Better than 'The Force Awakens' but then that's not hard

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2016)

OK, having been so disappointed with 'The Force Awakens' (which was just a rehash of previous classic star wars films)
I expected very little from 'Rogue One', but, too a degree I was pleasantly surprised.
However, i'm not gushing, this film is OK but won't be a classic.
As with so many films it lacks real story, real depth, real characters.
Lots of explosions, 'gung ho & yeee ha' is no substitute for a good story.
Is it just me? But so many 'new' films are just dumbed down sanitised trash, suitable for all, average .
Where they clearly assume the audience are made up of Forest Gumps.
Where have all the story tellers gone ? who put these mediocre jokers in charge of so many productions.
In short this film is just 'average' it's OK, watch once if you have nothing better to do . 6.5/10
