Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)

5/10

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (Short Movie Review)

4 January 2020

Positives:

Cinematography
Most of the acting
Musical score (Williams never disappoints)
Some action scenes and most scenes with Rey and Kylo

Negatives:

Half-assed directing and script
Pacing and editing
Palpatine's return felt silly
The movie seems more focused on undoing TLJ rather than telling it's own coherent story
Underwhelming conclusion to the Skywalker Saga (This is probably the worst thing of all... this was to be the final Skywalker Chapter, it could and should have been better and more epic than this)

(Very light spoiler)

The Last Order (Which is just a bigger death star YET AGAIN... THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE FOR GOD SAKE!)
