A big unwieldy mess, that has it's heart in the right place.

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2019)

Despite it's obvious flaws, including a beginning that is at break neck speed, I quite enjoyed the Rise of Skywalker.
It's definitely hampered by where the Last Jedi left the story, and has a lot of course correction to do (which is why the beginning feels so rushed). But once it does that, it gives us a lot of beautiful and scary moments for our heroes. Whilst still packing a few surprises.
Overall, it's a satisfying end to the Skywalker saga.
