It's been said before but this is The Fall Of Skywalker

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2019)

Possibly the worst film of the year considering it's heritage and long standing legacy. Admittedly JJ was severely backed up into a corner by the horrendous The Last Jedi, but what he ultimately come up with is nothing short of a travesty. I really don't think I could ever return to this film after the first watch and on a whole, this entire Disney trilogy of films are absolutely shocking in their execution. Rise Of Skywalker is not thrilling, head banging exposition, messy storylines to retcon what came before it. Rey is the ultimate Disney Princess with superpowers beyond measure and all of her feats are just eye rolling and ridiculous as the film progresses through from one boring scene to the next. "Master Leia", give me a break. Even that backstory crowbarred in there is not palpable in the slightest, and besting Luke in a lightsaber duel putting him on the deck (again) to give credence to her training of Rey was pure cringe. Beside, the cringe on offer here was at maximum levels like you can't believe and take serious for a moment. The nods to old sights and sounds of original Star Wars films only remind you of indeed, better Star Wars films of the past. In closing it is a complete ripoff of Return Of The Jedi and Rise Of Skywalker will only be remembered for hammering in the final nails of this once beloved franchise that now lies in ruins by Kathleen Kennedy's insidious agendas at work here. I do not recommend this film at all.
