Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I walked in excited and walked out a smile that I couldn't wipe off my face!

Rogue One was a story almost developed to perfection, at every point your on the edge of your seat and can't help but feel invested in the story. And the Vader scene was epic in of itself, just made me tingle.

The amazing cinematography, fantastic scenes, and a final act that made this an Epic movie, and a must watch for every person, Star Wars fans and others shouldn't miss it.

On par with Empire Strikes back and probably one of the best movies of 2016.

We want more!

this was amazing !! and the last scene wirh darth vader ♥_♡ was awesome
10/10 for me

Thoroughly enjoyed it, start to finish. They did an excellent job of mixing in visual elements from earlier Star Wars while maintaining cohesion with more modern effects. The final scene is amazing, must've had a team of artists to pull that off. Great story, perfectly complements the better films in the series.

Oups! I just realized that, for some reason, this movie had fallen between the cracks. It was quite some time since I watched it but I seem to have forgotten to write a post about it.

For me this was one of the best of the new (after the original trilogy) Star Wars movies. It was fun, entertaining with plenty of good, old-fashioned Star Wars action. I generally do not like prequels but this time I felt it was nice to get a bit of the background to the statement that “a number of spies died to get this information” in episode IV. We were even provided with a bit of an explanation as to why the Death Star had this silly weakness in the first place.

The actors were doing a decent enough job of it. The chatty android was fun without being totally silly. It was a nice roller coaster ride of action, improvisations, and gung ho ludicrous stunts inside and outside of various forms of transportation means.

As usual with Star Wars the science part of science fiction is somewhat lacking. What looks cool is what is put on the screen and screw science. When reading books I am more sensitive to such things but for a Star Wars movie it works well enough.

Some people seem to be dissecting the characters and dialogue, trying to put logic into it as well as wanting to have more emotions and “character development”. Come on! It is a Star Wars movie. It is supposed to be all action and visually stunning.

On that this movie delivers. Sure the plot is not really the most developed one and has plenty of faults. The movie is till a hugely fun Star Wars based science romp though.

Together with Andor, this is the best SW production so far. I can watch it anytime. Let's hope Disney learns from this after the succes of Andor.

This is my favorite cannon movie at the moment, SOLELY due to the Lucas-Fucked OG trilogy. That aside, this movie is fucking perfection, and on top of that, I just finished season 2 of Andor, and it is all that much fucking better!

By far, my favourite of the Star War movies. Great CGI. Epic soundtrack. Human stories. Great performances. Many wonderful cameos. Heroism at great cost. The power of hope. This was my second viewing of many more to come. I give this film a 10 (perfect) out of 10. [SciFi Action Adventure]

The problem with prequels, with almost all of them, is the general story has already been established. You know what will happen. That was true for Ep I to III and it is true here. So you can say it is about the journey and not the destination. And the journey in Rogue One is worth every minute. I am a decade long Star Wars fan but had you asked me some years ago if I think this story needed to be told in detail I probably would have said "no". And I would have been wrong because this is one of the best SW movies ever. I don´t compare it to Force Awakens on purpose as I see Force only as part of a story that needs to be told completely whereas Rogue is in itself a closed chapter.

Beside the hated CGI characters and, yes, some negligible minor flaws, I love everything about Rogue. It has some amazing moments that had me hold my breath. The visuals are awesome. It builds up towards an end where, despite the fact you know what will be the outcome, you feel with the characters.

And for someone who never has seen any Star Wars movie (yes, those people do exist) you can watch this first or between Ep III and IV because it takes nothing away from those other movies.

And that is how you do a prequel.

this is the best star wars movie ever made and i'm tired of people pretending it's not. the ending that leads directly into A New Hope still makes me emotional after multiple rewatches. yes, the cgi faces are awkward, but they are roles that would have been impossible to recast. it is a beautifully made movie with a great story that does incredible justice to the original trilogy.

Best Post-Disney Star Wars movie, and it’s not even close.
