It was good! Yeah, just good!

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

Never thought I would say this, but there was too much action in this film.
It needed to slow down a bit to let me catch the emotional parts.
So much story is going on in this film, but it doesn't get jumbled all together, but it's all cut up and pasted together in a way that makes it go by so quickly (well, not really. It did feel like a 2 hour and 22 min film). I never really got the chance to care about anything happening.
I like Star Wars just enough to not get lost on parts of the story that would relate to other movies. Sure, chances are everyone has seen all 8 movies before, but if you have not seen the last two than this movie's got nothing for you. It barely entertained me and I've seen them at least twice.
Rise of the Skywalker takes us to amazing places with some cool characters that are fun to be around, but the fan service is not doing this movie any favors and as for the surprise twist...feel on Death's ears. Not enough good vs. evil to get the emotional impact of the ending.
It's more watchable than the last Jedi but barely
