Good Movie, Bad Ending

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

I enjoyed watching The Rise of Skywalker it was a fun movie with mostly good CGI but I hated the Ending and here is why:
From the Moment on where Rey uses lightning I knew one thing and hoped for another.
I knew that the movie was setting her up to be a Palpatine.
I hoped that the End would consist of her accepting who she is and using the Lightning to defeat Palpatine. Then she and Ben would recognise the worth of both The Light and the Dark Side and found a new order: The Skywalkers.
But what instead happend is that Palpatine stood for all Sith and Rey for all Jedi and as quick as that we are back to the basic white Vs dark fight without grey areas. At least I had a neat Lightsaber Duel to look forward to in which Ben and Rey have to fight a repowered Palpatine, but Ben gets Force Pushed in a pit and Rey deflects Lightning, which Palpatine still hasn't learned to turn off, until he is only dust.
Although their last Scene together (Ben & Rey) was Sweet I don't get why Rey even died and I would have preferred if they both lived to raise the next generation.
I know that's a personal preference but I think it would have been nice.
