Am I the only one who didn't like it?

Rating: 5/10 (8 January 2017)

I've seen all the Star Wars movies, and while I'm not a massive fan, I can definitely appreciate the old ones after seeing this new addition to the saga. The original three (and following prequels) had a certain heart that was inherently missing from Rogue One. While the CGI wasn't as good, and the fighting wasn't as badass, it just connected viewers to the storyline a lot more than Rogue One did. Even the prequels had a certain charm, because you could see how hard they were trying to please Star Wars fans, and continue telling the story. This movie was trying to be cool and gritty, but it ended up ruining everything that Star Wars is known for.
What it lacked in charm, it also lacked in Star Wars-ness. You easily could have swapped out "death star" for any other futuristic sounding weapon and you'd have had your run of the mill action movie. It felt more like Avatar than Star Wars, especially since there were so many human characters and so few aliens/droids.
EFFECTS Rogue One was purely a money grabber, and you could see that all their energy had gone into the effects (although Princess Leia looked crazy fake).
You also couldn't really appreciate the CGI, because it just looked like live-action shots. Also, seeing the same things for 2 hours makes you pretty numb to it by the end.
SCRIPT The script was the laziest piece of garbage I've ever heard, and the part where Jyn finds the secret plans labeled "Stardust" could be seen from a mile away. The plot was so simple, yet I also found it hard to understand what was going on since the pacing was so choppy and there were so many irrelevant characters.
They repeatedly tried (and failed) to add comedy to the film, one example being the cringy banter between Jyn and the robot that no one cared about.
The fighting sequences were also too frequent, and it felt like the last 45 minutes were pure action. It made for a rather anti-climatic ending, since we'd already seen 100 explosions throughout the duration of the movie.
ACTING Everyone was fine. Literally no person stuck out in my mind, and no one had a developed enough personality to even distinguish a single trait. All the team mates on Rogue One were so blandly portrayed that I don't remember any of their names. The blind guy was actually quite annoying, and the praying thing got old after 2 seconds.
