the ending wasn't good either. most of the crew survived just long enough to fulfill their singular purpose and then were promptly killed off. and the cameo at the very end was just bad.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


the atmosphere / aesthetic was spot on but otherwise it was not entertaining. Jyn was not believable, her transformation from "lol rebels idc" to "omg rebels are the best" was so unnatural.

I recently rewatched it, and my opinion of it improved. The Saw Gerrera bits remained a hacked mess and zombie Tarkin was monstrously unnecessary, but the rest was a solid-enough buildup to a very satisfying payoff.

Should have just made Scarif the entire movie. Basically everything leading up it is forgettable. None of the characters get enough worthwhile development to make me care about them being wiped out. On that note there were way too many side characters hogging up the screen time, especially the Rebels.

Uh it may be bad writing but it's also kind of the whole point. A group of no name nobodies that nobody gives a shit about and was never mentioned once in the OT did something crucial for the rebellion, and that's pretty much the end of that. Why would you need to flesh out their background more than the basics.

Do people have this same reaction while playing Halo Reach because its literally the same thing

No. I always knew the only good part was the final battle, and in that it was the CGI Star Wars Lucas should have made, and the rest of the movie was dark, uninteresting, and full of characters people don't remember the names of. Judging by fan reactions, his name is either Kung Fu Guy or Donny Yen's character.

Id say it was the fourth best Star Wars movie ever made.

That, however, is more of an indictment of how good I think the rest of the Star Wars films are than an endorsement of how great Rogue One was.

Thats what happens in most actual wars, though. Its nice to see war depicted without a chosen one/hero trope.

Also the logical next step is for them to make a movie leading up to ROTJ so we can learn how those great many Boffins died.

Once again we agree lol

Yeah it has one or two great action sequences but for the most part it's a terribly dull movie.

Yeah they drop like flies immediately after fulfilling some assigned task and I don't feel anything because they're mostly bland and underdeveloped in the film.

I really wish they'd just move away completely from this 60 year period of Star Wars that we see so much of. It's disappointing because you know how things are gonna end up since characters aren't in future movies.

That's what I'm a little disappointed with in the Mandaloraian because since Mando, Baby Yoda, Ahsoka, etc aren't in the sequel movies I'm just going to assume that they end up dying by the end of the series.

I really only had two issues with the movie.

1) The beginning jumps around way too much between planets. Not sure what the fix would've been, but it just felt like a disjointed opening ten or fifteen minutes.
2) Saw's hard exit stage left was just weird to me. Seemed like they could've kept a borderline identical narrative had he left with them and then just got offed on the Rogue One mission.

But all in all a damn solid film.

The last act is where they lost me. They introduced a likable protagonist (in contrast to Rey), then promptly killed her off in a completely emotionally lacking manner.

I didn't bother with Star Wars after that. I may have saved myself some headaches in not watching 8 and 9. As far as I'm concerned, there are three Star Wars movies and they're the unedited originals. I still have them on VHS.

I dont know why everyone has such a hard-on for this movie. I dont hate it, and I dont think its bad, but its by far my least favorite Star Wars movie.

I guess the funny thing to me is that people typically hate everything this movie does, but for some reason this one gets a pass. The characters are mostly bleh, the story is just ok, its strengths are action scenes, it absolutely fits the term this is a movie that didnt need to be made... but people are gaga for it.

That said, the last act really is incredibly well done. The whole Scarif sequence is a lot of fun, but if there was a more emotional connection to the characters, it would have been a lot more meaningful.

That Vader scene at the end was freaking awesome though.

It doesn't help that we essentially know how it's going to end from the start. We know they'll get the plans regardless of anything, so there's little to no stakes/tension in that regard. That, combined with the underwhelming characters, makes it really hard to care about anything in this film.

yes, there are lots of casualties in actual wars but people don't conveniently survive until their one specific purpose to advance the plot has been fulfilled.

I really liked Rogue One. The atmosphere, aesthetic, minimalism in dialog/story, pacing, etc. It really clicked with me. Funny enough I thought the last entire planet battle was really dumb, but yeah, that Vader scene was so good.
