Review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) by D0Nki — 20 Dec 2019
The best I can put it is small moments of brilliance, packed in a cocoon of cluster-f@#kery.
As expected the visual, sound and music is what really keeps it up with the added nostalgia factor.

The story is a rushed mess.
It actually feels like they took everything they found on the internet, and threw it at the script. What didn't fall off of it made it in to the movie.
In terms of characters, they mostly fall flat. Adam Driver did probably most of the work here ... which isn't saying much considering that he played a very two dimensional character.
Logic is almost none existent at this point. I know people come to its defense saying that its a fiction, but with the thing is that even fiction needs to have rules and logic that makes sense in its own world, in order for it to work. Otherwise there is nothing keeping it from becoming chaotic. Most of what I saw today was an afterthought, considering how fast it goes trough story beats, and tries desperately to do damage control after TLJ.
