The magic is back!

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2016)

I panned Force Awakens (you can read my review). Due to my disappointment, I deliberately kept my expectations low for Rogue One. If you felt the same about Force Awakens, GO SEE ROGUE ONE. Great story, amazing CGI, good character development, no ridiculous villains, no characters mastering Jedi skills in 10 minutes. Music, script, acting all very well done. Felt like a genuine chapter of the original series. With Force Awakens, we got the rousing musical score at the outset and the traditional Star Wars logo and story script, then it all went rapidly down hill. Force Awakens did not deserve the Star Wars brand. Rogue One doesn't have these traditional opening features, but it deserves to. I call for these features to be re-mastered into the DVD version...
