a great sendoff for a great saga

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2019)

The rise of skywalker is a really good movie. the characters have a lot of charm, the sets are great, you know the music is good and the amount of fan service is overwhelmingly spectacular.
i adore the first half. it's a really good Indiana Jones style adventure. the Emperor is the selling point. his performance is intriguing and creepy at the same time. i love it.
although, this movie has way too many plot holes and moves unbelievably fast. not giving us enough time to soak in the locations or get to know the new characters. i didn't even know their names until i saw them in the credits. also the lightsaber fight is pretty underwhelming.
but despite it's issues its still a hell of a ride. a ride with some broken rails but still not stopping it from getting to it's destination.
