Not The Way To Close Of The Whole Skywalker Saga

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2019)

Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker is about the remaining resistance trying to fight off the first order while Emperor Palpatine is creating his own Sith army and trying to take over the galaxy. Our heroes have to try to finish both of them off to maintain balance in the galaxy.
This film has been getting many bad reviews and hatred. I could see that, but many Star Wars fans have also really loved this film. I was caught somewhere in the middle. It wasn't a bad film but there were some major problems. I did like the last two Star Wars movies about equally. Although the major problem I have found in all of these films is how easy it is for people to do crazy stuff with the force. In the originals and even the prequels the force was something that took time to learn. It just seems weird that Rey could do anything she really wants to do with the force while she has had little to no training. That is really the only thing that I think they have messed up with the Star Wars universe. Although the movie itself had a handful of problems. I thought the beginning was a snooze fest. It was probably more boring then the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. While it also felt like Jurassic Park 3. They were always running and hiding for the first hour of the film. The thing that really saved the film was the end. It was a really great ending. It was a little weird at some points. They tried to make the characters be like the original Han, Luke, and Leia. Which if you remember they were like birds of the feather. They wouldn't do anything without each other. They tried to do that and it just didn't feel right. Besides that the ending was an action packed extravaganza. I really enjoyed the ending. They also used their lighting to their lighting to their full potential. For some reason Disney decided to put a warning at the start of the film saying if you are photosensitive you shouldn't watch this film but I couldn't really find a scene that really made you blink a couple times. I guess there was a small scene at the start but besides that, nothing. I have never seen a movie that John Williams composes that is bad. I enjoyed the score probably more than the film itself. I will probably listen to the score just by itself a bunch of times. They used one of my favorite Star Wars scores of all time, The Emperors Theme. It is truly a work of art. The acting was fin I guess. You never really felt for the characters throughout the whole new trilogy as much as you did love the original cast. The only characters that started to grow on me is Finn and Ben Solo. All the other characters I didn't really care for.
Overall, Star Wars Rise Of Skywalker wasn't the film I wanted to finish off the Skywalker sage but it did sort of get the job done. I would only recommend it if you are a Star Wars fan.
