I was pleasantly surprised with Rogue One

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2017)

I found it significantly more entertaining than The Force Awakens, and one of the best of the series. I can't put my finger on exactly why I found it so much fun. I saw most of the others in theaters, but this one only on my computer screen (Netflix), so it wasn't the immersion factor.
I generally dislike the whole Small, Beautiful Amazon Who Can Beat Up Lots Of Big Strong Males trope that seems to be filling our screens lately. The not-quite-yet-ready CGI tech on the dead actors' character faces was annoying. The ending was a bit too predictable for my tastes (although I guess I should have known going in ....). And of course the whole "The FORCE" nonsense is annoying throughout the series.
Also, a bit of rank cowardice somewhere in it might have spiced it up some, setting a contrast to the unrelenting self-sacrifice.
Still, I liked it. A lot. It's a well done story of 'ordinary' people taking on what they know are nearly impossible odds against a great evil.
