Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)







Directed by: Gareth Edwards

Written by: Chris Weitz, Tony Gilroy, John Knoll (story), Gary Whitta (story), & George Lucas (characters)

Starring: Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, & Alan Tudyk





This film takes place before Episode 4. Anakin is already Darth Vader and there is already a rebellion.  Jyn is a fugitive with great connections.  The rebellion wants to get in touch with her father, who is building the Death Star.  Unfortunately, she has no idea where he is.  Her and others travel across the universe in search of him in order to kill him and end the Death Star.

Where to begin?

Okay first off, CGI of Grand Moff Tarkin is a big no no.  He looked like Dobby from Harry Potter films.  You can just tell off the bat that he was CGI because it was so noticeable.  They should have eliminated his part of made him have fewer lines.  It was that bad.

Despite this film doing well in the box office, it wasn't good.  For half of the film, it didn't feel like a Star Wars film.  It felt like it's own thing, which gave way to the dislike.  Once the space battles started, then it got better.

Another thing is that there were too many characters and locations.  The characters I could keep up with, but locations were a little lost on me.  What do you guys think?

Anyway, it was good, but not Star Wars great.  4 popcorns.
