The first twenty minutes of the film was horribly paced, so much had happen in the beginning and it felt very rushed, as time went on by the end of the first hour it started to pick up its pace and build on its plot. Of course the Star Wars saga has many fans including myself and not everyone will be pleased and wish for alternate endings and yes, I do think the ending could've been more thought out and developed better but overall I found it relieving. The film answers most of the stories questions that we have been waiting for it to answer. Of course through the 2 hours and 21 minutes of the film, there was some unneeded scenes and scenes that raised questions that were never answered. Which upset me considering that the film was completely changed during editing process and that there was supposed to be a different ending. In my opinion, if the film is titled The Rise of Skywalker, the ending should've concluded with Rey being dead and Ben being able to overcome it all and rise as the last jedi. He should've been the one to continue on and burry the two lighthtsabers at the end of the film which ultimately would've had more meaning considering that he is actually in the skywalker bloodline and it would conclude with him as the last skywalker OR keep the ending there is but with add a twist and something to keep the audience at the edge of their seats wanting more. For example, Instead if the ending scene when Rey holds up her own lightsaber which appears to be yellow, it should've been Red. Which would've raised so many questions and would've created a more intriguing conversation. But all thoughts and opinions aside, I think if you're a true fan, you are ultimately impressed with this conclusion to the trilogy. Besides the fact, that producer, Kathleen Kennedy is known to make the films not as good as they could be, I think this was exceptional but for future films I don't think she should have the most say in this story.

Mary Poppins Returns
(2018)
Emily Blunt is a Powerhouse! Incredible Cast!!
19 December 2018
This is profoundly one of the years very best pictures! It is filled with pure bliss and the magic Disney has been aiming to possess is finally here and even better than expected. It is a genuine musical with great tunes and fun, poppy, meaningful lyrics that help tell the meaning of the story. Emily Blunt is outstanding and exceptional in this role as Mary Poppins, she makes the character her own and knocks it right out of the ball park with her excellent vocals and range! What a cast! The entire ensemble does an outstanding job working together and that is really how this film works is because of each meaning the character has to the story. Last but definitely not least, Rob Marshall does a fantastic job directing the entire film, there is no one else who could have revived the magic disney once had. I expect it to get nominated at the Academt Awards for Best Picture, Actress, Director and more! We should also expect to see Emily Blunt wins Best Actress at the Golden Globes and more! Extremely impressed and planning to see it in theatres for a second time. Highly recommend to see Christmas Weekend!
