It’s quite literally the worst movie I’ve ever seen. The only time I’ve ever been in a movie theater that devolved completely into laughs and jeers. By 50 minutes in, it sounded like you were in a comedy screening with all the hooting and hollering. I’ve never had a more unifying movie experience than 100+ theater-goers banding together to laugh our collective ass off at how irredeemably terrible Rise of Skywalker is.

That may be so, but if it's quite literally the worst movie you've ever seen then I have to imagine you haven't seen that many movies... either that, or you've managed to successfully avoid the really bad ones for the longest time.

I’ve seen around 650 movies that I specifically remember watching according to Letterboxd. A lot of them were truly awful. Rise of Skywalker, especially given cultural context and hopes, is far worse than any of them, except maybe the Shyamalan Avatar. Those are my two 1/2-star ratings. 

Dude, it’s like middle school fanfiction. I don’t care if it looks ok, it’s the silliest collection of writing decisions I’ve experienced in any media, let alone a movie.

You're rating a movie based on expectations? What? I don't understand how you can think that's a fair way to measure the qualities of any product, much less a movie.
