Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

[Mike Barrett]

Early reactions are out, seems mostly positive! Not 100%, but id lean towards positive rather than mixed. Makes me have good faith in this film. One review said its the most original trilogy film since the original trilogy. That gets me excited, I cannot wait!! 

Edit: And, obviously, May The Force Be With You ALL!!!!!

Have tix for Friday, 6pm.   Sprang for the seats at the expensive theater!

I'll be at the movie theatre at 9:30pm on Thursday and I am excited (even though I was not a fan of "Last Jedi".   Hopefully it goes out with a bang.

I'm seeing it in IMAX on Christmas Eve.  I'm not reading ANYTHING about until after.  

[Mike Barrett]

Seeing the film in 5 hours. I will try and remember to give my non spoiler thoughts later on this evening! Again, May The Force Be With You ALL!!! Happy Star Wars everybody! 

[Mike Barrett]

Gotta be honest, gut reaction is that was my least favorite Star Wars film ever. I’m really not sure how I feel about any of it, there is A LOT to process. Certainly won’t unite the fan base, that’s for sure. I really wanted to like this one too

[spiderdj82]

Saw it last night and, overall, I wasn't fan.  I liked it better than Last Jedi in a way because there was actually movement in the story and some character development. I just think this one was trying to course correct "Last Jedi" while trying to play it safe and give into fan service which left HUUUUUUUUGE plot holes and head-scratching moments combined with WAY too much going on. But, yeah............I left the theater very disappointed.

I haven't heard anything good about this movie. It's a shame, because I'm a huge Star Wars fan but I really have no desire to see this movie and probably never will. After suffering through Abrams's two Star Trek movies I may never see one of his movies again.

[Mike Barrett]

Ya, the more I've sat with it I still dislike it. The bad way outweighs the good here, and there frankly isn't much good to begin with. Real disappointing end for me.

The franchise needed a compelling over-arching narrative, but this film reeks of muddle, fudge, pandering and hedging of bets.

I was bored and could not glimpse one single moment of the mystery, awe, vision and significance found in New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

[dramamama611]

Visually this is stunning.

I certainly didnt love it, nor did I hate it. Prob my least favorite of this trilogy.


Often it felt like watching a ping pong game...lots of back and forth, where stronger choices should have prevailed

[Miles2Go2]

I will probably make my first trip inside an actual theater since around February to see this. I have to admit I’m not really sure I ever saw all three of the original movies all the way through. I saw most of the next three movies and was not a fan.

I’ve liked the last two a whole, whole lot so I’m hoping to like this one as well.

I had fun watching it but they should have stuck with Rian Johnson.

The Last Jedi is probably my second favorite film of the franchise, after Empire Strikes Back. Abrams goes out of his way to reverse course on Last Jedi. Most noticeably with the sidelining of Rose which is disappointing after the backlash Kelly Marie Tran received after Jedi's release. It feels like a film created for fan service and as a result it's over stuffed and not cohesive. 

I guess the new cast is what saves it for me. I really like the trio of new main characters and hope we get to see them in future installments.

I loved it. I loved this whole trilogy, in fact, and I thought this was the best one of the entire franchise.
