Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Wallop
This was the first time in a long time I'd gone to the cinema to watch a Star Wars movie. I had three young lads in tow, my son age 9, and his two buddies age 9 and 11. The girls had gone to watch Cats.
I remembered going to see the first Star Wars movie at the Odean in Bradford with my Dad and my bud Lee when I was 6, two very hyperactive boys. We sat through that movie and never made a sound, spellbound. I wondered how these three boys would react to this outing, and if I was going to enjoy the film at the age of 48.
The lads were brilliant, totally focused, their faces wide eyed and intense, ooooing and arrring as the action played out. Mine too. We all had a fantastic cinema experience as we watched a fantastic Star Wars story.
The rise of Skywalker did what it was supposed to do, just like the original, it entertained a family superbly and made a memory that wont be forgotten.

A heart warming and tender film brimming with a father's love.
I bought this film to watch with my son who was the same age as Natan when it was filmed. We saved it for a night when Mum was going out with friends. We loved it, the film is so easy to watch, and its truly relaxing. My boy thought that Natan was great and very brave, he romanticised about what he would do when he saw a Crocodile and an Egret, and wished he could catch fish and watch the Rays leaping.
I thought it was wonderful to see how much Natans father loved him, but I also thought it was wonderful to see how much Nestor loved Jorge and how they all were loving the time they had together.
All in all I think this is a special little film, and one my boy keeps asking to watch with me again and again. So I thank the film maker, and Nestor, Jorge and Natan for sharing that time in there lives with us, as it has become a special time for me and my boy to share together.
