Movie Reviews:

  • Simon Foster: “It carries the burden of being about odds and stakes, of legacies and consequences, of understanding destiny…”

  • Gimly: Is not my new favourite _Star Wars_ movie. But does contain my new favourite _Star Wars_ scene.

    _Final rating:★★★½ – I strongly recommend you make the time._

  • PeterJasonQuill: Fun Star Wars movie. Plenty of homages and nods to the original trilogy throughout the film, Andy plenty of cameos as well. Has amazing action sequences and enough thrills to keep any true Star Wars fan hooked right from the beginning. No opening crawl at the start for a change and a great score by Michael Giachinno, but still includes the original end credits with John Williams’ original music. K-2SO is a show stealer and is very funny as a character. Overall the best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back in my opinion. The force is with this one.
  • Lucky_Man: On the surface, this is a well-made action movie set within the Star Wars universe filled with nods and homages to “A New Hope” that will make you tingle with warm nostalgia. The reappearance of sets, costumes and characters from our favorite childhood movies might make you say “Now, THIS is a Star Wars movie!”

    However, nostalgia and making copious amounts of money on that nostalgia seemed to be Disney’s primary strategy with this movie. It’s mimicry, plain and simple. The CGI recreations of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher felt very dirty and a flagrant disrespect to the departed actors, not to mention jarring, for a first time viewer. The digital appearance of Grand Moff Tarkin disengaged me from the frail story and made me settle my stomach with a handful of antacid tablets.

    The story, writing, characterization is on-par with what you’d expect from modern cinema and the movie serves it’s primary purpose of being entertaining. But, as a long-time Star Wars fan, I just couldn’t help but feeling pandered to while watching this movie.

  • Per Gunnar Jonsson: 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.

  • Reno: **The episode III½.**

    So this is like a bridge between the original trilogy and the next three prequels. A story where the main characters from the original tale are not involved. Being a big fan of this franchise, I loved it. I did not expect big, so got entertained well. But pity that this wonderful characters are not going to return. This is just a one-off film. For seeing its overwhelming success, there could be a prequel, which has a very very slim chance.

    The story was like that had started in a half way. That’s why I wanted a prequel to tell us the Galen Erso’s point of view story. When he has been taken back to the base to work for the Empire, his daughter is the only one who escapes from there. After a few years later the grown- up daughter, Jyn, end up on the rebel’s side. When she hints a plan for them to strike the Empire, nobody considers it. But a rogue gang forms where they all does according to her saying. That’s the story, and how it all ends are the rest.

    The story was simple, but the action-adventures were good. Like what a ‘Star Wars’ fans want to see. The main drawback was there’s no familiar faces around. Even the original franchise style of title and credit presentation was off the beat. Though there were cameos. Darth Vade, Princess Leia, R2D2 and 3PO, including a small lightsabre fight at the end, just to satisfy the fanboys. Overall a worthy film, otherwise it would have not earned one billion at the box office, making one of the top 10 of all time.

    _8/10_

  • Matthew Brady: Dark Vader: “Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director.”

    Rogue One follows Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones) a Rebellion soldier and criminal, who is about to experience her biggest challenge yet when Mon Mothma sets her out on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. With help from the Rebels, a master swordsman, and non-allied forces, Jyn will be in for something bigger than she thinks.

    I had my worries with Rogue One, if I must admit. After the massive success of “The Force Awakens”, the universe of Star Wars has now expanded even more. There’s going to be more sequels, prequels, and spin-offs every year now. Why this worries me is because I fear I’m going to be sick of theses and not really get exited anymore. Star Wars should be treated like a three year event like before, it gives more time for the writers & director to really flesh out the story. It may seem like a long wait, but it’ll be worth the wait. But that’s not all. The trouble re shoots this went through and the ridiculous short deadlines during post-production. But after seeing the film myself, I can safely say that this new prequel isn’t a bad one.

    “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is a good movie. Not great or amazing, just decent. In my opinion, it’s not up there with “A New Hope” or “Empire Strikes Back”. It’s more in the middle for me. If I have to be honest, I actually enjoyed “Force Awakens” more than this. Yeah, I said it. The movie is flawed, but it dose have a lot to like about it.

    I can’t imagine the pressure Gareth Edwards must have felt making this, kinda like what Abrams was feeling. In interviews, Gareth has said he was a Star Wars fan and it was the reason why he wanted to make movies. So this is very dear to him and while there where some slip ups in parts, but I must say that he handed the material really well. Gareth Edward is very good at making things feel huge and the heavy scale of things. The action scenes were directed so brilliantly that it actually felt like a war movie.

    That’s what really surprised me about “Rogue One” is how dark and depressing it is. Some people may have a problem with that, since everyone is use to these adventures with are favorite characters. For me, I didn’t have an issue with it. Heck, I’m kinda glad it had the balls to go that far and be violent. The humor is very limited, but when there is humor is mostly from K-2SO (played by Alan Tudyk), who was just the best.

    The CGI in this movie was incredible and quite groundbreaking. I mean, it’s TOO GOOD. The way it blended with the real life environment and the action scenes was so good that half of the time I was watching computer effect’s on screen. How it was executed was so beautiful and quite the achievement.

    Now the biggest complaint I’ve been hearing from Star Wars fans is about Peter Cushing Digital Resurrection. Yep, he’s back to cinematic life through the use of state-of-the-art visual effects wizardry. He’s character Grand Moff Tarkin is in the movie, but instead of re-casting the role or kept his digital face in the shadows, but that’s surprisingly not the case. He’s in the movie quite a lot as you see him in full form and up close. This is getting a mix response from people and even I was a bit mixed on it. I was a bit weird out by it, as Peter Cushing has been dead for 22 years and seeing up there was hard to digest. But after letting it sink in, I thought it wasn’t too noticeable and in a few scene I actually brought into it. I thought it looked real when he wasn’t moving around or any close ups to his face. But that’s just my thoughts.

    Speaking of bringing back old characters, Dark Vader makes a appears in this. While he’s screen time is very short, but he steals every scene he’s in. Eventually the hallway scene, that was so bad-ass and one of my favorite moments in the movie. It’s great to see him and James Earl Jones back as one of greatest villains of all time.

    Now for the problems: The first half of “Rogue One” was a bit rough for me and I was kinda bored at times. I didn’t care or got attracted to the characters. The characterization was lacking and that’s a real shame, because Star Wars is all about the characters, as it’s the thing we remember from these movies. It’s not all about Lightsabers and battles, it’s the characters. Felicity Jones, Alan Tudyk & Mads Mikkelsen characters were the only ones that I cared about. The others not so much.

    Another major part of the Star Wars movies is the score. John Williams score is so iconic that it’s hard to top it. It’s the heart of the series and I kinda wish he did the score for this, because Michael Giacchino score wasn’t that good. But I’ll cut Giacchino a little slack, he only had 4 weeks to compose it and it is a tough act to follow. That goes back to what I said about the deadlines being too short.

    Overall rating: “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is a good entry to the series and it dose feel like a dark Star Wars movie. I may have problems with the movie and I have to be honest with that, but I do think it ties in very well with “A New Hope”. A plot like this was needed to fill in the 40 year old plot gap.

  • r96sk: A pretty cool prequel to 1977’s ‘Star Wars’. I wouldn’t say I overly enjoyed it, but it’s worthy for the purpose it serves.

    What stopped me from loving ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ was probably, mostly, the pacing, which I found to be too slow in parts. It never majorly affected my viewing experience, but I could feel it slightly dragging here and there. I also didn’t like the cast on anything more than a neutral/standard level.

    Felicity Jones does an admirable job in the lead role, I did like how they set her story up at the beginning. I also found any scene with Mads Mikkelsen good to watch, while Riz Ahmed and Forest Whitaker are solid; Alan Tudyk is OK as well. Diego Luna and Ben Mendelsohn, however, didn’t do anything for me.

    The story itself is satisfactory, the ending to it is more meaningful than I was expecting and features a few nice shots; the whole film looks lovely in fairness. I personally would’ve shaved 10-20 minutes off the run time and got more devilish antagonists, though.

    Still, it’s at the very least a good film no doubt.

  • Heine Lahn Petersen: One of the better “side stories” of the Star Wars universe. Being mid 40’ies 🙂 my first experience with Star Wars was the original movies on the telly, but I have since seen the remastered editions on the big screen as well as the new aditions to the franchise. In that perspective, Rogue One is among my top 5. It can be seen on its own but has good references to the original movies for the devoted fans.
