The characters made the movie

Rating: 7/10 (9 January 2017)

I came into Rogue One expecting great things after "The Force Awakens" but overall I don't think it lived up to the expectations. Despite this I still thought it was a fantastic film.
I believe that the film started off quite slow and took quite a while for it to get into the action and this is unlike most other SW films as they go straight into the action.
The characters for me made the film more enjoyable as I thought they made the film. I especially liked the Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) as he took his hope from the force and it showed the true meaning of the force and what effect it can have on people. K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) for me was a great edition, the droid was funny and powerful, he was a great edition to the story line. When we see Darth Vader towards the end when he is murdering all the rebels it reminded us as fans of the great antagonists he was. This scene was one of the best in the film.
Rogue One for me was not the best of the SW films but it still supplied me with the SW feeling and why I love this franchise.
