I feel the rise of skywalker is one of the best Star Wars movies released from Disney Star Wars and I give it a solid 8.5/10.
Sadly, what ruins this movie is the fact that many fans, critics and general movie fans were already prepared to hate this movie before its release and according to my opinion, bad press and critics are to blame for this movie's poor ratings. I feel many fans and critics rate this movie on the basis of the last Jedi and I have to agree with them that episode 8 is what ruined the Disney Star Wars saga for good.
I also find that many critics believe this move is a rip off of The return of the Jedi and I have to say the scenes that made Return of the Jedi so memorable among fans is the basic essence of this movie, and that basic essence which powers Rise of skywalker makes it a cohesive ending for the 9 film skywalker saga.

My personal complains against this movie... (minor spoilers):
I find the return of the emperor a bit odd as we all saw Palpatine being thrown down the death star shaft for good by his apprentice Darth Vader and was assumed dead but he is back, and the explanation for his return is a bit lacking.
The sacrifice of Vader seems as if it was thrown down the reactor shaft of the death star.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, Rise of skywalker is an amazing must-see movie and I recommend it to all fans of all ages. I also like to urge the audiences to “see through the lies of the critics”, and enjoy this film with an open mind.
I would like to close my review by saying may the force be with you.
