A complete waste of time and resources

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2017)

Yet another movie with amazing CG and effects which make you wonder when reality and movie start and end. Rogue One is a prequel insert mini movie about how the Death Star plans were stolen and used in New Hope (Ep 4) to destroy the Death Star.
The movie seems like a fantastic opportunity but the downfall of the movie is the script. Along with the poor casting and the silly attempts to "Disneyfication" of the Star Wars franchise I quickly lost interest in the movie before the plans were even stolen.
I put an equal portion of the blame on the direction because the vision of the director is an interpretation of the writer. There are countless mistakes and continuity errors in the movie along with factual and illogical scenes. The ending being the worst of them all; as if they didn't even bother to check the original movies to keep continuity.
I didn't like the CG of Princess Leia and Grand Moff Tarkin was also bad, but not as bad as Leia.
This is a sign of things to come and with Force Awakens I see Disney doing a repeat of their princess motif for all their movies. I'm surprised they didn't CG big droopy sad eyes on the character, Rey, who was not only a weak character, but Daisy Ridley was poorly cast. Never before have I seen a more insignificant actress on the screen since The Human Centipede.
Mark my words. Disney will continue to add yet another princess to their stable of commercialism, ignoring the possibilities that there are young boys out there who deserve just as much attention than princesses.
