Incredible adaptation!!!

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2017)

There are more passionate Star Wars fans than me, but I've seen enough movies in my lifetime to know what is considered a good movie. Not a true Star Wars fan, I watched this movie just because it's available and have nothing else to watch. I've heard about Rogue One and thought to myself, "Oh great. Another prequel??!?! You've got to be kidding me." Well to my surprise, this prequel drew me in a lot more than all the other prequels did. It concludes right up to Star Wars: A New Hope, just to give you an idea of the timeline of this film. There are surprises in this movie that I did not expect. Familiar faces all across the board, it goes into the suspense of another group of resistance fighters in trying to defeat the Imperial Alliance.There are a few surprise characters that I was very happy to see and completed the whole Star Wars experience for me. It made me want to watch "A New Hope" all over again. That's how good it is.
The beginning was a little rough because there were quite a few locations and characters involved. I got a little confused at first, but it all came together towards the latter half of the movie. It was an emotional movie for me and especially at the very end. Some of the action sequences and acting were top notch. Again, it left me pumping my arm up and down to go with a loud grunt. There were proud moments when I wish I can just go outside and yell my head off to release some energy. Yeah, it got me that into the movie. That's how you know it's a good movie. If you are moved by it.
All in all, a somewhat typical Star Wars type drama. Just another prequel that adds more detail to the whole Star Wars saga and how things came to be. If you're a Star Wars fan, this is a must see. As for how the movie ends, wonderfully done! I can't explain the wave of emotions that hit me in the face when I saw who made an appearance. Those who've seen it, you know what I mean. Yeah, that good right?
