The Rise of Skywalker is a fantastic movie. I am an active fan of Star Wars and keep up with all of its conent, this movie is what a Star Wars conclusion should be. While this is a direct sequel to The Last Jedi, it builds on it's good aspects and apologizes for many of it's wrong doings. I thought The Last Jedi was decent, but The Rise of Skywalker tops it's predecessor in every category. I believe that the critics are not loving this movie because it doesn't do well as a stand alone film, but any fan with a general knowledge of the previous 8 films should love the film. While I wish there were more references to the prequels, it does a great job following up the original and sequel trilogy. It is a great story and an even better conclusion to the Skywalker Saga. My one gripe! Where was Duel of Fates!?!
