Atom User Reviews for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
The movie had a high bar to reach, not only ending the sequel but the entire Skywalker storyline. For this fan, the movie jumped over that bar. While there are still some loose ends, that gives me hope of more movies and shows about this galaxy far, far away.
don't bother
This was a the most fun I had watching a train wreck of a movie.
All those people who are giving out so much hate to this film, sure, they can hate whatever and whenever they want, but I enjoyed it, so much! I was enticed in the story, I thought it ended so well. My only teensy weensy problem with it is the whole beginning part. No…
Best ending to the Skywalker saga
Total Disappointment.
I was 12 when A New Hope was released, and I took my son to see this, and he is 12.. A lot of plot twists, plenty of action, and for a 2 hour 21 minute movie, it moved along extremely well. There were some questions answered, and some questions created. This may be the end…
Pure 🔥
If you’re a Star Wars fan, I think you’ll enjoy this film. It has a little bit of everything and stays true to what I think the franchise has been all about. Definitely glad we went opening night.
The only hang ups in the movie is the repetitive “I sense something in the distance” face. And that the pacing for the first thirty minutes or so feels a lil jumpy. Other than those, it was AWESOME
1977 to 2019 I have lived every chapter and this is great way to close the Skywalker legacy 🤙
Great fx but, the story seems as though it was written by someone at the last minute. The lore is all off, a lot of things don’t make sense as to HOW, Rey is more OP than ever, etc.
Thank you JJ Abrams and all the Star Wars team for putting your heart and soul into this. Whatever the critics say, you won me over. Long Live Skywalker
So bad, worst star wars movie ever, imagine playing game and beating it with absolutely no challenge that was this movie.
it's a middle of the road movie that felt more like a longer story was trying to be told.
Kylo Ren did what Anakin couldn’t...he saved the one he loved from dying.♥️
In terms of story, the first half of the movie is a bit all over the place. Early on some of the scenes feel a bit rushed as we quickly cut away. However, the second half of the film really picks up. Overall, although it is not the Avengers: Endgame level conclusion many…
It is a abomination to the Star Wars universe.
Excellent close to the entire saga. Amazing writing to bring in older characters and tie off loose ends. Some strange choices made in the finale. It felt like they wanted to try to please too many people and mashed a few different endings together. Some of the end choices…
Review from an average fan. No spoilers. I’m not a super fan but I am a fan of Star Wars films. I don’t read any of the novels or cartoon shows. The movie itself was great. As a stand-alone this movie would’ve been very satisfying. I can guarantee you can watch this movie…
truly a awesome movie.
While the first act is all over the place, it is thoroughly entertaining, fun and beautiful, but fan-service-y, finale to the Skywalker saga.
JJ Abrams did a quick patch job of the Rian Johnson debacle. Story felt a bit rushed and lacked clear flow but will deliver for most fans
Best Star Wars Movie of the three!!! Can't wait to watch it again!!!!
awesome ending!!! 🙏🏼👍🏼
Good memories about longer life to sadness end
This was a very strong way to wrap up the Star Wars storyline. There were enough loose ends that can be explored through other movies/shows.
amazing
I was thoroughly entertained, yet I’m so sad that the story is over.
Wasn't expecting a hole lot from this movie since the previous movie didn't meet expectations. This one however wasn't much better. There wasn't much dept to the story, sort of repetitive from previous Star Wars films, and the action wasn't anything phenomenal. Rouge…
The Force is strong with this movie
From one end of the emotional spectrum to the other.
They could not have done anything to make it worse. They took the greatest series and turned it into a confusing, non-canon, incopetent mess. Thanks for ruining my childhood.
Left me wanting more... ending could of been way better than it was
Mace Windu 2.0
Perfect... could not ask for a better ending loved it!!
Star Wars fan for 42 years and my two future generations will continue to follow it.
In my opinion, it was a beautiful ending to the skywalker saga, it has a lot of things you might need to process but just flow with it and it will be amazing, just enjoy it in the moment, and definitely rewatch it!
Fantastic closure of the Skywalker Saga. This story definitely will live on forever.
One last look at my friends!
This was my second showing and I absolutely loved it just as much as the first time around.
Atom charged me at the time of preorder 8 weeks ago for a promotional ticket that won't be shipped for another 4-6 weeks
I just hate to see it end. Great movie
Good for the most part. I would say a must see. But I think in few scenes it drags on.
It's was aight
This was really good. The drama is intense!
A beautiful end to a beautiful saga
I have to admit, this was good — better than expected! I was pleasantly surprised!
Great to see the fan favorite legend characters one last time
disconnected from the original star war story.
Metacritic
It’s just determined to deliver as many answers and as much plot momentum as possible, even when slowing down or holding back would give its revelations far more weight.
If you’re going to do a send-off this huge, there are a lot of goodbyes to say, and a lot of loose ends to tie up. The fact that The Rise of Skywalker manages most of them and within a vaguely coherent story is something of an achievement in itself.
