I thought he was really really well done. Leia wasn't. I also liked how Vader looked like his ANH suit, and I thought that was great. I think they are far too negative. Yes, the characters are not very interesting. But the action was great. And I liked K2SO. | ||

I try not to think "I know that actor!" and the like while watching the movie - it just spoils things for no reason. The Tarkin was well done, let's not take that away from them. | ||

First off, it's a complete clone of Star Wars Episode IV in terms of the story, everything from starting on Desert Planets and ending with the destruction of the death star, to the tie fighter vs Millenium Falcon scene, to the mentor's death at the hands of the main bad guy scene. Secondly, there's the absolute ridiculousness of Starkiller Base which even in a world with crazy impossible astrophysics like Star Wars this stupid super weapon completely breaks any kind of immersive believability. So we have people criticizing Rogue One for not having great standalone characters + Show Spoiler + (despite the fact you knew they were all doomed from the beginning) The action sequences in Rogue One IMO are OBJECTIVELY better than anything in Episode VII (unless you're a super fan of lightsaber duels) and the story is comparable in quality to Episode VII and contains just as many unique and memorable moments. I went into Rogue One with high expectations and I went into Episode VII with very LOW expectations and Rogue One still left me with a much better overall opinion when it was said and done. | ||

There is a list of Rebel military commanders that was dear to me when I was quite young: Jan Dodonna, Carlist Rieekan, Crix Madine, Admiral Ackbar. One of my favourite tie-in of the old Rogue Squadron game was that Rieekan was your commander. Any EU reference to the cleverness of Dodonna was a highlight for me. His insignificant role in this film was disappointing, but not unexpected. I think that's also why Thrawn (and his Rebel/ New Republic counterpart Iblis) appealed so much to me. | ||

I just rewatced the episode V, which mostly considered one of the best in the series. There is a 20 minute at the start which doesn't add anything to the plot. Skywalker goes out sightseeing on an ice planet and gets caught in the storm etc. And then there's that overly long chase scene with Han constantly advancing on princess... Movie kinda starts at yoda's house. Nowadays movies don't do such things, they jump straight into main plot or the action. This sometimes leads to shallow characters whom you don't connect or care about, but overall it's up to the personal taste I think. I personally don't like long scenes that doesn't add anything to the plot. | ||

All in all a 08/15 Hollywood action movie with good looks but not a lot of substance. IMO Episode VII clearly better. Bang Average 5/10 | ||

Bang Average 5/10 Funny how you described Episode 7 while saying Episode 7 is better. XD | ||

Luckily it slowed down after that but i was thinking i might be getting lost in this very fast if they continue at this rate. | ||

My girlfriend who isn't a huge star wars fan cried through most of the movies, so you know the drama is real and kicking even for those who don't understand the universe. As for those who do, just enjoy the movie, at least they're not bad adaptations of movies that came out in the 70's... | ||

Still think this might be my favorite Star Wars movie since ROTJ even after repeated viewings. Still think this blows The Force Awakens away even after repeated viewings. I seriously still cant believe how good this movie is. I also still cant believe this somehow escaped the Disney corporate mediocrity police and was somehow released to the public. your favorite movie silent of the lambs ? :d i have the same thing with the dark knight,i can watch this movie 1 time x week without getting bored | ||

Funny, when Episode 7 was released everybody loved it and I was one of the few in here who disliked it. 1 year later everybody is talking about how bad Episode 7 is and how awesome Rogue One is in contrast. Lets see what people say about this movie when the hype has settled. | ||

Rogue One was great for what it was, it was a glimpse into Star Wars history and it accomplished it tremendously well. So since I didn't vote my final vote would've been, it was a great amazing movie, much better than the mediocre Episode VII. | ||
