no spoilers: tros review
I saw the rise of skywalker a few hours ago.
I’m so heartbroken.
not because of the movie.
I’m heartbroken for the “fans” who didn’t allow themselves to enjoy it because it was so beautiful and exciting and stunning and bittersweet and yeah, flawed but overall just so amazing.
and you’ll never get to experience all of that. there’s no second first viewing. this rotten experience is all you have.
the last, I don’t know, and hour of the movie my heart raced none stop. I was an emotional ball of gasps, sobs, laughs, cheers and tears. after the movie was over, my friend and I just sat there, as people filed out, just gasping for air.
you call yourselves star wars fans and yet forget what it’s truly about and what it stands for: exciting space action, flawed plot, sometimes sloppy execution, fairytales, love and amazing score. that’s it. that’s star wars. and that’s what the movie delivered.
I was going to say I loved every second of it, but that’s not true. there were things I fundamentally disagreed with. some things just didn’t make sense.
but that’s star wars for you.
this movie had an extra level of difficulty since they had to write the story around unused footage of a deceased actress.
they did the best they could.
I’m sure at some point my brain will tell me to address the flaws but right now they’re nothing compared to all the emotions movie hit me with. I’m still processing.
every few minutes a scene from the movie pops into my head and corresponding emotion hits me like a train.
they delivered a film I’ll never forget.
YES 100% YES!!! THANK YOU
