Heaven Angel Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 STAR WARS: Rise of Skywalker Reviews out...and not looking great RT - 54% | Average Rating: 6.25/10 The good news is, The Rise of Skywalker is the send-off the saga deserves. The bad news is, it is largely the send-off we expected. Of course there is epic action to savour and surprises and spoilers to spill, but given the long, long build-up, some of the saga’s big revelations and developments might be a little unsatisfying on reflection. Abrams doesn't stick to a template as much as he did with "Force Awakens," but there are familiar turns that go down like comfort food. You want lightsaber tussles? There are plenty between Rey, who’s still wrestling with identity issues and her background, and First Order leader Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Ridley and Driver fueled a lot of the emotion in those previous films, and they rise to the occasion again as the lifeblood of "Skywalker."But after paying homage to everything that came before, this "Star Wars" ending is a too-safe landing of a massive pop-culture starship, and a spectacular finale that misses a chance to forge something special. Rest assured that there’s nothing in this final “Star Wars” that would prompt the eye-rolls or the snickers of Episodes I-III; Abrams is too savvy a studio player for those kinds of shenanigans. But his slick delivery of a sterling, shiny example of what Martin Scorsese would call “not cinema” feels momentarily satisfying but ultimately unfulfilling. It’s a somewhat soulless delivery system of catharsis, but Disney and Abrams are banking on the delivery itself to be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICK3Rboy Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Apparently it's overstuffed and choppy and feels like a big apology for TLJ rather than its own thing. Even Mandalorian seems to be playing it too safe, which is just making it boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second Lucas trilogy has some of the worst writing, acting and CG in anything ever. This movie would have to be The Room levels of insanity to compete. Going by the reviews I am sure this movie is a bit of a mess. But lets not compare it to sand that is annoying and gets everywhere.

CarbonCore Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Always in for Chris Nolan and some time bending f**kery. And Dimple Kapadia dishing out some heavy exposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICK3Rboy Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thought the trailer was great! And the cinematography looks really good too. It's from the same guy who did Dunkirk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
