My 1st impression of ROGUE ONE:
It is an entertaining movie. Solid, but nothing more. I wasn’t really emotionally invested in the characters and the story. TFA was much, much better. The Vader stuff was nice to see (especially his castle). CGI Tarkin looked interesting and almost convincing. CGI Leia looked awkward and stiff. The soundtrack was okay, but not memorable.
7/10
At least the movie is a nice gathering point for all Star Wars facets (OT, PT, Clone Wars, Rebels).
So, after my 2nd viewing of ROGUE ONE, i’m still stuck at 7/10 for this spin-off. It’s just a solid action movie with mostly uninteresting characters, prequelish narrative (we knew they would get the plans in the first place, right?) and distracting fan service elements.
