DISAPPOINTING!!!

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2019)

Let me start by saying I have been a Star Wars fan all my life, I was born in 1977 and grew up with the original trilogy.
When the prequels came along I was very excited and left numb, so much so I have only ever watched them once in the cinema.
Then the new films began, I enjoyed The Force Awakens, Rogue One was awesome, The Last Jedi was hit (Crait) and miss (Canto Bight) and I think Solo was good too, it's hard to create a back story for and established character that's new and original. So I went into The Rise of Skywalker with high hopes especially with the return of JJ Abrams and left feeling short changed and majorly disappointed, this film is a complete waste of potential. The scenes with Princess Leia were painful, the return of the Emperor was just silly and strange and the story seemed to bounce around and have no feeling, was VERY predictable and at times just stupid! I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually glad it's all over. Having said all this I think every Star Wars fan should watch this film but don't expect to be wowed!!! On a plus note I enjoyed my popcorn and Pepsi Max! ðŸ˜ƒ To be honest though we took our 4 year old daughter to watch Frozen 2 and I actually enjoyed it more than this film.
