Review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) by Sundeki — 19 Dec 2019

I wasn't going to bother with a review, but after seeing literally dozens of user reviews on several websites, all that seem to say the exact same thing of how "satisfying" this film was: It's clear to me that there's some kind of mass paid shilling going on. I didn't think this sort of thing actually happened until just now.

The characters all suffer the same flaws as the previous two mainline entries.

The story seems forced and doesn't make sense so much of the time.

The writing and background is terrible, seemingly being used as an excuse to thrust fanservice or flashy/"impressive" moments on the audience without reason.

And once again, they completely butcher the nature of The Force as an excuse to advance completely irrelevant and poorly written plot points, or "character development".

The only things that are positive about this film were it's visuals, and some action sequences. Both things everyone should expect from a film with this subject matter and studio budget. So that's where they get the 2 points from.

I simply can't recommend this to anyone who isn't a young child or quite drunk.
