"Be With Me"

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2019)

I've always tried to review movies based on how successful they are at making me feel the particular emotions they are trying to pull out of you. Some would highly disagree with that notion, but I've always been consistent in believing that. And for me, The Rise of Skywalker succeeded on almost every level. I love this franchise and I love (for the most part) the first 2 movies in the new trilogy. How we got to this point in terms of behind the scenes issues or lack of planning on Disney's part ultimately doesn't matter, this movie is an absolute blast. Tons of fist pumping moments, surprises, and more than anything a satisfying ending to a 9 picture saga. A more full (spoiler) review can be found via my podcast, but that's all that needs to be said at the moment. Decide for yourself if you like it or not.
9.7/10
