Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Movie Review

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2019)

NO SPOILERS
Overall I think "The Rise of Skywalker" is a bit of a mess. I really loved some scenes, but there was a fair share of bumps on the way to the conclusion, that I thought was handled pretty well. What a shame I have to say this "Star Wars" film is OK. The action is great and the cinematography by Dan Mindel was handled great. IÂ´m a bit mixed on the direction by J. J. Abrams. I think he did a great job with "The Force Awakens", but he threw away to much fan service in this one. It also seems like the planning was a bit non-existent in this trilogy. Abrams set up things in the first, that Rian Johnson (director of "The Last Jedi") threw overboard. Now Abrams tries to throw all he has on the screen in a gigantic final chapter. And it worked, barely.
