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

A horrible mess of a film, completely devoid of any original ideas and so desperate to retcon everything that the movie plays like a checklist made from a fan’s reddit post than an actual film. Not a single moment is given space or time to breathe, the film is so single-mindedly focused on hitting it’s plot beats that the characters become basically action figures.

Motivations are abandoned and every character seems to just become a slave to the whims of a man who is so out of his depth.
