What's the over/under on the Fresh rating lmao
Will this beat out TPM? Lmfao
Amazing that the negative reviews all cite that it too deeply attempts to appeal to the people who didn't like TLJ. Almost as if those dudes, and yes it was mostly dudes, had the wrong idea about what SW should and could be the whole time.
A Gamespot review? I'm sorry what?
" Unfortunately, The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams doesn't seem to have fully grasped Johnson's message in The Last Jedi--that we have to "let the past die" to move forward. Johnson sought to establish a fresh direction for the Star Wars saga, but in Rise, Abrams is interested in killing only the parts of the past that he disagrees with. Instead of continuing down the path that Johnson set, Abrams swerves the franchise into yet another hard u-turn, cramming enough story for two movies into one, and largely acting like the previous film never happened--or actively retconning it.
In the end, it all feels simply empty. It should never be so clear to audiences that something in the filmmaking process has gone so terribly wrong--that the people who made the first film in a trilogy apparently didn't bother to sketch out a plan for the second and third, and that the movies' directors had visions for the series' future that were so fundamentally at odds. Star Wars deserved better.
4/10"
Hey now, give some credit to the man who ruined Justice League and Star Wars as wellhow did hollywood allow one man to destroy both Star Wars and Star Trek
Seen a couple of people who really didn't like TLJ and still think this is worse so... you're not out of the woods just yet.The reviewers loved TLJ and I don't, so chances are I'll love this one lol.
We'll see in few days I guess :)

Well yeah movies are subjective, that's why I said we'll see, I'll hold my judgement till I see it hahaSeen a couple of people who really didn't like TLJ and still think this is worse so... you're not out of the woods just yet.
More than that though, It just sounds designed by committee and soulless. Judging by the reviews.
55 now, will probably settle in 60s buts that still a 20 point drop

Boy some of those headlines could've been written for TFA as well.
For sure. Still going opening night! (I enjoyed both TFA and TLJ, though I can see why others don't.)Well yeah movies are subjective, that's why I said we'll see, I'll hold my judgement till I see it haha
