Rogue One A Star Wars Story

[Remodeling Maidiac]

My hype level just went through the roof. The reviews were released today and the concensus is that this is one of the best Star Wars movies made. Some reviewers are even saying it is the best one.
They say it's full of Easter Eggs and that the new Droid is arguably the best in the series.

A few of the reviews

Absolutely amazing. Unlike any other Star Wars movie. The ultimate prequel.

Just saw it a couple hours ago and it was beautiful. Not a word you can use to describe any of the other Star Wars movies.

A friend of mine called me tonight and described it as Star Wars porn lol.

I'm hoping to be able to see it after client meetings tomorrow but tickets for yesterday & today we're already sold out. I hope that's not the case tomorrow

I'm very excited. It'll have to wait until next week, though - I've got work all weekend.

I mean it basically is. The entire movie is a tribute to the desperate group of rebels that do whatever it takes to get the plans to destroy the Death Star. Old faces appear in epic fashion, and new faces appear that it turns out you owe everything to even though you had no idea. It's fucking beautiful. The people who made the movie should be proud.

It lived up to the hype. Best Star Wars to date. Never thought one would beat the empire strikes back, but this did. Compelling characters, great story, the flow of the movie was perfect, great robot side kick, filled a gapping hole in The original Star Wars movie, showed the rebels (like all rebellions) are not the perfect angels as they are always displayed and there ending was poetically tragic.

Also the Storm Troopers were actually good shots and good soldiers. What I hated about the other movies is these soldiers trained from birth are horrible shots and even worse soldiers. They absolutely fixed that in this movie.

My only grip was not enough Vader.

I saw it in 3D and I don't think that is necessary. However they had some 1st person space ship scenes that might be awesome in IMAX!

I hesitate to say it's better than Empire but I thought about going there. I had a couple gripes with The Force Awakens, which overall I liked, but zero with Rogue One. Going to see it again with a new group of people tomorrow.

I just got back from the movie...WOW.......it is an actual movie. It is not silly the way Return of the Jedi became.......it was an actual war movie.......and the producers, and director...had balls........they did something you don't see in movies today....

Spoiler Alert.....

Spoiler Alert.......







( They did not care about sequels......)

This is the Star Wars movie they should have made instead of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.....thank the Force that George Lucas wasn't involved......

There were obvious things in the movie.....typical of movies today....but it did them and you could ignore them......

And Vader......he wasn't on screen long....but that moment............someone finally used him right...........great, great scene.....

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Just saw it at a midnight show. Blew me away.

Fuckin' awesome.

Okay, some of my thoughts.

1) It was a much grittier movie than any of the other films. Now, in many way, I think this was good, because it felt "real'. Good guys were killed. (as opposed to the regular films where the heroes get fired at by hundreds of Stormtroopers or Battle Droids and never get hit, once.) This version of the Empire was much scarier and fascistic. The Imperial Military was actually competent.

2) Realism- Wow, people acted like real people would in that situation would. Jyn was really broken up by the things that happened to her. (Unlike Leia in the first movie, who was relatively unaffected when they BLEW UP HER PLANET!)

3) Cameos by Original Trilogy characters. In addition to Old Jimmy Smits playing Bale Organa, we had various tricks to shoehorn original trilogy characters into this film. The weirdest was Grand Moff Tarkin, who was played by Peter Cushing despite the fact Peter Cushing died in 1994. Thanks to the wonders of CGI and the Dark Arts, Peter was back as Tarkin in a pretty substantial role. (But not credited!)

4) Vader- let's talk about Vader here... That scene at the end where he's taking out rebels left and right. Wow, we finally get to see a truly bad-ass Darth Vader.

5) K-2SO - that was a fun character.

So overall, I approve of the movie, I thought it was really good.

Great characters. The robot was the anti-JarJar.

It had a tragic ending though

I thought the ending was beautiful. If you think about it,

Spoiler: Spoiler Alert

"A New Hope" is a story about getting the Death Star plans to the Rebels on Yavin 4, which is already a desperate enough prospect. Rogue One shows you that there was a whole other level of desperation involved in that same goal, and the ending makes the movie into a tribute to the people who got the ball rolling. They could really just tack Rogue One onto the beginning of A New Hope as A New Hope starts literally minutes later.

Thank you for blocking the spoiler. I'm hoping to maybe see it tomorrow afternoon if work permits. BTW, how do you do that spoiler hide thing?

Next to the insert media button there's this button that kind of looks like a poster presentation or something. If you click it there's a drop down menu with spoiler as an option.
