Rogue One
The hype was real and so was the disappointment. Yeah I said it, disappointment. It was incredibly filmed, great special effects. But that's all it had going for it. One of the problems with the movie was the lack of caring for its characters. It tried to do pretty much nothing to care about them. In episode VII people said about Rey that she was a Mary Sue character because she was able to do a lot of things. I completely disagree because we saw in what environment she grew up, so knowing what she knew wasn't a stretch.
Well I call Jyn a bipolar character. When she was introduced as an adult she doesn't really care about the rebellion or hope or any of that nonsense regarding going against The Empire. But after seeing one hologram of her father she goes into instant rebel leader giving speeches to others, just like that. It was like flipping the switch.
She lacked development and so did the rest of the characters.
The movie was an ok/meh more meh movie, it just wasn't a Star Wars movie. The two scenes with Vader are the only remediable part of the movie. The acting was mediocre at best. If it didn't have the Star Wars name attached to it; no one would care about it.
Final words, if you want amazing well filmed scenes and great special effects then it's a thumbs up. If you want a movie then it's thumbs down.
