Sitis Review

Find out what happened when I watched Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker  three times. This started out as a fairly straightforward review of the latest Star Wars movie. But it turned into something else after I watched it again. And something more when I watched it for the third time. So here's my breakdown of all my thoughts after each viewing. SPOILER WARNING First Watch of  Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Rating: 2 1/2 out of 5 stars I absolutely love Star Wars . I love Star Wars so much I made an exhaustive (now outdated) chart about all the changes to the movies. I've watched them too many times to count. So the movie that would supposedly end the decades-long series captured my imagination. I like  Force Awakens , I'm not a hater of The Last Jedi , but I hate Solo . So you could call me a diehard Star Wars fan and an avid moviegoer. Walking into the theater Rotten Tomatoes score was fresh in my mind. I saw tweets of critics and comments from others trashing the movi...

Gemini Man (2019) - Henry Brogan (Will Smith) Read this review to find out if Gemini Man  (2019) is worth watching. Gemini Man has grand ambitions to be a psychological action-thriller but it falls flat. Ang Lee and Will Smith try hard to combine a rip-roaring action film with a psychological thriller. But they miss the mark. Will Smith's latest action movie is the story of Henry Brogan (Will Smith) who's an elite government assassin. He's frequently called the "best" in the world.

He says the decades of killing dozens of people is wearing on him. Suddenly he's targeted by a young hit-man hunting him down. Along with a fellow agent named Dani Zakarweski (...

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) - Peter Parker / Spider-Man (Tom Holland), Quentin Beck / Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) Spider-Man: Far From Home is a good movie, but not as good as others. Jon Watts'  second Spider-Man movie succeeds on many levels. As the end of Phase 3 of the Marvel movies, it excels but as a stand-alone movie, it lacks something. Warning: Minor spoilers for Spider-Man: Far from Home . The movie picks up five years after the events of Avengers: Endgame and everyone including Peter Parker (Tom Holland) are trying to rebuild life after "The Blip" where everyone disappeared for five years thanks to Thanos. Spider-Man is traveling the country for charity with his Aunt May and decides to go with his class on vacation to Europe. He's tired of saving the world and is looking forward to spending time with his friends and telling his friend Michelle "MJ" Jones (Zendaya) how he feels about her. After getting there he sees the country attacked by ho...
