A movie for fans, kids and to sell popcorn

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2017)

I have to say I am getting tired of the Star Wars saga. Since "Phantom menace" I am starting to see how all the script are made using a cookie-cutter. And the female-hero thing is nice, but I think it is a little overdone by now. "Rogue one" is no exception to that rule: strong little girl loses her parents to the bad guys; grows alone, poor, and full of resentment, and in the end gets her revenge. Sounds familiar? We've being there like a trillion times. The only difference (which is a BIG difference) here is the end. Which I liked A LOT (finally something that really resemblance what really happens). The cast is great, but what really steals the show is the CGI characters. It is obvious we are still far from developing flesh-like CGI characters, but I have to admit the ones shown here are pretty promising. A movie for fans, kids and to sell popcorn.
