Oh don’t mind me Mavimao, I’m only here for a day or two venting my frustration at watching another Star Wars film that disappointed me. I don’t begrudge anyone else a different opinion. Pretty soon I will go back to occasionally popping in only to check up on restorations of the OOT.

I guess I don’t understand what you expected. For years this was built up as “how the rebels stole the death star plans” and you complain that it’s a film about…people stealing plans to the death star.

I didn’t expect anything, but I was hoping to be surprised and see a good movie. Maybe something that was enjoyable, but also skillfully made in all areas: great script with characters I can really get behind, sharp dialogue, beautiful visuals, exhilarating “wow” special effects, a memorable score, etc.

But I don’t want to criticize Rogue One too much. I can’t praise it by saying it’s the best Star Wars film since 1983, but I can say it’s the least bad, if that makes sense.
