Offensive rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2017)

I am 15 minutes in, and I find myself desperately longing for the atrocious prequels made by Lucas. That's how bad this movie is. It is boring, it has no sense of style whatsoever, it certainly doesn't feel like Star Wars, and the screen writing is abysmal. How do you make a Star Wars film that generates no thrills and fails to draw the viewers into the action in the first act? The original Star Wars started with a boom. It sucked you into the story instantly. Empire Strikes back made everyone amazed with the Hoth scenes, and hooked the audience from the start. Same thing with Return of the Jedi. These films all had memorable openings, with scenes and lines of dialogue true fans know by heart. Can anyone remember what happened in the opening of Rogue One? Will anyone pick any of these scenes and show them in film class or on TV as examples of memorable film making? No way in hell. I won't even say anything about the crap that followed later in the film, I have no more time to waste on this rubbish film.
Zero stars.
