Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2019)

I'm in my 70s and I've followed the Star Wars saga ever since I watched the fantastic Episode IV with my (then) young family in Leicester Square in 1977. I'm a real fan! On several occasions over the past 20 years, I've set time aside to watch the whole story from Episode I onwards and more recently fitted the two 'stand alone' films in the correct place. I know that sounds nerdy.
Anyway, tonight I watched Episode 9, 'The Rise of Skywalker'
I'm truly sorry to say, I didn't like it. Too dramatic, too loud, too many light sabre battles, too much trying to fit everything from earlier stories in, too much action, too much CGI. I could go on, and why did Rey kiss Ben?
Why didn't they ask the director of Rogue One to work on the story for this vitally important end of the saga? In my opinion, Episode IV was the best film and 'Rogue One' is in 2nd place. Fantastic believable characters....
