The perfect fan-fic of Darth Vader

Rating: 5/10 (24 December 2016)

How describing Rogue One? Could I say it is a bad film? No, certainly not. Before going further and saying how this movie is, I wanted to say that it isn't either a good one. It is a basic film that is on the exact point of winning and losing at the same time.
I am not going to talk about the special effects because I think there is no need. What I would like to talk about first is the characters of the film.
None of them is well developed. We have for example Felicity Jones' character who watches her mother die and is introduced as the main character of the film. Everything she does is because the script asks her to, but at any point she really works like a realistic person and shows how she is. This happens, actually, with all the characters.
We have some cool characters (I mean, a blind samurai!) but as I said, none of them is well developed and they are not credible. They are archetypal. There is one of every type with no good reason, just because they have to be there, and that's all.
Their stories are told one after the other and they try to piece them together. This doesn't work very well as the structure is not well made and some of the sequences have no link with the next.
The rest of the movie is not bad. I mean, the worst part of it are its characters, with no charisma. I think the movie is a bit scattered, and there are good moments that aren't well told: they try good dramatic moments, but without interesting characters they can't be good. They could have been "wow" if I could have connected with the characters, but I can't when "x" character has appeared 3 minutes and is not well introduced.
Let's talk about Darth Vader.
His presentation sequence is very, very poor. Later on, he appears more times and that's when you say "wow, okay, this is Darth Vader and... this movie is the perfect fan-fic". This is how I will resume the movie.
I will say also some good things about the movies: the fights are pretty well made. There aren't many cuts in the screen and you see almost all of the movements. This isn't easy to do, actually, and makes the film more fluid.
At least, I can say that this is not the worst movie about Star Wars. Episode II: Attack of the Clones is still the furthest this franchise has gone.
