The Rise of Skywalker SW: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER - The Rotten Tomatoes thread

[spiderman2]

Ok now its working 57 after only 22 reviews not looking good i think this is going to get rotten normally the lower the score the more reviews come out even if the reviews are great.

Time will tell whether Abrams has succeeded in uniting the fandom again with his last lines — or whether, in trying to unite it, he has managed to please neither side of the great divide.

Damn. This is unfortunate as hell.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

I mean its still kind of early, but damn it is never a good sign when your film starts out rotten right off the bat. Critics are really divided over some of the choices JJ and co made here, but man its so weird seeing this kind of reaction coming off of something as already divisive as TLJ was.

George Lucas may have a lot to answer for, including his mostly dreadful 1999-2003 prequel cycle, but it’s hard not to admire his stubborn adherence to his own bizarre vision, rather than to some fan-tested, committee-approved notion of what a “Star Wars” movie should be. More than anything — more even than the billions in box office dollars that surely await it — this series needs artists willing to flood its mythology with new life, rather than turning it into another endless replay of “The Skywalking Dead.”

It's a bumpy ride on the way to a mostly satisfying conclusion.

This isn’t a proper film – just a nondescript, boring component in the Star Wars machine

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker review. It’s unworthy of the word ‘cinema’

 

[Silver Surfer]

Like a tremor in the Force, the division stirred by "The Last Jedi" created friction in the "Star Wars" universe. That left director J.J. Abrams with additional clean-up work to do on "The Rise of Skywalker," a "Star Wars" movie made very much with devout fans in mind, and one that proves highly satisfying as an end not just to this trilogy, but a saga 42 years in the making.

The conclusion of the Skywalker Saga is fine and mostly satisfying—but unexpected or bold it is not. Here is our spoiler-free review.

[Silver Surfer]

In a nutshell, what we have here is two-and-a-half hours of amazing direction and buzzing action, with JJ Abrams helming what may be the best fan-serving addition to the franchise (it’s the finale, of course it’s going to try to wrap everything up in a neat little package for us).

Although it lacks the more cohesive, streamlined storylines of its predecessors, Episode IX is buoyed by always-dazzling visuals, satisfying emotional beats and solid performances

[Silver Surfer]

When the closing credits roll, you'll be forgiven if you breathe a sigh of relief. The franchise has ended; your childhood has not been wrecked. The “Star Wars” films are not really over, anyway — just on “hiatus,” per Disney — which means the dead will surely speak again.

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker': Satisfying conclusion

"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" tries so desperately to service the fan base that it loses sight of the story it's telling.

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' is too busy making unnecessary references to the franchise it forgets to tell a good story

J.J. Abrams decided to play revisionist with Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, and in doing so created a mess.

The leaks had me worried, but... damn. This is not what I was expecting.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

A lot of these idiot critics were praising TLJ and now they’re apparently trashing RoS for not being like TLJ

I call that a good thing lol

 

[jmc]

This makes me very sad. I knew deep down the odds were stacked against this film after how the last two films went. But seeing this crumble so far is really just sad. There was just never any plan. And to me that's more unforgivable than anything Lucas did in the prequels.

 

[spiderman2]

The score is different on the main part compared to the right side where is has a list of movies. So they are not updating at the same time or something. So i am not sure what its score is or how many reviews it has yet.

It really feels like these last 2 are gonna flip who loves it and who hates it because the majority of critics dug The Last Jedi. I mean if this keeps going the RT rating will be a huge drop after the 1st two. I wasn't expecting that at all.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Those are all the reviews I could find. Please be careful as some might contain spoilers.

"The Death of Skywalker"

This is sad to see.

 

[spiderman2]

Damn. This is unfortunate as hell.

Well fans and critics love TFA. Critics loved TLJ but fans hated it. Now Critics hated ROSW. So critics are 2/3 in this trilogy. Question is will fans also be 2/3 or are they going to hate this to and be just 1/3?

I was when I started reading the spoilers, then saw the run time. This sounds like episode 8 and 9, that still has to acknowledge TLJ exist, while dismissing it. I am so curious how I feel about it.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Shocking. Critics loved TLJ so now they're throwing hissyfits over TROS because it doesn't respect it
