Forums - Movies & TV - Rogue One- A Star Wars Story movie discussion (spoilers)

So I am right after movie I must say that Rogue One was realy realy good, for me a lot better Star Wars movie than The Force Awakens.

It's true that this movie is diffrent from other SW movies especially when there is no force users except Darth Vader whose last scene where he was smashing through Rebels was so epic (honestly one of best scenes in whole Star Wars universe, lots of fans have been waiting for this!!)  although force is always there. Last battle is absolutely stunning (best battle in whole universe) and sth that Force Awakens was lacking. 

Of course movie has it's issues, but as a whole every single Star Wars fan should be satisfied. 

What are your opinions on the movie? Do you guys liked it same as me?

when lead actress talks, it's like she is singing. it kind of bothered me.



CPU: Ryzen 7950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

I thought it was bloody brilliant.

Very minor complaint was the constant location jumping at the start while they ere trying to establish the characters and plot, but other than that it's definitely worth the watch (and retroactively fixes one of the major plot holes of the originals).



It is a amazing movie, saw it yesterday with my GF and i loved it more than VII.

It's way better, although I don't think that episode VII was bad in any way.

Seeing it tomorrow hopefully but couldn't resist and spoiled myself on the Vader scenes and a bunch of other plot points a few days ago. Really excited to see it for myself!

How long would you guys say Vader has in the movie? I keep seeing 2-4 minutes being thrown around and i'm fine with a short amount of screentime for Vader as long as his few scenes are really amazing.

I thought that Vader would not have big part in movie (more like cameo appearance) but he was pretty decent amount of time on screen. And trust me, every single minute in movie is freaking amazing. 



I still don't get people's negativity towards TFA.

Either way, yes R1 is an awesome SW movie!

Vader is like 10mins total... one cameo-ish and one critical plot point.

I disliked the usage of one of CGI characters. One was awesome and done pretty well, the other would have been better to just not show a face at all.

Loved the fan-service as always and glad critically important long-time characters continued to be in the movies.

Plot was well done I thought and I liked how they explained why an obvious weakness existed in the Death Star.

Absolutely LOVE K-2SO! Such a great character.

I'm also loving how all these new movies are much more real. Something I was glad they were doing for TFA and I see they are continuing in the smaller stories. The sets, models and lesser number of CGI usage just makes it more real and more SW.

I wonder if the password for the shield was 12345?



Terrible CGI for the characters. Tarkin and Leia looked like they belong in Polar Express, not Star Wars. Also Darth Vader's lines were comical. "Be careful that you don't choke on your own ambitions." Lame. Bacta scene was awesome though.

First half of the film:

Second half of the film:

The movie starts off good with the suitably dramatic if not a bit predictable opening. 

But then it has a big lull where the story is kinda meandering from planet to planet and it's over written and not enough time is given to the characters to "bond" in the 1st half. 

But in the mid point of film with Vader shows up and we get into the second half of the film is all Star Wars fan boy porn. It's a little shameless in trying to please Star Wars fans, but for Star Wars "action" scenes this is the best Star Wars action film since Return of the Jedi. The space battles are awesome and a direct call back to ROTJ/ANH. And the Darth Vader bit at the end .... oooooohhh my. I was grinning ear to ear, not even gonna lie. 

It has probably higher highs than The Force Awakens (though Rey wrecking Kylo Ren was pretty bad ass), but it is a much more uneven film. The first half of the film needs a re-write.

By the end of the film you do begin to care for the characters, but it reaches a somber climax just as you're really getting a feel for the characters, which is in part a failure of the first half of the film to properly give them time to gel. 

Also the lack of John Williams' music is noticably huge, the score is bland. Well worth the admission price though. Will be seeing it again this weekend.
