New yet Nostalgic, Surprisingly Brilliant.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2016)

Rogue one is a perfect addition to the Star Wars saga and is exactly what it needed. It fits perfectly in between Revenge Of The Sith and the original (A New Hope).There is only a couple of iconic characters shown, which I believe was necessary and they were not over used which gave the film great in dependency. Although Darth Vader is shown within the trailer, he is seen as much as The Joker is within Suicide Squad. The main villain called Orsen Krennic played by Ben Mendelsohn was fantastic! He portrayed a great balance of fear through anger and was clearly shown as a coward too. Also, the great amount power he is given, gives him unpredictability which leaves you constantly on edge. The heroes show concentrated amounts of courage and bravery which brings you quickly emotionally attached towards them. There acting was tremendous and a lot better than the new characters in The Force Awakens in my personal opinion. The beginning is quite slow but certainly not boring and most certainly necessary as it develops story and character thoroughly. And as gets towards the final battle it becomes extremely epic and will give big Star Wars fans Goosebumps! One thing I was disappointed by was that they did not include the infamous opening credits giving a small back story. Chirrut Imwe, a blind and wise warrior played by Donnie Yen and K-2SO voiced by Alan Tuydk were very memorable characters for there brilliant lines and their awesome fighting skills. The scenes were visually stunning and the story was very well plotted. I most definitely recommend this film to anybody even if you have never seen a single Star Wars film in your life.
