Better than Force Awakens but not great

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2017)

Hmm, where to start, after Force Awakens hit the theaters last year, i said that i will not watch anything new that comes from Disney and has Star Wars in the name, i was so disappointed, even George Lucas prequels where magnificent achievements when you compare them to JJ Abrams directing. But somehow when Rogue One came to theaters in my town i said to myself i would go and watch it, and yes i must admit i had a great fun but nothing more from that, it is action and just action, like watching Rambo movie just set in galaxy far far away. I must admit i like the look of new planets especially planet Jedha, yes you can see the middle eastern influences especially city of Jerusalem but i like that a lot, that part of the movie reminded me on maybe the best star wars video game Knights Of The Old Republic, and yes i had a feeling from the beginning to an end that i am playing some good star wars video game, not watching movie, like mix of Rogue Squadron, KOTOR and Battlefront. Acting in movie is just i don't know what to say but there is no acting, maybe just from Ben Mendhelson as main Villain Orson Krennic, he really looks like ambitious man of Empire real villain without emotions, and Mads Mikkelsen as father of Jyn Erso, others are not worth mentioning, maybe Forest Whitaker but his role was too short. The biggest down was acting of Felicity Jones, so dumb and one of the worst acting i have seen on big screen. Even with all this flaws this movie is better 10 times than Force Awakens and feels more like Real Star Wars, but not expect too much, you will not find great acting, story and emotions and spiritual deepness like in first movies, but if you just want to watch good action, great filming locations, bunch of star destroyers and TIE Fighters these movie is for you. I give it 6/10, even Edwards is better director than Jar Jar Abrams.
