Well ...

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2019)

There is always fascination with movies that manage to capture real sense of what they want to portray and how to show us their charcters in battle over their good or bad, right or wrong, but to go into a universe that was once delightfully created and experience this kind of pain while watching Rise of Skywalker is frustrating. 30, 40 years ago we had a balance that Star Wars provided and now we have a ship full of holes that is meant to sink, but it doesn't seem like anybody cares and that is even worse thing.
Leaving the theatre speechless to monstrosities that have been shown on screen and feeling like maybe it's just me but then realising it's everybody around, it's like everybody doesn't even care about anything. They jsut want to see thing burn, explode, flashing lights all over, pointless scenes that inspire no tension, fear or any sort of feeling, you just sit there and watch like motionless human. To say you have to have a little imagination and spend a moment or two to actually remember is absurd, because you are treated like: "Don't think, just watch" and it just doesn't work beacuse there are people that care and love to see movies, movies ment something to them, maybe even helped them discover something about themselves.
The Rise of Skywalker feels like it shoud have been 3h+ long and have full scenes, beautifully choreographed, with meaning and sense that provides us satisfaction of watching something that we actually love. Instead it's 2h 20min of chopped scenes, that will drive you to boredom and then when you are there will drop you a piece of dialogue that will make you wonder how is it even possible to make it like that.
In all fairness it is not bad but it is horrendous how lame and unimaginitive it is with constant trying of giving you feel of melancholia. Somehow it just doesn't work, Rey, Finn, Poe all seem like they don't care, they just weant to move but they actually don't care about anything and there isn't much to care given what they are working with. Same goes for Kylo played by Adam Driver, but at least he is trying his best to work something out and fails at the end.
CGi looks amazing and how they make it on screen, with so much effort but are so unimaginative that we need to look at something and just feel nothing. All blows, thunderstorm, water and all the created thing to improve cinematography are absolutely great.
Making a movie just for sake of making a movie or sequel or prequel is absolutely riddiculous and show never be done, but they just don't care.
It's just bad, bad movie that will maybe make money and make a lot of people angry for watching it, but it all comes to money. Everybody wants it but everbody in long run will not have it, those who learn on their mistakes will and those that make same will not.
Beautiful CGi followed by dull dialogues and story with overall feeling of nothing is the best description of watching The Rise of Skywalker. 1/4
