The time has finally come, the concluding movie to the 9 part skywalker saga that has spanned over 40 years has come out, and it's mainly a hit with some misses. The Rise of Skywalker kicks off around a year after Rian Johnson's The last Jedi and we are immediately thrown into the action, which is unfortunately where this movie has its flaws. J.J Abrams has so much to catch us up on almost as if the last movie never even happened therefore for the first act - second act we as an audience are constantly moving around from action to action just to get up to speed on everything that is happening in the world, almost to a point were it is all overwhelming not giving us enough time to take it all in a have a breather. But where the movie really kicks off is the last act, J.J and co screenwriter Chris Terrio really bring in all the Star wars nostalgia they can as well as some impressive action set pieces to effectively conclude this saga to a satisfying ending. Performances all around were great especially when Kylo Ren and Rey were on screen together. Another favorite of mine was definitely Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, as he also got a lot of enjoyable screen time. Overall while there are some flaws with the plot and overall first half of the movie, the things that we have grown to love about star Wars - the X-wing dogfights, the lightsaber duels, the camaraderie. Are what really bring us back and show us why we all love Star Wars.

This movie was amazing, from the beginning to the end Tarantino keeps u obsessed with the world of Hollywood in the 1960s and I could have stayed there for hours and hours and hours. The performances in this movie are sublime especially from Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. While Margot Robbie doesn't have as much screen time as some might think, her presence in the film is definitely felt as she perfectly everything that goes into playing Sharon Tate. While this movie may feel slow the ending is so Tarantino that is feels all worth it. From the direction to the acting to even the music this is a beautiful movie and a must see for anyone.

This is by far not a bad movie, not at all. Jason Mamoa is one again great as Arthur curry or Aqua man and is joined by a star studded cast with actors such as Willem Dafoe, Nicole kidman, Amber Heard, and Patrick wilson. Where this movie excels Is in definitely int he action scenes. From the beginning to the end I was continuously amazed by these really well shot and choreographed action scenes and really added to my enjoyment of the movie. This movie is also visually stunning especially when we first see Atlantis for the first time. Where this movie does struggle is that their is just way too much going on in the movie, which overall leads to a messy story with no real cohesion , in addition the script at times is not the best as some lines are too cringe. Overall this movie is very entertaining but has its flaws. But The DC seem one step into the right direction with these movies.
