Just finished Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker...
My thoughts: #NoSpoilers
I didn’t hate it.
I didn’t love it.
It was neither a bad film or a good film.
It was jam-packed with action from start to finish. Great visuals, great acting. Excellent throwbacks to films before it.
However, it lacked cohesion. Too many subplots made it confusing and left way too many questions unanswered. Some of the deaths felt cheap and hollow. Some characters were given far less screen time to make more for others. Many things didn’t make any sense, and there as never a bother to explain them.
It’s not the worse film in the franchise, but this was a terrible ending of the Skywalker saga. JJ Abrams reinvigorated the franchise, continuing the Skywalker saga, and ended it’s story with a plot so full of holes, it could pass for Swiss cheese.
See it, or don’t...it doesn’t matter. True fans of the franchise will see it. Just be sure to take an Advil before you do.
I give it 3/5 stars. I may be in the minority (or majority depending on the company) but I was very disappointed with the film.
