The best of the new trilogy for me

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

I'm disheartened to see all the negative reviews on here as I had a really good time with Rise of Skywalker. My expectations were low after The Last Jedi and some of the negative hype but the film was a success for me and made me feel like Star Wars had been redeemed by the end of it. It got off to a strong start then there were a few shaky scenes that got me worried but I was steadily swept up in it until the by the end I was fully engaged. There were a couple of scenes that could be described as stretching it a bit but I was having so much fun that I forgave them very quickly.
