DS2 and I went to a matinee of Rise of Skywalker.
I had no expectations of any kind. I knew it was going to be really long, and it was -- and it felt -- interminable.
I had fun, during some parts, but DS2's refrain on the way out was That was a bad movie. It was, but I appreciated that they tried to fix some of the past two movies' more egregious problems. In the end, though, it's not possible to retcon two entire movies but they tried.
I'm still a sucker for redemption stories, and we got one of those. But DS2 and I both decried the lack of a character arc for Rey, who never got one.
With any luck, they'll stop making these movies for a while until they can figure out how to make a good one.
