The best of the sequel trilogy and possibly the best since ROTJ

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

I really can't understand what's going on with the critics. They rave about the last Jedi. That was possibly the worst movie I have wasted money on at a cinema and really actually upset me as an original trilogy fan. Now they give poor to mixed reviews for the rise of Skywalker. I actually went into this thinking the bad reviews may be a good sign. And they were. So much better than the last movie and I think better than the force awakens. What was good. The atmosphere. That thing it's hard to capture and bottle. Oscar Issac was way better in this movie than before. I enjoyed Ian McDiarmid once again. The humour worked well and C3PO was actually given something to do again. Look judge for yourself. For me as a fan of the original movies I felt this was a good effort. I got a similar feeling with rogue one. Not perfect but pretty good. They overplayed the battle scene. Bigger is not always better. But hey. All in all I enjoyed Star Wars again. Thanks JJ.
