I thought it was the weakest of this trilogy. Better than all of the prequels. Weaker than all of the originals.
NO SPOILERS: I am about to see teh Star War

I’m with micwalt and Sunvalleylaw on this one. I had a good time, my family had a good time and because it’s a Star Wars movie it is not going to be The Godfather II. And no stupid casino heist or Ewoks (in any great number) in this one, either.

We (my family) are about halfway through The Mandalorian, and we’re enjoying it more than The Rise of Skywalker.
Each movie in the OT had space and time to breathe and relax and take in the surroundings and scenery, enjoy the music, watch characters interact with one another calmly, etc.
I’d say the same thing about some of the better Marvel movies, and I’d cite it as a reason for their success.
Jumping from planet to planet, set-piece to set-piece, etc., every 10-20 minutes, with no room to breathe? That’s just exhausting, and it feels like high-budget fan fiction with minimal (or worse, forced) character development.

Yep.
I agree with the criticisms, AND I still enjoyed the movie. I think I agree with your ranking in post 81. But I still had fun, and likely will see it again. I also liked the girl power aspect.

That’s been present since Disney bought it. I think it’d be difficult to argue that it’s a more central theme here. Anyway. We need a spoiler-friendly thread.
Btw, I saw Little Women. Better movie, more girl power.
My wife and daughter went to that the day before and loved it. My daughter was so girl-powered up she came home and watched "Hidden Figures" right after.

Wonderful. Now you have to take your son.
I think there were only about 3-4 men from an audience of about 100. Not as bad as when I went to see The Fault In Our Stars, but this is a much better movie.
This will be purchased (like Hidden Figures) when it comes out on DVD.

It was OK as a series of scenes. There were a couple of times while I was watching it that I had to stop and ask myself "Wait, why the fuck are they on this planet and what are they doing again?"
In general I liked the characters in tbe sequel trilogy, but the story was a mess.

Technically, it's speciesist.
Why do you always have to be so fucking literal?

My wife and I saw it last Sunday and we both really liked it. Strongest of the recent trilogy - all of which are superior to the travesty that episodes 1 - 3 were.
Was it perfect - no. it's Star Wars. They are supposed to be escapist fantasy and that it was. It ended the series about as well as could be expected.
