Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2017)

I'm not the hugest fan of Star Wars but I still consider myself a fan of the movies. I love the story, I love the characters and I love the cast (yes, even in episode 1, 2 and 3). When I heard that Rogue One would be a prequel to episode 4 revealing how the Rebells got the Death Star's plans I was excited and interested. The inexistence of the opening credits left me insecure of what was going to come. The first scene of the movie, where the Ersos are being chased was completely stupid in my opinion. Why don't they all leave? Why do they leave their daughter alone and stay? Why does Lyra come back and pratically suicides? Well, I tried to forget that, since it was the first scene. Then the first scene with Cassian was extremely confusing and I still can't understand what happened there. Where was he? Who was the guy who gave him the information of the pilot?
I feel like the whole movie was: we have a problem > there is a risky solution for the problem > we're solving the problem > damn, there is a obstacle right when you were about to solve the problem > someone saves the situation and you solve the problem > well damn, there is another problem. And this is repeated throughout the whole movie.
It was extremely disappointing to be honest and even though I liked to know how it all happened that led to episode IV, I just think the movie was not done in the best way possible but rather in a mediocre way.
