Good:

  • Top notch cinematography

  • The plot and small things like the Cassian killing Galen thing

  • Force abilties are only used in one scene

  • Ties in perfectly with STAR WARS

  • Fun and energetic (especially the 3rd act)

  • Mostly amazing CGI

  • Funnier than expected

  • Vader was used sparringly and effectively (though this comes at a price)

  • New and interesting ship and Trooper designs

  • Felt like a war movie/grittier side of the Galactic Civil War

  • Director Krennic was an interesting villain and got a very just death

Bad:

  • 1st act was kind of disjointed

  • Most of the Rogue One crew lack real depth

  • CGI Leia and Tarkin

  • Vader should have had Tarkin’s role

  • Soundtrack is uninspired and hardly has any noteworthy moments

  • The effects of the reshoots is very apparent as there are a few lines that were in the trailer but were not in the film. The most important one being Krennic calling the Death’s Star’s power immeasurable.

Well, this really is only a problem if you’re the kind of fan that follows a production from beginning to end, watching all the trailer, etc. like us. And I hardly see how this would effect the actual final film. Once RO stops being a new film, the re-shoots will only be an interesting piece of trivia.

I pretty much agree with all your other points though. I just though re-shoots was an odd thing to include on a pros and cons list.
