Lacks in character development, but excels in literally everything else

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2019)

Overall a very solid and entertaining film. It's a bit weak in character developement, as very few of the characters feel fleshed out (however, Mendelson as Krennic is a pretty good villain in my opinion). However, the film is technically proficient in every way and the special effects are incredible and convincing. All the ships look real and there aren't many shots that look fake, perhaps with the exception of CGI Leia at the very ending scene. There are plenty of action sequences that are a blast to watch, especially the final battle on Scariff, which is a visual joy to behold. Also, the Darth Vader scene at the end is as amazing as everyone says, however brief it is. These are mostly scattered thoughts but overall, I really enjoyed the movie and it's overall pretty damn good and really feels like Star Wars. I probably will give it a 7.5-7.8/10
