Has some good qualities

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2019)

The people who have rated this film really low like a 1/10 or a 2/10 expected this film to be the best film of the year, ending the biggest saga in the world with a strong plot and acting like endgame. But if you have seen the force awakens and especially the last Jedi then you would be smart enough to realise that these sequels were not going to be anywhere near as good as the classic ones.
Just watching the rise of skywalker as a stand alone film instead of analysing every single scene to see if it linked up all the plot holes in the last Jedi you will come to see that it's average as a film on its own.
Although this film is jumpy, has bad cinematography, and has an exaggerated up and down emotional rollercoaster, the new interpretation of death sidious is probably the best way of showing him if he came back to life.
Overall I'm rating this film a 7/10 because of the amazing visuals and averagely made plot to what jj abrams was left with from Rian Johnson created. The plot and characters were cringe at times but at least it's not the worst Star Wars film...
