Ok, so.... Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker.
I liked it!! In fact, I'd go as far as to say I really liked it!
Yes, its Cheesy. But news flash all ye film critic wannabes.... so was Star Wars - A New Hope. So was Star Wars - The Empire Strikes back. And so was Star Wars - Return of The Jedi. They were all cheesy. They were meant to be! They are classic Heroes vs Villains tales set in space!! What did you honestly expect - Shawshank Redemption??
Heroes always win! Thats the moral of the tale, after all.
But if you can let go of all the "Urgh, Disney ruins everything" hangups that folks seem so dead set upon, what you are left with is a visually stunning, action packed, nostalgia fuelled, honest to god "Space Pirates" sci-fi film that delivers exactly what it says on the tin.
Star.... Wars!
Kudos to JJ Abrams for taking on George Lucas's legacy, and making an epic adventure film full of galactic explosions, stunning light sabre duels, and every boys (and tom-boy girls') laser gun stand off fantasys', despite the impossible expectations of "fans" and film "critics" alike.
I, sir, applaud you.
(And Daisy, I applaud Daisy Ridley too.... I mean, you guys have seen her right?!? 😍 Ahem!)
