An interesting start to the Star Wars Anthology movies.

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2016)

Rouge One was directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla)and was written by Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) and Tony Gilroy (State of Play) and I myself was very happy with the outcome of this film not really the writing but I loved the action scenes in this movie and the fact there was so many nostalgic moments. The story follows Jyn Erso played by Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) helping the rebels get there hands on the plans to the death star now going in I thought there would be no real surprises but they throw in a lot of surprises there which explains a lot about the original trilogy and the Death star. So I would say the writing was there but it just didn't feel like I had that connection to the characters like I did with the other movies even if this is one movie unlike the three with the original movies or prequels or even the new I didn't care about a single one.I will admit going in I was kind of worried that this movie might suck not because its a Star Wars prequel but because its something new they have never done an anthology movie and this is there first attempt and they did a really good job and due to the lack of advertising compared to last years episode 7 which was everywhere. Overall there are cool nostalgic stuff in this movie for hardcore Star Wars fans but should be a good film for the casual audiences.
