Star Wars Episode IX - SPOILER THREAD

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker had its premiere last night at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Non-Spoiler reviews and Twitter mentions are trickling out and they're overwhelmingly positive.

I'll be seeing the film Thursday night, 6:30pm PST but I'm not sure if I'll have time to post because we're traveling for the holidays, leaving at 4am the next morning. If I can't post Thursday evening, I'll get to it at some point over the weekend, maybe after I've seen it a second time.

It's a Spoiler thread but let's try to keep the real spoilery stuff in the Spoiler Tags through the weekend, just so we don't ruin the movie for someone that accidentally clicks on the thread.

Let's hear it!

I turned my brain off and watched this movie.

Best of the last 3. That's not saying a lot, but it's something.

No it's not.

It's a hamfisted, poorly written, unoriginal, overly CGI'd attempt at making us care about characters we don't and haven't cared about since they were introduced.

At least we cared about the OT cast in the first two.

Do you also wax nostalgic about the Transformers franchise?

That's what this movie was. The "Transformers" entry of the Star Wars saga.

Big, loud and stupid. With a worse protagonist.

On my phone, but here’s some honest reacts from the cast about Rise of Skywalker, and it’s pretty painful to watch.

It wasn't very good. It tried but there was nothing to salvage.

I laughed at the kiss.

I saw it coming and hoped it didn't happen. It did and I cringed harder than I ever have.

It is brutal to watch. Cornier than a Hallmark movie.

Attack of the Clones is such an awful movie.

Also, I think this idea that RoS is a "bad movie" is a bit silly. It's a fantastic movie, when viewed as a Stand-Alone film.

The movie didn't work in a saga of nine movies, mostly due to the incongruous story that doesn't really match up with the first 7 films but in terms of film making, dialog, VFX, cinematography, set construction and action, it's pretty damn good.
