If 6 was 9

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2019)

I watched episode IX last night and I must say that the film was overall good, if you are under perhaps 30 or so.
CGIs are on the next level, and the sceneries very fullfilling. By all means, this movie is to be watched on a cinema screen, the bigger, the better.
Acting is actually OK (this is a first for Star Wars main movies).
I quite enjoyed the movie, but the storytelling and the final bloody KISS scene with two ressurections and two deaths in less than 5', really put the nail in the Star Wars coffin.
After three star wars episodes, Kylo Ren is still an underdeveloped character, which is a major flaw; his death was meaningless. SImilarly, Rey's past remained unexplored even if she was Palpatine's grandaughter, another critical error. Also, a major flaw in the whole saga is that Palpatine first ordered Ren to kill Rey, and then his ultimate plan was to have Rey kill him, but no, the ultra plan was to lure both of them to his cave in order for him to relive without a bunch of wires, because that was his problem, the wires!
Still, we can bypass these issues as this is Star Wars, but where was the epic ending battle? Tststststs. All we got was a fleet of "people" and about 5,000 star destroyers that were shooting targets. No action there.
Space Battle of Endor (1983) vs. Space battle of Accelgor (2019) - If XI was IX.....
