Not the worst thing ever, just okay!

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2019)

Rise of Skywalker was slightly better than I expected based on this user review section, which isn't saying much. The pacing is completely off, and there are some questionable choices throughout - overall it was a satisfying enough conclusion to this new trilogy. But ultimately this whole trilogy felt a bit pointless.
It answers a lot of the lingering questions from TFA. So that's a positive.
The film can be summed up as: adequate, yet underwhelming and forgettable.
However, It will give a lot of bearded cap wearing 35+ year old YouTubers a lot of repetitive material for the next few months/years. If you weren't sick of the clichÃ© "Kathleen Kennedy/JarJar Abrams/Disney ruined my manchild childhood" videos, prepare to see that type of content over and over and over and over....everyday....for years! This film provides a lot of material for them to milk clicks instead of getting on with their lives.
I fully expect the neck-beards to rate this review lowly or as unhelpful because of the last paragraph. Hive-mind.
