As someone that just enjoys some pew pew in their Star Wars movie, I enjoyed it.

This movie really falls apart when you start thinking about it, but this is not a movie that you really think about. Despite that, it has some absolutely great scenes! Plus, I just love Star Wars. 8.5/10 :star:

Worst star wars movie in my opinion, has cool scenes tho. I'm not the greatest fan of Star Wars but I didn't enjoy this movie the same as the other ones.

More in detail, I felt this movie completely ignored the past two. Palpatine's return came out of nowhere and doesn't make any sense, a lame choice in my opinion.
The plot wasn't as entertaining as the others, I had a slow feeling watching it.

5/10 for me, it's not horrendous as other people say, just a meh movie.

I enjoyed it, but I did so with a sizeable asterisk

is Rise of Skywalker a course correction or a flat-out apology? I'm leaning to the former, but there can be no doubt that much of what Last Jedi introduced into the canon has been unceremoniously discarded. Indeed, Rise is more of a sequel to J.J. Abrams's Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) than it is to Last Jedi, one or two major plot points notwithstanding, and whilst Last Jedi looked forward, clumsily introducing new concepts and themes to the franchise, Rise follows Force Awakens in doing the opposite – it looks back, and is chock-full of throwbacks and references to the previous films. And although I certainly enjoyed it as a spectacle (it looked and sounded exceptional in 3D IMAX), there's no doubt it's a deeply flawed piece of work. It's the kind of film that feels like it was created by a computer algorithm or a corporate committee trying to tick as many boxes as possible – rather than attempting something ambitious which fans might not like, it's far more concerned with trying to please everyone without offending anyone.

A pretty spectacle with little substance and tons of fanservice. A movie that tries to make bold decisions, only to backpedal from it a scene later.
The more you think about the story, the less sense it makes. Pretty scenes make this utter nonsense watchable at least.

(Warning: "Minor" rant incoming... :D)
Oh man, WTF did I just watch? Not sure what Star Wars is about anymore... I really wonder how they come up with those crazy ideas. I assume it must take a lot of brainstorming sessions. Watching this felt like they tried out a lot of different ideas simply because they could but didn't ask themselves if they should. It also felt like watching a lot of different movies (dark scenes with light flashes form DC, comedy by Marvel, drama from Romeo and Juliet, some fight scenes from The Matrix, etc.).

I tried to excuse a lot of tings during the first two movies but let's face it: IMO the story has become really bad really fast (I mean the first 6 movies had to be better, right?).

Anyway, the CGI was still great (but now I get why some hate CGI - but please don't, CGI is simply a tool and the hate should target those that try to hide a bad story with CGI and not the amazing CGI artists).

Whilst still serviceable, 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' disappointed me - it makes for a relatively limp finish to the sequel trilogy.

The plot is the biggest letdown. It's all over the place, it might have a good amount of action but the actual point of the film is uninteresting and feels like something we've seen before. The cast still do well amongst all that, but I can't say I'll remember a performance from this.

With that said, Daisy Ridley is the best thing about it. Adam Driver is fine, but his character doesn't interest me much at this point. John Boyega and Oscar Isaac felt underused, while Kelly Marie Tran is discarded almost completely. Richard E. Grant is a slight upgrade on Domhnall Gleeson, but not by much.

A shorter run time may have helped this, instead it feels kinda bloated and without much reasoning to be so. I don't dislike it, it's still just about what I'd describe as good, but given it's part of 'Star Wars' it should've been far greater - in my opinion, at least.

A good conclusion to the Star Wars third trilogy. That being said it’s a complete mess.

This should please everybody that hated episode eight.

But this is fluff that we could do without, and highlights why George Lucas And writer and Lawrence Kasdan are the masters.

It’s a Star Wars film by name, and Adam Driver saves the film.

The only thing that bothered me in this movie was that Rey renounced her parents' name who died to protect her. It's disrespectful and honestly she disappointed me, so I like her a little less now. I really thought she would see her parents and not Luke and Leia. I know Skywalkers are all gone now and the writers wanted someone to continue the legacy, but she could've just added the Skywalker name to the Palpatine and be Rey Palpatine Skywalker, that way she would be honoring both her parents and the Skywalkers and it would be a much better ending.

loading replies

It is very predictable and corny but I think it is a good movie, thus my rate. I found it a little longer than it should be. The plot is OK and the performances are good. Oscar Isaac does a very great job in the new trilogy. I really never connected with Rey but I didn't dislike her either. And John Williams deserves every single award in this planet.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - what a great name for a Star Wars movie. All the expectations, all the potential… ok it is just to obvious in what direction this is going to.

In a nutshell: I found myself with this "But why?" expression on my face in front of my TV. There is this one weird point I don't get about the reboot (sorry, but this is just a mash-up of episode 4-6) of the Star Wars franchise. On the one hand they made these spin-off movies like Rogue one. Good movie - seriously. I had the worst expectations after episode 7 but this one was a movie I enjoyed. Mandalorian - fine, too… and than they release this. What bugs me around most is that they can do it better but for some reason they fail - three times in a row. I'm not going into the detail here, it is not about acting (ok, maybe a bit…), style, CGI, or whatever. It is the writing (and to some point) and directing what messed up the whole thing.

I'm guessing a lot of the commenters are younger and not from the original trilogy. This one ended with the classic Star Wars ending, except they stole our happy ending. Rey and Ben should've ended together, but they had to end with the just the 3 like in the original instead of ending it the way it "started". Love story to tragedy to heroism to love story. Hell couldn't even end with Ben standing there with Luke and Leia.

Yes, still gave it a 9. Just missed the call on the ending

I have lost track of these stuff a very long time ago, i cannot keep up on what is a sequel, a prequel, a continue story, a parallel story and everything is on the altar of the franchise and money. So just for the movie. Not that bad. i cannot comment on what i have actually seen in terms of the saga but it was a blockbuster with full of battles , some stupid decisions, jokes so we can satisfy the kids and Disney, and Rey as the new superman. The force is not Harry Potter. At least we didn't have a lot of that douche-bag and totally untalented actor Mark Hamill.

loading replies

The worst ending for the best epic saga. The 3 main characters - Rey, Poe and Finn are unmatched to the likes of of Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo and Lando. Even the Emperor Palpatine is not as evil as the earlier Emperor. The final battle was far less thrilled and not as glorious as the final battle in Return of the Jedi. A very BIG disappointment. My overall rating for this movie 6. Would have been lesser if the movie is without Kylo Ren and the special appearances of Lando and Hans Solo.

loading replies

This movie made no sense. The resurrection, Rey's background, the ending. It was all over the place with absolutely no sense of continuity. And the most confusing parts are only there for fan service and have nothing to do with the continuing plot. It was a frustrating crash ending to a failing trilogy that started off with such potential.

loading replies

Much like its predecessor, The Rise of Skywalker is the fall of Star Wars.

The movie is just awful. It's like a 12 year old watched the original movies and cobbled together a superficial remake using every cliche known.

Then somehow got a mega budget for special effects.
The writing and characters are just so lame as to to be almost completely without substance.
Are there no adults involved in production of major motion pictures anymore?

Very much felt like watching an entire season of a show with just the exciting bits left in without any balancing dramatic interplay. Very much Disney movies become more like their themed rides which are bumpy and enjoyable but with little heart and soul. It brought about resolution after watching the first one in the cinema when it came out I suppose, and is the lightest touch of Wagnerian space opera. For that in its simple form it excels. My favourite movies will be the first three made, and bizarrely enough, Rogue One which I dismissed at the time as pointless, but now I feel excels all the rest even with the Plasticine Tarkin. The future of the Star Wars universe is now in the serial form, not movie, and it is here now it is, and will, be best rendered. 6/10.

I quite liked the movie. It was not as Disney cutesy as the previous new episodes. Also did conclude most of the story in a quite satisfactory way. Sad though that this was it. Story was fine. Not everything was perfect but well made. Definitely enjoyed it and was happy that it did not end in a happy-ever-after Disney fashion. :wink:

It was okay and it is way better than "The Last Jedi" without the bad comedy and a very fast pacing.

Too fast paced first quarter or so of the movie. Cheesy throughout. Tropes galore. Digging out an old 2nd hand voldemort type enemy for $reasons. Everything seems to have gotten some huge power creep. Quick unnecessary kiss at the end. Never particularly cared for Star Wars, but this trilogy was just not good.

This is a hard movie to review, I like it as in it's a good movie but it definitely has it's issues with pacing. At some points it feels like J.J. Abrams is trying to cram in 2 movies into one: a sequel to The force awakens and a continuation of that sequel.

All in all I'd say it's a good end to the "Skywalker" saga that could've been much better.

I don't understand the poor critical reception. This is 10 times better than The Last Jedi. I loved seeing some of the old characters in cameos.

Please go and enjoy the best SW movie is years. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you.

Not to sound like an entitled nerd, but I'm kind of upset with it. They did a Game of Thrones to this Star Wars series and the characters especially with Kylo Ren's character .

loading replies

Considering the almost cul-de-sac premise left behind by Rian in The Last Jedi, JJ still somehow manages to squeeze out something above par with all the trademarks we've come to expect from a Star Wars movie. Does it retcon the core premise and finality of its predecessor, which fought so hard to drive home its message of killing the past, and moving forward with your own legacy? Sure, but I'd argue that bridge needed to be burnt to produce something that is fitting of a 9 film saga finale. Minus all the baggage, TROS is a solid sci-fi spectacle piece that rushes and bumbles its way to the finish line, but damn it looks good while doing it.

loading replies

I enjoyed it, and I liked the characters much more than I have in the previous two movies, but overall this was a mess. It felt like a reactionary movie that's trying to "fix" things, rather than one with a clear goal in mind. As a result, they shoved way too much stuff into a it, and most of the story points didn't have a chance to breathe long enough for you to care what was happening. It would've been pretty good as 2-3 movies. Also, Palpatine and his massive hidden armada were ridiculous.

You'd think the largest media empire on earth could afford to plan out their goals for the largest franchise on earth a little better.

I was a big fan of the original Star Wars universe, which is full of great stories in books, comics, and video games. So why don't they just adapt those? Put Rey, Finn, & Poe in them instead of Luke, Leia, & Han.

It's a nice action movie that cuts on a lot of things to try and follow (or rectify) what was done in the previous two movies. I wasn't expecting too much of the story, but I wanted cool visuals and a lot of action and that's what I got. I think performances from the main actors were fine even though the characters and what they do isn't great. It's a fun movie provided you don't follow too closely every plot points that were set up previously or even in this very movie. Basically, the pace is weird and the story isn't cohesive, but the Star Wars stuff is nice.

loading replies

This latest installment of the Star Wars saga was by far better then the last jedi. The jokes in The Rise of Skywalker were good and placed at the perfect time unlike the last jedi which almost seemed to be spoofing its own movie. the story was what i as fan was expecting. if you are fan you know what i'm talking about. so would i recommend others spend there hard earned dollars to go watch this latest installment of Star Wars yes of course i would you won't be disappointed. The Rise of Skywalker is on equal par with The Force Awakens.

I gave this an 8 whereas it's a kind of a 6.5.

I did that because of the last 15 minutes especially that last line.

I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

Rey's Parentage kind of didn't make sense but I guess it was the best of worst options.

The good part and bad part of the movie is the same. Legacy. Seen that, heard that, what's new?

The thing that's gives you comfort also feels so deja vu. I want that and i don't want that.

I want something new but i get emotional if the old stuff is ignored.

I don't envy JJ Abrams. He did the best h cold with this 40 year old Americana.

I hate to say it and it hurts me to say it but at the end of the movie i was partially glad that this was the end of skywalker saga. I was just exhausted and sad and melancholic all at the same time.

It's like saying goodbye to your childhood. You don't want to keep reliving it again and again at the danger of begin to start hating it.

First half of the movie was pretty forgettable, as you can see J.J. Abrams pulling his hair out trying to fix all the fk ups in episode 8. Sometimes he succeed sometimes he didn't, but what's good about this effort is that it managed to set the table for the later half, where the main course is finally served. Fans be prepared for some nostalgic moments and some boxes left looong unchecked finally getting their ticks. I can't really tell you how satisfying it was for fans like me to see those nerdy stuff, but boy for me it definitely evened out some shortcomings of this movie. wouldn't say Rise of the Skywalker was a great movie, even less a starwars movie, but putting it down in the saga right next to it the catastrophic episode 8, it's a reliever the starwars I love didn't end up in flames.
