Best ever
Sad, enough cheesy-ness to make JarJarLucas happy. Still it is StarWars an some good acting by Rey and old cast. Storyline is muddled and cheap. Disney or Di$ney? Bring back the quality and depth of story.
Average movie. The last hour was better slightly than the first. Some plot holes. None of these match or compare to the original three movies.
Jesus the number of Disney shills here is ludicrous. The movie was a massive disappointment on every level.
I will adding this movie to my Star Wars collection. I never bought the previous one because was terrible. Glad they changed the director. The previous one was a totally idiot. Amazing movie.
Ben was a Sith but not exactly a Sith. His feelings got twisted and corrupted but in the end Ray was right as Luke. He saved her.
We watched the movie under IMAX format and it’s was amazing. :)
Here we go again with the 5 star spammers trying to defend an awful movie. This is hilarious lol. This movie was worse then the Last Jedi which I didn't think was possible but here we are. 2 Stars is being generous (4/10).
Long-time Star Wars' fans will get a 'rise' out of this iconic movie. "You will be profoundly moved; disappointed, you will not.!"
not really a sw movie more like a quick wrap up.
They could do certain stuff better and not mess with the canon but they could do much worse things too, so in the end it´s rather good than bad. Rey finally really struggles, which makes the audience root for her. There some emotional moments but also some that are supposed to be emotional but fall flat. The visual side is amazing, the locations are great. Abrams tried to put some fanservice into the movie.
I enjoyed this movie. Really was a good story.
I could see now why she was going bring balance to the force. Anakin Skywalker was not exactly the chosen one. Excellent twisted turn.
This was an epic ending and the beginning of a new story. :) Happy ending after too much tragedies.
I will like to see this movie again. The soundtrack was excellent.
Excellent movie. 😊
THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that they explain how Rey is so strong in the force and why Leila could use the force in Episode VIII and I was so sad when B— oops!!! Almost spoiled the movie DX. Go see it. :)
Really wish there was one more Skywalker episode to watch. this was a fun movie filled with action, some humour and a fun story that ties the original and the new stories together. Adam and Daisy were awesome as were all the rest of the cast! Going to see it a few more times!
It was a fun movie to watch, good action, good story...the haters are going to just hate this is not an Oscar movie, it keeps in the galaxy far away.....the haters keep comparing to original which honestly was not great acting and corny fun...this movie wraps up the saga in a great way, the acting by Daisy Ridley is so much better in this film, Adam Driver is fantastic! I would say it shouldn't be the end...I hope they keep making movies in this universe.
It seemed like they spent the whole time answering all the questions the fans had. if you need answers find God, but most of us want a good storyline along with good acting CGI in adventure to draw you into the movie you felt like you're there on the set watching it being filmed instead of living it. if I have anything good to say it's that the CGI was good
Palpatin again trying to take over the universe. Han Solo scene was unique. The final battle was amazing.
No idea who said about a Ja Jar in the movie? Lol Nope. Please watch the movie first rather to give fake reviews. Ben was this time fantastic.
Great finally. I loved the ending too.
FANTASTIC. Star Wars is back! The mystique that WAS Star Wars (when Lucas was at the helm) is (finally) back. Interested in the movie but hindered by somewhat anemic ratings (of some)? Don't be hindered. Turn off the rubbish criticisms generated by entertainment spoiled brat Americans who have indulged themselves into numbness and cannot therefore recognize a good (in this case 'great') movie when it hits them right in the face. The Star Wars magic that captivated generations was most certainly NOT back for the last couple of movies (though they were certainly NOT 'horrible' - as some have asserted). Rogue One, by the way, was a very good movie, though it didn't have the Star Wars mystique. Wondering about what I mean by 'Star Wars Mystique'? If you were around for the original movies 'durning the day' you know exactly what I'm talking about. What a feeling! lifted me right out of the hum drum of life and took me on a vicarious adventure that was simply thrilling! Here's my review Story - 10 - great intrigue, surprising twists and 'answers' to some questions that left me wondering after the last few movies. Cinametography - 10 if I could give it an 11, I would. Stunning. Amazing (even by todays standards) Acting (in general) - 10 Because it was so wonderful I loathe to criticize AT ALL. But if I had to, I would say that the 'Rose' character could, and perhaps should have been deleted. Weak and largely non contributory. Making "Fin" SPOILER? pretty ridiculous. Granted, its just fiction but still .... Yet, in spite of those two very minor weaknesses, I believe that the movie was just awesome. 'Surprise characters'? Well, I won't spoil it for you (if you haven't seen it) BUT I will say I was totally delighted by their presence. Friends, this was not a 'good' movie, it was a GREAT one. Do yourself a favor, forget entirely what the nay sayers are saying. Go, let yo
Kathleen Kennedy and Jar Jar Abrams turned something great into total garbage
All i can say is I wish George could of done this movie. Yes the effects today are better but the story isn't. Fairwell to the skywalkers
I knew I would regret spending money on this. I hate this movie almost as much as I hate myself for wasting money on it.
Grew up on the prequels and love them unironically. All of the sequels suffer from this issue a little, but TRoS is way more serious than it needs to be. Straying from the traditional over the top space opera format of the originals, and the glitzy sci-fi fantasy political drama the prequels unashamedly evolved into, TRoS finds itself in 'Real Serious Gritty Sci-fi Movie TM' butt into the 9th installment of a franchise that is now constantly second guessing itself and isn't a natural evolution, but is instead a hyper sterilized multi artist mutation of Star Wars. In spite of this, I had an absolute blast. I'm not going to say this movie has no contrivances, but it strikes a balance between constantly being blasted with set pieces or story beats, and long, droning Senate meetings. It's fast but not completely incoherent, quiet but not boring, thrilling but not horrifying, and an absolutely spectacular spectacle of lightsabers, a galaxy far, far away, and drama (albeit sterilized, yes). Admittedly, I went in wanting to have fun. I wanted to like this movie and have a good time. TRoS didn't disappoint me.
Movie dragged (one in our group actually snoozed off twice) and very predictable way they tied up all the loose ends of the whole damn series. This one can be watched on a tv at home.
Just an amazing film.
Loved Rey, the storyline, visual effects and the fact that all the questions from the first movies are answered.
A million times better than the previous two, on edge of your seat the entire time completely invested! I LOVED this movie! I wanted to turn around an re-watch right away I couldn't even put into words everything, I felt was just on an adrenaline rush.
Having watched all 9 films on the first day of release, I have a different perspective on the films than those born after 1977. "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" was enjoyable, but some parts were too over the top thanks to the ego of Jar Jar Abrams who is still under the impression that a thin plot can be hidden under SFX.
Just Awesome!
Amazing movie THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!! It explains who Rey is and why she has so much power despite her parents being nobody. It explains how Leia saved herself in Episode XIII. It (somewhat) explains why Rey and Kylo Ren are connected in the force. THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL STAR WARS FANS!
Better than expected. I would like to thank the people with negative reviews because I went in with low expectations. Wonderfull end to the Star Wars sage, one of the best Star Wars movies.
Considering the trainwreck Johnson left Abrams after episode 8...Abrams did the best he could. There should have been WAY MORE Palpatine than the 6 minutes we get! Luke Skywalker should NOT be dead still pisses me off from last movie. Loved the Leia scenes and wished there could have been more but obviously that couldn't have happened. LOVED the one scene with Han Solo! Why J.J. did you have to incorporate a lesbian kiss at the end during celebration? It's because of nonsense like this the original 3 will never be surpassed. When you go to that galaxy far far away you leave reality you escape current life which is what a movie is suppose to be all about. We as the audience don't need to be hammered down with these social justice aspects of current society the movie then becomes less of an escape!!!
Let me say first and foremost the original characters in the first 3 stars wars were united like they were actual family and it showed in all 3 movies. Even though the special effects weren't as go then as they are now the story lines made up for it. This movie was ok and I enjoyed it. They tried to put a whole lot of storyline packed in a 2 and a half hour movie and if you never saw a star wars you would definitely been confused. It was worth the money to see the ending.
What got me about this film is that the whole team of actors were not playing on the same Star Wars cultural plane making it disjointed and incongruent. The dialogue bounced around from Star Wars period speak to modern day culture and attitude. It didn’t fit the movie. The great CGI effects were over shadowed by poor character betrayal. Wait for this movie to go into the cheap theaters or on NetFlix.
This was pure garbage.. Don't know how they say it's for the fans. Nothing made logical sense or was believable. They just did it expecting you to say.. Oh ok let's go with that.
J.J Abrams and Chris Terrio pulled it off! Don’t listen to the critics - this film is fantastic. Abrams managed to fuse the classical spirit of the original trilogy with modern sensibilities. The story has humour, inspiring adventure, genuine emotional moments, and heart. I was dazzled and left the cinema feeling like I was a 10 year-old kid again, seeing Star Wars for the very first time! Abrams is a superb filmmaker!
What a mish mash of everything Star Wars. It started losing it’s cohesion and plot about mid way thru. It was like when you go to grocery store and put everything into your shopping bag just to get out of the store, knowing you were going to sort things out at home. But when you got home you forgot something. A real let down. A sorry ending for Star Wars. Kathleen Kennedy should be black balled from the industry.
Just saw it was ok at best. All these 5 star reviews are total bs. Didn’t wow me at all... was just meh...
Outstanding movie not a dull moment
Star Wars has become political. If you don’t like it you don’t belong here. Yikes what poor critics or people who just not accepting of other people’s opinions and tastes. See You Next Tuesday for cheap Tuesday.
best movie ever!
its star wars, whats not to like.
I CRIED AT THE VERY END! IT IS WHAT SW FANS WANT AND NEED!
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER IS HERE! IT IS AMAZING
This will be epic! The final saga!
