I liked Rise of Skywalker. Sure it had plot holes and, yeah, they crammed a lot of stuff into the movie, but I was entertained and it had the Star Wars vibe to it which is what I wanted. Dumb action, fun jokes and characters that make you connect to them. TLJ felt like a script to a different series of movies. This trilogy was always about Rey and Ben and their story arch had a satisfying ending.

This was a good review of The Last Jedi that just came out a few days ago lol. (some bad language)

I saw Rise of Skywalker last night and...The Last Jedi is better IMO. I'm still trying to figure out if this means Rise of Skywalker is "bad". I did like some parts of it. There were a few surprises but for the most part it was extremely predictable. My first reaction is to give it like a C+. I may change my mind after I see it a second time. Light spoilers:

The main bad guy shoulda been Kylo. The main bad guy in this one seems really contrived and just raises some big questions for me.

I also hated the loose ends they left. Feels like there will be an Episode 10. If there is an Episode 10 I will lose interest. It will start to get comical. Episode 9 was supposed to be THE END. That's why it was such a big deal. Go ahead and make all the spinoffs you want, like Solo and Rogue One...but as for the main story, this was supposed to be IT.

For the love of all that is holy, please let this be the last star wars movie. As someone who has seen the original trilogy and thought it was fine but not obsession worthy, I can't take all the hoopla and criticism and hand wringing and promotion and etc etc etc that comes with a star wars movie. They're either the best movies ever made or the end of the free world depending on whom you talk to.

The debate around star wars makes the end of game of thrones seem trivial.

Pleasantly surprised by Rise of Skywalker. The conversation around these movies is so serious and they’re just fun space battles and weird species and locations. Aside from delivering on that it’s a very Rey/Kylo focused movie which is the best part of this whole trilogy. I enjoy their weird psychic connection and I’m not sure I’ve seen any movie or show do what they’ve done with them in the past two movies.

If that fact that bombs fell in space in TLJ bothers you, you’re probably going to find a lot to hate about this.

Catching up. Enjoyed "Thief" a 1981 heist flick starring James Caan. Wonderfully dated.

Mad Max Fury Road. Man that was good

I liked The Rise of Skywalker quite a bit. It's not my favorite by any means, but it was a nice ending to the Skywalker story arc.

I've been asking a lot of people that didn't like it why. And most of the complaints I hear...plot holes, writing, open questions, etc., I managed to set aside a looooonnnngggg time ago w/r/t the SW movies. There was A LOT to love about it, and several things that fall flat. I guess it just depends on what you focus on.

I don't get all of the Star Wars stuff. I enjoyed the original trilogy when I was younger but can't keep up or care to anymore. Just not my thing.

I love Thief, especially the synth score.
