Sadly Over-hyped
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Without comparing this to anything else in the Star Wars universe, Rogue One lacked a lot of story and character development. It could have been two movies, if written with more care by a creative storyteller. There was absolutely NO character development at all. Everyone played a two-dimensional role and dialog was boring. The story was rushed to give us just enough to see what happened without putting us into the people and places that made it happen. As a result, the acting felt like a bad script reading.There was a lot of visual nostalgia, for sure. The effort put into the CGI was astounding. The idea for the story was great. Challenging, because everyone knows this story. Everyone who's familiar with Star Wars knows exactly how this ends. But this story deserves a character study. It needs to make the audience want to be involved. Instead, we got an epic 2 hour commercial for more Star Wars merch. It was beautiful, it was big, it ended with a shrug.
I finally got around to watching Rogue One. Unfortunately for me it was meh. I am a huge Star Trek and Star Wars fan, was looking forward to this one, glad it was on Netflix and I did not pay for it. Storyline is just ok, seemed like they just wanted to just get something out to make a quick buck. Too bad, there is such potential for a story line, but personally I think they blew it.
This Star Wars movies really need to stop.Very boring movie. the last good Star Wars movie was Return of the Jedi. Everything else are really bad sequels.
Typical 'fear men, not see this' story: poor repressed girl is abused by her father and his IDEALISM, REJECTS his idealism, LASHES OUT and CRY FOR ATTENTION by stealing the death star plans... Didn't Leia steal those plans? Let's dig Carrie Fischer up and check in with her... but I'm sure she's happy; not only have we effectively killed Han Solo the character, but we killed Han Solo's legacy. Interesting parallel with the whole consolidation of power to a single woman in this universe and how we glorify that just because she's female, while scorning men whose power is equal or greater--out of fearing the things she can't understand. #ItIsCancer
