Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
We just wanted ONE thing-and they didn't give it to us
This is the last stars wars. The last star wars! It has to be epic! It has to have everything! The culmination of decades of love for the saga and stories all coming to an end.....we got nothing. We wanted to see our old, beloved Star Wars heroes fighting together. In the end tying all the loose strings together. Anakin finally bringing "balance to the force" like he was supposed to. Are we just supposed to forget about Anakin. Are the last three movies supposed to just make sense only if you through away what happened in the last six? Hate the prequels as much as you want but at least they compliment and stay true to the original saga in terms of story telling and piecing together Anakins story. The latest movies do no justice to the original films or the prequels. Anakin and Luke are supposed to be the saga's main focal points. I get there are new characters and the new generation is here to take over and be our heroes but they needed a moment-maybe when Rey was fighting Palpatine--to have all the (main) Jedi fighting beside her. Didn't Rey even say "I am all the Jedi". It would have made the movie and the saga complete. Have Anakin (or Darth Vader), Yoda, obi-wan, Luke, and maybe even mace windu and Qui-Jon fighting together. All the heroes fighting together as one in the end. It would tie everything together. Bring our old heroes with the new. Fighting one last epic battle. But no, they just let Rey be the face of it. This one movie shouldn't just focus on itself or the last two. It should complete the whole saga. And it didn't. That's all it needed to do. Have that one moment of past and current heroes together. That scene could have been that "must see" moment that fans talk about but there's none of those moments in this movie. It's really really disappointing.
Holmes & Watson (2018)
It's a comedy, not an Oscar film people
It's a funny movie, and I'm not sure why people are giving it hate. It's meant to make you laugh, not awe you or inspire you. The plot is odd and so are the characters but the movie is funny. If you don't find it at least half-funny then you probably have an awful and unsophisticated sense of humor. Those that are upset are probably triggered Republicans since they poke fun at Trump a few times! Got over yourselves movie snobs, take it for what it is!
