Loved it!

I am so confused by all these bad reviews, if you enjoyed The Force Awakens then you will enjoy this movie.
If you thought The Last Jedi was a mistake then don't worry because JJ fixes up all the loose ends.
I have read reviews complaining about it being too emotive? And having too much action/adventure? I mean what do you want from a movie? Ask yourself why you are interested in watching a Star Wars movie, because if it's to see lightsaber duels, good vs. evil or Jedi vs. Sith (which I might add Ryan tried to terminate..), a few well tied in comedic moments (watch the originals - are they dry and serious throughout like The Last Jedi? No) and a couple of twists that pay homage to the original trilogy then you should really enjoy this movie.
I will add that there is a lot of storytelling happening in this film which some people don't seem to like - but given the train wreck JJ was cleaning up he did a brilliant job. I imagine this trilogy would have been quite polished if they just stuck with the one director throughout.
I also don't think a true Lucas fan will ever be satisfied with this trilogy, but at the same time look at all of you who hated the prequels which was Lucas' vision and it is his story to tell...
All I can say is when I walked out of The Last Jedi I was confused and a little wtf just happened, it made no sense to the story set up in The Force Awakens. After The Rise of Skywalker I walked out satisfied and felt that it tied in well with The Force Awakens.
PLEASE go and see the movie for yourself, I don't feel these bad reviews are an accurate representation of what I saw, not even in the slightest. So many of the bad reviews are more upset that there even is a new franchise and not to do with this movie itself!
