A movie that is as stupid and fun as the Return of the Jedi. Lets face it, except for the first two films in this franchise (New Hope, Empire Strikes Back), which struck a good balance between fantasy and realism. Since the Return of the Jedi, all logic has been thrown out the window to repeat the same formula and please fans who want to see the same thing in every movie. And with each copy, the quality gets worse
And this movie is the culmination of this need to serve these same fans, to make them happy to buy many products of this brand
JJ had already given a signal that we wouldn't see anything new in this third triology with force awakens. And when Rian Jhonson tried to do something new, the reactions were not very pleasant.
And just like the prequels, there is an interesting story of redemption, which is drowned out by this constant need to serve a movie to thousands of fans and consumers who want to see the same mediocrity repeated over and over again.
And for all that, The Rise of Skywalker is a stupid but fun movie. Without a consistent narrative, but with excellent visual effects.
Good actors, but with a messy and cringe script.
Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker It's watchable, but it has no magic beyond the manufactured nostalgia that money can buy. It is simply, just more of the same.
I give this movie a seven in ten.
