MOVIE REVIEW:

It's finally here! The conclusion to Disney's sequel trilogy has arrived, and it's time for the latest episode in the Skywalker saga to conclude 42-years of Star Wars films. And, as one would suspect, the disparity between critic and audience reception is as typical as ever. With a not-so-favorable percentage on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and a fairly positive response from audiences, The Rise of Skywalker is turning out to be another divisive Star Wars film across the community. Who would have guessed?

Nonetheless, The Rise of Skywalker went on to make plenty of money in its opening weekend, dominating other films that debuted at the same time, not least of which was Tom Hooper's latest musical adaption, Cats (which barely made 5% of its projected budget).

But, money is money is money. What matters is whether or not Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is any good. So, is it? Well, let's find out!
