  I gotta respect whatever producer said “hey what if we took a break from desert planets and ice planets and for once did a planet that won’t be miserable to film. So, like, Bahamas planet?”

  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★½ 69

  Rogue One had one mission: To tell a vital story in the Star Wars Cinematic Universe. Mission accomplished!

  While The Force Awakens catered to fanboys and the all important toy sales; Rogue One, well, goes rogue. Yes, we have a few familiar faces. Yes, there's mad homage to future events in New Hope. But, it's not obvious, and it doesn't get in the way of developing the main characters in Rogue One. 

  Speaking of characters. Finally, Donnie Yen has entered the building to the average Western Hemisphere movie watcher. I've loved Donnie for years, and in my opinion, he's the breakout superstar as the blind bootleg Jedi, Chirrut Imwe. I can't forget Felicity Jones' heroic turn as Jyn Erso. The…

  Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★★★ 11

  Overwhelmingly fine. Man, oh man, this sure is a fine movie. Those characters are definitely very fine. The writing reeks of fineness. Oh by gosh by golly the story sure is fine. It's all fine. I had a fine time watching it.

  To be fair tho, Krennic and K-2SO are amazing. The last 10 minutes are sufficiently powerful and dramatic. The action is stellar. Fits very snugly into the canon and compliments A New Hope nicely. I understand why this is a fan-favorite for a lot of people; it takes itself way more seriously than the other Disney Star Warses. Feels much more real.

  Like I said, I think it's fine. And that's enough.

  Review by Evan ★★★½ 38

  The last 45 minutes are worth the price of admission alone. But I'm sad to say the first two acts are pretty "meh" to be honest. People are really comparing this to The Empire Strikes Back? To each their own, but I don't get that whatsoever. Rogue One isn't even in the same ballpark as The Force Awakens for that matter. This films biggest issue is the lack of interesting characters. The characters are what makes Star Wars my favorite movie franchise. Sadly, in my opinion Rogue One doesn't have any. After seeing Force Awakens Rey and Finn stuck with me for days after seeing TFA because they were superbly written. I can't say the same for the characters in…

  Review by Matt Singer ★★★ 5

  The least shocking fact in the world: Gareth Edwards was a visual effects artist before he was a director. The dogfights in Rogue One are incredible. Every time Edwards cuts back to the skies above Scarif, I lean forward in my chair. And then every time he cuts back down to the surface, where a bunch of thinly-sketched characters are trying to transmit a MacGuffin by way of the most ludicrously convoluted communication technology ever conceived, I just let out an exasperated sigh. Edwards makes working with highly complex digital effects look so easy. And he makes working with actors look so hard.
