Better Than Force Awakens But Not The Best SW Movie Out There!

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2016)

I really liked Rogue One and would recommend you see it. Now lets start with the good.
-The movie has some of the best visuals ever seen. The Death Star firing scenes and the space battles were literally earth shattering "No pun intended".
-The movie brought back memorable characters from the original movie. Grand Moff Tarkin, Princess Leia, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and of course Vader himself. I was thinking they would pick different people to play Tarkin and Leia but they just digitally added their faces to other actors and the results were stunning some of the best facial CGI ever seen.
-The final 45 minutes of the film contains the greatest Star Wars battle ever seen its Saving Private Ryan meets Space Sci-fi.

I really liked Krennic as a villain a man so consumed with his work and his rank within the empire that is ultimately leads to his own doom. Having the Death Star which was his crowning achievement kill him in the end was huge symbolism.

-Loved the Vader scenes. The finals scene of him rampaging through the rebel ship were one of the greatest moments in Star Wars history. They made Vader truly evil in this movie which re- enforced that even though Luke redeemed him in the end he is still a dark and twisted soul. We need a movie entirely about him!
-K2SO was brilliant easily up their with R2 and BB-8!
-Really liked Donny Yen as Chirrut and Jiang Wen as Baze
-Vaders Palace on Mustafar was sick!!!!!!
Now the bad.....
-Saw Gerrera's character was weak and not needed in this movie. He had no role to play besides middleman!
-Too many characters to get an emotional connection with any of them. Jyn and Cassian had a few stellar moments especially towards the end but they were still lacking.
-The first hour of the movie is actually kinda boring save for a couple storm trooper battles.
-Galen Erso's plot with Jyn just was not there and his death felt rushed leading to no emotion because the bonds are just not there.
-I thought the Death Star had just become fully operational in A New Hope but they could have completely destroyed Jeddah and Scarif had they wanted to.
-Strange plot holes!
Overall of you like nostalgic Star Wars mixed with intense combat scenes, gorgeous graphics and Darth Vader go see the movie.
