Just watch the supercuts on YouTube. You won't miss anything.

Fanbrats, have I got a movie for you! Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker has none of the things that made you howl watching The Last Jedi — no “non-canonical” twists or abrasive exchanges or oddball narrative detours with actors you don’t care about. No more idiosyncrasies, either: The characters’ outsize hearts are always audible beneath their cranky façades, their sides Dark or Light with no distracting smears of gray — except for poor Ben/Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), the Vader Mini-Me whose inner tussles make him cockeyed, miserable, and extra emotive. There’s no one around like The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson to gum up the works with anything resembling a personal style. Under J.J. Abrams, The Rise of Skywalker hits its marks and bashes ahead, so speedy that no emotion sinks in too deeply. Abrams’s battle sequences (ship to ship, lightsaber to lightsaber) don’t have much spatial coherence or snap, but they look dazzlingly expensive, especially the lightsaber duel atop a sea that’s one titanic wall of water following another. The big battles end with infectious whoops and fist-pumps and backslaps, our heroes throwing themselves on top of one another and crying. Lots of tears in this movie. Lots of feelings, wo-oh-oh feelings. If you hated the drily witty The Last Jedi, you’ll love The Rise of Skywalker as much as I loved The Last Jedi and hated The Rise of Skywalker.

Lmfao

Is it bad if I expected more out of this s*** ?

Is it that much better than standard viewing?

"It represents the cultural theft of Star Wars from today’s kids by today’s arrested-development-stricken adults. Star Wars was a franchise first and foremost for children, and the kids who grew up with Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and the MCU have embraced harsh truths and challenging narratives. Lucasfilm and Disney’s The Rise of Skywalker feels explicitly crafted for the “Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars!” and “George Lucas ruined my childhood!” demographics, right down to its near erasure of Kelly Marie Tran’s Rose Tico. It’s bad enough that adults no longer see grown-up movies in theaters, but now yesterday’s geeks who have taken over pop culture feel entitled to have the kid-friendly franchises aimed at them as well."

Star Wars fan base is such an interesting case of generational divide.

I just smile and nod at work

Oh f*** yeah. Comfy AND CLEAN seats, fewer seats so less noise, you can adjust the damn seat, you can't see who is in front of you so no visual distractions. The sound is actually normal and not bass-y womp womp sound you get in regular or "IMAX" theaters. I'm basically lying down throughout the whole movie almost fell asleep when I was watching Ad Astra.

That being said I'm not watching this in theater because all of the good seats are booked because neckbeards need to watch it 4x in a row. They can go duck themselves. I'll watch it in the comfort of my own home.

Won't lie, seeing the world's reaction to, and constantly discovering that yeah, maybe Star Wars is just OK never gets old

“ IT CHANGED CINEMA 40 years ago “

Think about why you expected more from Disney who truly has very few groundbreaking live action movies

Yup

But like theyre nothing amazing

Just jumped into the spoiler thread by complete accident and saw the first few pictures

forget what I said about the Cats reviews maybe being better

"There were times it felt like The Rise of Skywalker was put together by reading angry reddit boards, just throwing in anything a fan might possibly want to see. It really is baffling."

loooool

If anything this backlash benefits Jumanji

Just rewatched TLJ Rian Johnson is a legend

hooooooooooooly s***

b-BuT mY cHiLdHoOd

Unfortunately Cats is a bit of a dead horse to beat, no one gonna take a chance, SW will always have some delusionals

Visually the best Star Wars film. Some of those shots are magnificent.

Micky Mouse forbid that someone who knows how to make an artful, creative movie take the helm on a beloved franchise
