To Much Nostagia, Not Enough Orginality

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2019)

So I just got done watching Rise of Skywalker. As I promised I wouldn't give out plot details or Spoilers, but my honest opinion is that I didn't like the movie. It recycled a lot of elements from Return of the Jedi with some extra plot points which should have been introduced in earlier films rather than the finale. Much of the movie to me felt catered to fans this time around and took a lot of pop shots at The Last Jedi. Overall cinematography by Dan Mindel was great and the acting was great, but they could have gone and did their own ending rather than carbon copy. So I'm going to give this one a 5/10 for me. They had so much potential but failed to deliver the finale they promised. To quote "It's easy to digest, but not that filling or memorable."
