Must see for real fans

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2016)

Yesterday I went to this movie without any high expectation but with a certain level of hope to avoid any disappointment. I was surprised to keep watching and consuming new information about places, characters and plot itself. I would really recommend to all no-fans: watch all other SW movies first before enjoying Rogue One. Otherwise there might be some 'not-understanding-gaps' because the movie does not really explain the background story and 'assumes' that you already know it. Of course, for real SW fans this one is not a problem at all.
Rogue One qualifies to reach (or even be on) the level of episodes Hope, Empire and Jedi. Visual effects are outstanding, space fights are not forgotten and there are some funny (droid) moments present as well.
Negative for me: That the emperor was not appearing - I would survive. But as much as the character of Donnie Yen was enjoyed, the only thing I was still missing - a real jedi combat. Only because of this I am not ranking this movie with 10. Everything else is outstanding.
Positive for me: Darth Vader. Especially when I started to think that the creators could produce more than just a long battle - Darth Vader saved the day within 1 minute! As a true SW-fan I almost happy-cried when Darth Vader engaged and demonstrated a true masterclass of himself.
Rogue One is a must see for real fans and definitely a good visual entertainment for non-fans. You will be not wasting your time.
