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.
Well it’s a pros and cons list; it’s supposed to have subjective things on it. I’m quite sure there are fans who watched the trailers and like the changes made to the film but I’m just not one of them.
