too much too little time

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2019)

The Rise Of Skywalker honestly felt like there were three movies packed in one. I'll give it to them, I liked the way they protested palpatine as the mastermind and "inventor" of snoke but then again everything felt too abrupt. Giving such a huge and memorable franchise a mediocre ending can only be a by product of disney. The force awakens was a marvelous come back for the franchise but this last movie just doesn't hit that spot. I feel like the people giving the movie a 1 or 2/10 are being quite melodramatic, episode 9 had it's strong points, for example, princess Leia's demise was shown in an accurate and memorable scene during Ray and Kylo's fight sequence. But scenes such as Chewbacca still being alive are a means of pretentious surprises that are unlike this franchise (except for episode 2). Overall Rise Of Skywalker was a disappointing bombardment of too much plot in too little time, packed with unnecessary additions to the story it stands as my second least favorite star wars movie in between episode 1 and 2. But do see this, the movie is definitely worth a watch but make sure not to sport over excitement as you may have for the past star wars movies or you'll be victim to a plague of disappointment!
