It's not unlike a rollercoaster ride in that it has just enough thrills to satisfy fans, but you can also see exactly where the ride begins and ends before you strap in. Dec 18, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

For a movie predicated on satisfying fans, "The Rise of Skywalker" is a distinctly unsatisfying conclusion to what had been an imperfect but mostly good few films. Dec 18, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
