no guns. Must come in handy at the baton twirling competitions.
Amazingly, the two new female characters (who are really cool) get next-to-no screen time, despite Kathleen Kennedy's push that the "Force is female". Did someone say "Captain Phasma"?
They're brushed aside for complete dullard characters like bearded pilot Snap Wexley and that Hobbit bloke – you know the one. Nope? They and the giant alien sea cucumber in the background of the Falcon have the appeal of those giant waving air sock men you see outside used car lots.
When Wexley dies by being shot out the sky and crashing into a star destroyer, I cheered. A Canto Bight donkey died somewhere for me thinking that, but hey, hopefully the universe is a safer place.
Worse, the film seems to be a poor knock-off of Twilight. Rey is Bella Swan, but instead of being fought over by a vampire and a werewolf, her affections are torn between a Sith and stormtrooper. Awww. And just like Twilight, the pasty-faced white male wins; remarkable, considering that he's responsible for the death of tens of thousands of people.
Whoops. Move along, nothing to see here.
Oh, and did Finn ever tell Rey what he wanted to say? Maybe, "Can you use the Force to get us out of this disaster?"
Sniffy "mainstream" reviewers claim that The Rise of Skywalker panders to fans, but then again, missing the great irony that isn't that what big franchises (and indeed, movies) rely on. We buy the tickets, they don't. And as fans, Disney has a major headache in convincing us to keep buying those tickets moving forward.
Time to put the lightsaber through some Disney executives careers and sack the entire writing team as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many questions. Rey is so OP it doesn't make sense to take anyone to fight with her. When they fall through the sand into the underground cave, why doesn't the sand fall through the hole as well? Why are Star Destroyers as powerful as the Death Star? Why is the entire fleet of Star Destroyers hidden under the ice on Exogul, a planet so hard to find that you need an old school nav system to find out? Why are the Star Destroyers only able to be piloted if they are in communication with a puny antennae or the "mothership" and when the "mothership" goes down why are these massive technologically advanced ships rendered useless? Is it the hive queen from Ender's Game? I don't even know. Just hope this is Disney's last Star Wars movie. Ugh.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so where to begin? It’s revealed that Luke and Lando knew about Palpatine and the hidden Sith planet and set about trying to find it, but didn't tell anyone else, including their good pals Han and Chewie, yep ok. They came quite close to finding the pyramid thing to show them the way to the hidden planet, so close that Luke wrote it down in some Jedi journal, but, did not share this information with his sister Leia, who was still the leader of the resistance, and was also a Jedi trained by Luke, ok makes total sense so far. Then for some reason Luke goes in hiding on a remote planet. when Rey the new hope arrives and he trains her he again fails to tell Rey the bigger picture, yep perfect. But on the other side, Palpatine creates a super force out of basically nothing for um "reasons" and waits in the shadows for the final order, waiting for the sake of just waiting (he executes the final order before Rey arrives, so he wasn’t waiting for her). This is all kept a secret from Kylo because Palpatine wants to use him to lure Rey somehow so he can pursuade her, his granddaughter its revealed (uh huh yep) to kill him so that….....meh seriously I cannot even finish this plot review, it is such a disservice to the original trilogy, prequels, and even to episodes 7 & 8. Basically the whole prequel build up of Anakin/Vader to the eventual redemption/sacrifice of Vader/Anakin meant nothing because Palpatine miraculously lived anyway.

This is what happens when you make up crap as you go. Do us all a favor Disney and admit your mistakes and start again with a well thought out plot that makes sense for all 9 movies, with George Lucas’s input. It gets 2 points for the little alien dude.

BTW if force healing or whatever it’s called is a thing....why didn't Luke just put his hands on Anakin at the end of Episode 6 and um heal him, like Rey did to Kylo??… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ALL THE LEAKS ARE TRUE.... The movie is filled with action and very good visual effects. If you don't care about the plot and you like a lot of action , then it's maybe it's a 4 or 5/5 stars for you. Rey keeps being overpowered , she levitates wih the force at the beginning but it never does it again. She heals and throws force lightning , without need of training on it before. Palpatine is somehow alive an connected to a machine (never explained how) . Rey and Kylo can teleport things between them with the force (somehow). All in the movie progresses only for convenience, not for real development. Palpatine made somehow an army of thousands of Star Destroyers, each with cannons as powerlful as the death star. But conveniently , the Star Destroyers can't activate their shields in the atmosphere (Why?) and very conveniently destroying 1 star destroyer leaves the entire fleet useless. Palpatine is powerful enough to attack all the rebel fleet with Force lightning, but Rey can repel his attack easy to him (after listening all the jedi of the past) , causing an explosion. Kylo heals Rey, they kiss, and Kylo dies. The Resistance wins, the imperial fleet of the "Final order" is defeated easily. At least Chewbacca gets his medal. Rey at the end gets a yellow lightsaber and says "I'm Rey...Rey Skywalker"… Expand

While the prequel trilogy got its fair share of justifiable criticism, it's one saving grace was the grand narrative (the rise of darth vader, the emperor and the empire) that tied everything together and engaged the fans. This sequel trilogy—perfectly summed up in the rise of skywalker—is an incoherent mess with absolutely no substance, depth, or character development. A truly awful movie, and this is coming from someone who is a massive star wars fan. I naively had faith that they would do right in this movie and right the wrongs of the last two movies. How wrong I was. Safe to say that I'm absolutely gutted right now. In terms of the story, we are almost in exactly the same place as we were at the end of Return of the Jedi, with two exceptions: Disney will be several billion dollars richer, and many star wars fans will have given up on the franchise completely. Oh, and for the record, I think Daisy Ridley is a very poor actress. I never felt any connection to her character in any of the three sequel films. Terrible, just terrible.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie with an open mind, really hoping that JJ could somehow finesse this ending after the depths of hell that Rain Johnson left it in. I was bitterly disappointed. Where I left the theatre of TLJ mad this time it's just frustration. From the opening crawl announcing that Palpatine was inexplicably back from the dead to Kylo and Rey kissing this movie was an absolute disaster from a story and plot perspective. Having this movie center around the most used villain in Star Wars and then again turn the story so that he is the penultimate bad guy is just ridiculous in my opinion. This movie did not close anything, in fact none of the movies in this current trilogy have added anything to the Star Wars universe. The best character that they created was Ben Solo, who got maybe 3 minutes of screen time before getting killed off in most likely the worst scene in Star Wars ever - first Rey dies, oh wait Ben is using the force to bring her back! Wow they kiss the crowd goes wild! Wait Ben is dead now! I just about walked out of the theatre at that point. This movie has its moments, but is always followed with an over the top/non sensical moment that sours the great scene that came before it. The battle between Kylo and Rey is a perfect example. Its a great lightsaber battle and ends in dramatic fashion with Rey stabbing Kylo in the stomach. But literally 3 seconds after the shot of him getting stabbed she somehow uses the force to heal his wound. I mean talk about not letting a scene breathe it was honestly obscene. The more I tried to just relax and enjoy the more I found myself hating it. Seriously, could be worse than TLJ.… Expand

Thanks toReview Title - The movie that should've been a 6 to 8 45 minute episodes mini series. No spoilers - went to see the epic conclusion last night, had high hopes after seeing how Disney wrapped up the Avengers, but boy was I wrong. Thanks to EP8, EP9 never had a chance to properly tell it's own story, but try to mostly course correct where they wanted to have the story, and not tell a story that evolved out of EP8. Since the very start of the movie, the action, the dialogue, the interactions and even actors emotions needed to be rushed or dulled just to get to the next thing. Small things that are totally blown out of proportions and in the end don't matter at all or don't even impact the story midway movie on. It is quite very apparent that there have been reshoots done, as the final result is basically just pieced together out of these small sections only to advance the story. It feels more like a entire season of a series (like the Mandalorian) just pieced together and call it a movie. Breaking down the entire plot scene by scene would have yielded overall a better series with the same story, leaving maybe more time for tensions and emotions to really take over; have a true impact made by some decisions in the movie, as some don't even matter 2 scenes later. As it is right now, action packed, dull, rushed and predictable character development in a single movie, lack of impact on half of the decisions everyone makes, and a somewhat unpleasant wrap up makes this movie the "I should have been a short mini series or 2 part movie to begin with".… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So…let me get this straight. Anakin Skywalker died for nothing. And Rey has god like powers now. The emperor is alive, somehow, and it’s never truly explained in detail. Why Is this a problem? If the heroes don’t have a definitive way of stopping him, then how do we truly know if Palpatine is dead. Not to mention the fact that Rey, someone with very little experience could best the emperor. Just as a reminder; Mace Windu and several jedi knights lost, Yoda lost, Luke lost. What about Vader’s way finder.??? If Vader was aware of Palpatine’s secret hiding spot, why didn’t he tell luck in Return of the Jedi, “Luke, he might still be alive. We need to check this spot where he had a contingency plan. Here’s my way finder to get there.” But I guess that’s just a plot hole. Ohh and the emperor announces that he has returned. WHY????? “Hey everyone, the emperor here, I’m alive. And yea, don’t try to stop me.” I guess the emperor is just mentally challenged. Why would he announce his presence? Why not sneak attack with all those death star/star destroyers.???? And we still don’t know the state of the galaxy. Honestly this trilogy has a oceans worth of problems. & its obvious that this trilogy wasn’t planned the they continue to ignore the lore.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give it a 1 because they at least made a movie. With great dialogue like Hux saying "I am the spy." This movie was a laughable disaster. You will get more entertainment watching the burning wreckage of the Star Wars franchise from afar then you would from watching this movie. This movie completely destroys any emotional resolution that the Return of the Jedi created.… Expand

You cannot make a boring uninspired premise in the first part of the trilogy, **** it up in every conceivable way in the second part and expect to compensate in the finale of a trilogy simply by pumping up the pace by 300%. The movie is a mess. Palpatine´s plan is retarded from the get go and the very fact he even is in the movie is exactly as it sounds before you even watch it... It doesnt make sense and its incredibly forced and obvious he´s simply there to make up for the **** up that was Snoke´s character and demise. The previous movies made lightsabers a joke and this one adds the force to the things disney sw ruined. There are no rules and no limitations, especially if you´re Rey. Other than that, the movie is nice to look at, though you better not think about what you´re looking at. Just enjoy the visuals. And Rey is also nice to look at, which is ofc the only interesting thing about her "character". Make yourself forget this trilogy exists and I promise your life will be fundamentally better for you as a person and a SW fan.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For once I actualy nearly agree with the overall critic score as this movie comes in at just under a 5/10 for me.

Positives:
Some great visuals/CGI
Good musical score

Negatives:
Very weak and overstuffed plot with massive leaps in logic and story telling
Some truly terrible acting/dialogue cuts, especialy in the first half an hour to hour of the movie
Some lackluster CGI in places
Extremely tame and dissapointing lightsaber fights (especialy as they were promoting this so hard as the "best lightsaber fight in star wars history")
A truly cringy level of fan service from Rose being taken out of the story to Chewie getting a medal -_-
Poor pacing and too long
Complete disregard for Star Wars lore (not as much as TLJ but still bad)
Poor explanation of character motivations
Lazy and careless killing off of Princess Leias character

Overall this felt like a Disney script through and through and played it exceptionaly safe. Not as bad as episode 8 but by no means a must watch or even comparable to the original 6 movies. Very dissapointing conclusion to one of the most loved franchises in the world.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is very sad indeed, as i kinda liked 7th episode and even 8th had something in it. But whether 9th episode is so dumb, or is it just my overall patience ended from Disney franchise..
I went to cinema with quite low expectations as i saw some reviews, and was prepared to enjoy it as it is. But om my god, i was not prepared. Very dump storytelling, placeholders, things to make us like the movie like "Here is Lando, yeeee!".
Silly return of Palpatin who of course dies. Dump new power of Jedi, which even 500year old Yoda did not posses. Blank characters who you will not care at all...
I give it a 3 just because of the stunning visual and music, and because actors tried their best, although writing of the characters ruined it.… Expand

It's like they had 12 writers split up and write twelve parts, and then they just mashed it all together. To glue the mess onto a shared board they shoe-horned Palpatine. But hey, that is what I saw.

JESUS CHRIST was that a focking sh*t-show. Retrospectively, I guess The Last Jedi didn't leave a lot of open threads hanging for the last movie to tie up, but holy sh*t, there had to be a better way to conclude the most beloved movieJESUS CHRIST was that a focking sh*t-show. Retrospectively, I guess The Last Jedi didn't leave a lot of open threads hanging for the last movie to tie up, but holy sh*t, there had to be a better way to conclude the most beloved movie franchise of all time than this.

The amount of retconning going on from the very first second of the film is INCREDIBLE, deserving probably of a Guiness World Record. Apparently, lots and lots of things have been happening off-screen, in secret, while nobody was looking, for years and decades. There are now also officially no limits anymore to what the force can or cannot enable you to do, it all depends on what is convenient for the plot in that very moment.

The pacing is totally off. In the first hour, your head will be spinning from everything that is happening and getting explained to you and you will already feel like you're approaching a finale at the 60 min mark, then the movie goes on for 90 mins more.

The writing is simply atrocious. Stupid, cliché-laden one liners are found a-plenty and some conflicts between characters are just conjured up out of thin air because the movie needs some tension and would be boring otherwise. Instead of finding a way to get us to care about the motivations of the main characters we've been following for the entire trilogy, more unnecessary side characters are introduced that serve no real purpose. The plot is extremely predictable and formulaic and the whole affair feels like a giant check-list of things that have to happen, characters that have to appear one more time, call-backs that have to be made, because, you know, this is THE LAST ONE!!! Which I kind of get, but all these things are done in such a heavy-handed and uninspired way that it just makes you roll your eyes. The whole experience feels very much like "watching a movie", which is to say, inorganic and not immersive. You as the viewer are constantly aware that everything that happens and is said doesn't arise naturally out of the given circumstances and the characters and their personalities and motivations, but only takes place to fulfill a certain purpose for the plot. I don't know if it is possible to come down much harder on a film's writing than this.

"this is THE LAST ONE!!!"
Except, now that I think about it, it probably isn't the last one at all, because Disney is going to keep milking this cash cow until there's absolutely no more milk left in its udders and it collapses on the floor from pure exhaustion. And then some more.

Conclusion: Please don't waste your money by seeing this in the theater. Even if you're a hardcore Star Wars fan, it'll just break your heart. If I hadn't seen Rambo: Last Blood, this would be my worst movie of the year. 2 points are for the incredible CGI, John Williams' music, and actors that try to make the most of what they've been handed (which isn't much).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My beef with the new trilogy is that the directors/writers never sat down together to outline the stories so they would all connect. This seriously hurt this trilogy and it really shows in this movie. Within the first 15 minutes we have an entirely new plot line, which takes a good hour to unpack. There’s explanation upon explanation, even characters thoughts are explained by other characters. At the end of the day this movie is a collage of non stop action sequences. Like an extended trailer that never allows us to really connect with the characters. Rey and Ren have been the most interesting in these movies, but unfortunately their arcs feel rushed robbing the audience of emotional connection and lessening the impact of the grand finale. Normally I see each new Star Wars movie 2-3 times in theaters. Once was enough for this one.… Expand

It combines completely ridiculous elements and abandoned the arc of the previous two films in the Sequel Trilogy saga. A disrespect to Carrie Fisher and her family. Full of fanfare and the use of death of Kylo Ren as shock value, leaving a bleak message that anyone who atones for their mistakes must finally die anyway. Warning: might make your kids cry since the death happens near the end. anyway.… Expand

I hate it since I spentI'm at the age where I don't want to pay to see a silly movie in the theatre and rather spend it more on the movies that actually does. This movie is silly and ridiculous to me to the point that I could not ignore it. I hate it since I spent money on the thing that I wanted to avoid.

I'm just a casual fan. I could understand if somehow it is rated higher because you're a huge fan. But still I can't take it seriously if the rating is more than 5 given the horrendous plot, pacing etc.

There's no weight in this movie. Scene changes to another scene to another scene to keep the movie going. There's no structure in the scene and you could feel it is only acted out not because the actors are bad, but what's written for them is bad.

The plot and dialogue are cliche as hell and you could see it from miles coming. The characters are just saying things and it really felt scripted and just there to serve. The actions, dialogue, etc. Nothing is earned, it is given. Useless story line, characters and settings.

It's really laughable. Some plots are even questionable. Characters just know things, have things without further explanation and it's silly as hell. They tell you things and you just have to accept it because it's supposed to be awesome and what not and because they tell you.

It's an empty spectacle and I'm not the one to be swayed just because it's a pretty visual. The movie is pandering to the audience and fans and it is worse at that. Just because it's Star Wars it should not be okay!

I'm giving it 2 stars because of very few scenes that I liked. I could feel the weight of that few scenes and it have the potentials to be blossomed into something much better. Instead, it's overshadowed by all of the ridiculous mess from this movie.

Screw Reylo. The conclusion to that bond is not earned at all. It feels empty and just a tada! factor in the movie. I wanted that bond to be better and not just for dramatic purposes!

To end it in a positive note: Damn, Adam Driver is hot as Kylo Ren in this! Gonna go and watch The Marriage Story again since that movie is way better than this.… Expand

How is it that there was no coherent plan for these movies? How were the sequels passed around to different directors for them to do as they please? One would think that Disney should have a degree of competence commensurate with such a sacred cultural item - but apparently not. This is proof that most conspiracy theories, which require extreme competence to be believable, are in fact explained away by the sheer incompetence of those involved.… Expand

Hopefully Disney learns from this and goes in with a plan next time, as it is clear from these three films that there was not an overarching story for this trilogy. That's on Disney, that's on JJ for turning down the trilogy.
