Good action movie...

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2019)

But as a Star Wars movie the rise of Skywalker left me disappointed in the movie chair. The overall storyline was in my opinion great and had a fitting conclusion for the franchise, but the execution was very rushed, the plot was filled with bad ideas, big time jumps and no time for character development. The sceneries, architecture and landscape looked amazing, but it was always the feeling that they focused to much on making those amazing scenes without thinking about any sense in it. There was no time to transition from one story or scene to the other. 2 movies would have suited the story much better.
The action was good but did not catch me as much as the ones in episode 1-6. Something like Yodas fight scene in episode 2, Luke against Darth Vader or the one between Obi Wan and Anniken is not seen in the movie.
Adam Driver as Kylo Ren did an amazing performance, would have loved to see more of him and his character in the franchise. Much more than Rey, Daisy Ridleys character which sometime felt misplaced with weird behavior.
The rise of Skywalker could have been a lot better I don't know why the studios have to rush stories so much. It's a movie that has more than 2 hours but still feels like a snap of the fingers. Let the characters breath! Let them live a little, than I start connecting again!
