An incoherent and emotionally dishonest mess!

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2020)

This movie is a hot incoherent mess. Honestly, it felt like somebody loaded a shotgun full of Lightsabers, Star Destroyers, X-Wings and TIE Fighters and then fired it at my face.
The movie majorly focuses on fan pandering and nostalgia instead on telling a good character relevant and progressing story. It dishonors the found family trope, tramples on abuse narratives, dehumanizes its female characters and is emotionally dishonest.
Let's not even mention the terrible dialog (even for a SW flick), horrid execution of the movie with ridiculous pace and editing, close up shots and weird angles, stroke inducing lights and so much blue filter in almost every scene.
Ultimately, "The Rise of Skywalker" is fundamentally unjust and it dishonors the core of the Star Wars storytelling and the myth. It's cowardly and disingenuous, as it brute forces characters through the narrative without committing to any emotional truth or depth of feeling.
