The last 2 minutes salvages a 4/10 rating from a 3/10. Nothing you haven't seen before.

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2016)

Its very pretty special effects but no substance, when you begin routing for the Dark Side to win things have gone seriously wrong with character and plot creation. The opening 20 minutes flits about trying to build a plot which is very weak but OK-ish (its hard to write without spoiling for others) how much can go wrong? the rest of the movie is spent where the heroes are bungling oafs and the baddies incompetent. Don't talk the hero to death, when you have the chance - shoot them and ask questions later! Another triumph for hype over quality. Not a patch on 4,5,6 or 7 but way better than 1,2 and 3. Any honest person having seen Rogue One cannot hand on heart say it is good movie, it may take a day or two before you finally admit it! I fear Star Wars has become nothing other than a money spinner and we will be suckered again and again.
