Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One is a direct prologue to the original trilogy.
It sets up the story perfectly, giving an insight into the struggle and desperation of the Rebellion, emphasising the urgency for the destruction of the Death Star.

So while reading these reviews I was beginning to become skeptical myself, they rantedSo, I saw "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" last night and I was actually very impressed. I read a lot of reviews before I actually went and saw this film. So while reading these reviews I was beginning to become skeptical myself, they ranted and raved about how the Disney keeps introducing planets and characters that they want us to fall in love with or force upon us and have never heard of. This is a side story all on it's own, so we are going to meet characters that we don't know, we are going to see planets that we haven't seen before, and that is ok.

"Rogue One" is probably the best Star Wars film since "The Empire Strikes Back", it leaves us right where it is supposed to chronologically in the saga. It has you pulling and falling in love with all the characters for the most part. The little cameos that we see here and there are well placed to give you that little nostalgia feeling.

If we all remember in "Episode IV: A New Hope" where the leader of the Rebel Alliance Mon Mothma says that a lot of people had lost their lives to recover these plans. Well "Rogue One" is the story behind what she was talking about.

Jyn Erso the daughter of Galen Erso, was played by Felicity Jones, an English actress known for playing the role of Jane Hawking in the film "The Theory of Everything" in 2014. I am sure now she will be known as the actress who starred in "Rogue One". She played the role with poise and gumption, bringing the character to life with the strength that her character stood for in the saga. We first meet her character at an adult age when she has already been captured by Imperials and is then "liberated" by members of the Rebel Alliance. Those Rebels would be Cassian Andor and K-2SO played by Diego Luna and the delightful Alan Tudyk. Diego Luna plays a rough around the edges and very secretive scoundrel role in this film, where you don't know if he is good guy or bad guy, while Alan Tudyk plays his sarcastic and very blunt comedic sidekick that is sure to leave you laughing and begging for more.

If you are going to go see this film, keep an open mind that this is a story that we knew little of, and that Disney did a great job bringing this story to life and giving us more of an insight on what the Rebel Alliance went through to overcome the great evil that was the Empire.

This movie isn't meant to be compared to any of the other episodes that we have seen in previous years. It is to tell the prequel story of the most beloved Trilogy of all time. So don't go to this film with doubts, go to see this film with the hopes to catch a glimpse of something you have never seen before, there are no preconceptions of what to think, because this is a whole brand new story, so you can take it for what it is for, a wonderfully filmed movie, with characters you can connect with for the first and (spoiler alert) the last time.

The film has everything, AT-AT's, AT-ST's, sarcastic droids, Dog Fights, real plot lines and a grand finish! A must see in theaters, don't wait to Redbox this movie, you need to go see it in theaters to appreciate it's full value.

I hope this review was helpful, and I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did.

Vader is still a beast!

This movie delivers just that.

We can all agree that some scenes are too long, or hurt the course of the movie.
But overall, it has everything a movie needs to be a GOOD Star Wars.

Aliens, original world, space battles (and what a space battle...), land battle...
And this movie is dark. I mean, "The end justifies the mean" could be used to describe the rebel moves...
The ties to the ep III and IV are well made. The use of the CGI was unexpeted but welcomed.

All in all, this movie is a must for a Star Wars fan.
For non fan, compare it the Saving the Private Ryan with lasers :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My review on the movie Rogue One(2016).
1.An individual can visualize and enjoy this movie in two types i. As a Normal space battle flick ii.As a star wars movie.
2.This is 2 hours of a climactic, heart-wrenching, no **** straight to the point event. Yes, I saw this movie as a star wars movie 'cause I know the story lines and characters.
3.MACHINES USED: X-wing fighters, U- wing fighters, Y- wing fighters, imperial I- class star destroyers, TIE-strikers, Resistance star destroyers,{ AT-ACT, AT-ST} walkers: cargo carriers, clone-tank.
TROOPERS USED: storm-troopers, death-troopers, shore-troopers, and sand-troopers.
4. This story is about the bunch rebellions named Jyn-Erso, Captain Cassian Andor, Chirrut Imwe, Saw Gerrera, K-2SO(actually an imperial reprogrammed machine). Bodhi Rook. named Rouge-One. these five people will make you tear up for sure, awesome char' build-up. The movie is all about stealing plans located at SCARIF(kyber crystal refining planet) from imperial and transmitting it over to rebel-alliances. If you know about the star wars- a new hope(1997), you see Princess Leia handing the death star plan Chip over to R2-D2. 5. Tone and cinematography of the movie is gorgeous, exclusively there's a char who's blind and the way camera angle is set when he senses the movement is gorgeous, even the hyperdrive chills jus chills the way fighters arrive, ships arrive, are awesomely shown.
6. There's no point in discussing the story, it's better to acknowledge the way story is executed 'cause story is straight to the point.The execution is way better, way courageous than Star Wars VII : the Force Awakens. 7. I loved this movie to the core, it's heart-breaking and hope-bringing. The third act will BLOW- YOUR MIND. 8. Darth Vader OMFG he is damn terrifying. Princess Leia is CGI of the younger version. In the end when they ask what is this ? while giving the chip.She replies HOPE. SNAP END CREDITS. GOOSEBUMPS.
VERDICT: Go, watch it, Irony I walked all the way to my home from the stop chanting " I am the force, and the force is with me" you'll get the reference after the watch. Way Way better than Star Wars VII. I loved it to the core… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give Rogue One a 10; perhaps it is a bit generous as I have been praying for a darker Star Wars movie for a long time (incidentally, about the same time I discovered Knights of the Old Republic). The casting was excellent, and I can't really think of a major flaw worthy of taking a mark down on the score. Of course, those who cry that their favorite characters died at the end of a good movie will find plenty of reason to go from 10 to 0 real quick, it was to be expected considering you never see or hear of these characters after this event in the Star Wars universe. I mean seriously, guys, Star Wars itself ought to have a dark side, too. On a more technical note, the soundtrack fit really well, the pacing felt right and flowed naturally to me, the cast was great (especially Donnie Yen), and I did feel a certain tension and excitement to see it through to the end. I've mulled it over since seeing it last night and this movie did what Star Wars has needed to do for awhile: take a chance, a risk; Star Wars needed to branch off from showy lightsaber duels and bland character development and be rich, explore ambitions, explain stories and give viewers a reason to care. It did just that, hence many of the negative reviews for having killed off most of the cast by the end. Turns out, not everyone can handle a darker Star Wars, but if that's what you've been after for years like many others, you should not miss this movie. It only scratches the surface on what Star Wars movie producers and directors need to do, but it's a start and a pretty good start, too.… Expand

Honestly, ehen I heard that this was subject to re-shoots I expected the worst. Actually, I was expecting something along the lines of Suicide Squad – fragments of good material stitched together to create an incoherent mess. But not so with Rogue One. The movie is entirely coherent and if the reshoots hadn’t been reported I think this would have looked like the product of a singular vision. It’s very dour. It has an authentic war feel to it. It doesn’t feel like this has been made to appeal to chil;dren, rather to adults who have grown up with Star Wars. And that’s great. Rogue One proves that Star Wars can cover many bases successfully. There are a few standout moments here, holy s*** moments that are among the best in the entire series. It starts off slow but compelling, and the film builds and builds to a mind blowing climax. The scenes on the beaches are unlike anything we’ve seen before in Star Wars and bring to mind Saving Private Ryan and the space battle is full of inventive action. This bodes well for future standalone entries.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mit Jyn, Krennic und Galen hat man hier 3 perfekte Charaktere geschaffen, die in einem perfekt geschriebenen Drehbuch wunderbar zusammen funktionieren. Felicity Jones lieferte hier als Jyn Erso die beste weibliche Hauptrollen-Performance des Jahres 2016 ab. Die Schwachstelle des Todessterns wird optimal begründet und die Darstellung der Brutalität des Imperiums und der enormen Umstände, die die Rebellen mit ihrem eigenen Blut gelassen haben, um an die Pläne des Todessterns zu kommen, wurden ebenfalls optimal dargestellt. Die Endszene ist einfach episch göttlich und als solche ein absoluter Reminder an den Film. Diese Szene wird man auf ewig im Kopf behalten. Auf das Drehbuch zurückkehrend: Wie man das Ende gestaltet hat rundet den Film perfekt ab und lässt keinen einzigen negativen Raum mehr offen. Das Drehbuch ist einfach perfekt geschrieben. Dazu hat Rogue One im Jahre 2016 das mit Abstand beste Produktionsdesign, da kommt nichts auch nur ansatzweise ran. Insgesamt ist Rogue One ein weiterer perfekter Star Wars Film, der die Magie in dieses Franchise zurückbrachte und der mit Abstand beste Film 2016 war.

This is actually a good prequal. Everything I wanted, and better. The characters are amazing and the story is almost perfect, or maybe even perfect. It is one of the best movies in the series.

This is how Star Wars should be, a darker, gritty, more realistic space opera. A piece of art in the movie industry by crew and cast. Excellent. Well done.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personal favorite movie because I really connected with Jane Erso. I loved the change in her character once she finds her place within the universe and finally accepts what her mission is. I enjoyed all of the action scenes, the musical score, the visuals, the differentiating ideologies that are trying to get the mission completed. I like all of the viewpoints on life and how to keep on living despite their being no hope or little hope. I will by this movie on Blu-ray and have it as part of my movie collection. Doesn't shy away from the realness of war and there is no Jedi to save anyone. Its human, it feels real and I enjoyed watching. I loved it and I will continue to love it!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rogue One kept true to the Star Wars franchise, while deviating enough to create a memorable and unique movie. The characters were very memorable and well done. I think Jyn was the perfect protagonist for this movie and I loved her throughout. Chirrut Iwe and K2SO made the movie for me and I enjoyed their timely humor. The ending was fitting as we don't see any of these characters in a New Hope. The movies pace was perfect and I never felt bored and it never drawn out. All these elements combine to create the best Star Wars movie other than Empire. Overall, I would give it a 9.7.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This for me is the best Star Wars movie ever, everything is so good, the action, the connection with the old movies, for todays resources this movie cannot be better, pity that the same director did not make Episode VIII, so until this point for me Disney was not destroying Star Wars. Everybody says "Disney destroyed Star Wars" but this is only because of Rian Johnson who really destroyed the saga forever with that ridiculous ep. 8 movie which is worst best seller of the history, Leia flying, stupid jokes like the "iron", those ridiculous birds, in that case better watch Spaceballs and poor Luke denigrated to the worst garbage of human being and with powers ridiculous for a Jedi, he died stupidly, please remake that film and put Rogue One director Gareth Edwards, Episode VIII should never had existed.I don't say that ep. 8 is a bad movie because Luke died, in Episode VII Han Solo died and killed the possibility to ever play together with Luke again, but anyway I liked the movie as it was a decent plot, if you are going to kill a super idol do it for a good reason, like it was done in Episode 7, not kill him because he got tired after use too much Jedi Power and leave episode 9 with nobody, even with a good plot you should be very careful if kill the Luke, now everybody is dead as Carrie Fisher died in the real world, whats the point of Episode 9? Who will be the stars, Chewbacca and androids? Unless they bring Lando to episode 9 for sure only teenagers will go to cinema to watch it. Fans of SW say "pretend ep.9 never existed" but it is difficult, specially that there will be an episode 9. Why Gareth Edwards does not make Episode IX and the next trilogy? I liked episode VII, but Rogue One is superior in every aspect, so why not bring the best guy for the next trilogy? I cant imagine how Gareth Edwards can fix the mess that Rian Johnson made, but I wouldn't be surprised that such great director would be able to find a way and give back life to the Star Wars Saga, Rogue One is so perfect, the last part of Darth Vader is the best of the best, also the CGI characters were awesome!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to commit, I'm a bit furious about the Metascore of Rogue One. A score of 65 while "the last Jedi" is getting 85 (and also a "must watch") is simply not acceptable. Rogue One is the Star Wars spin-off every fan wanted. It follows a clear, and most importantly an own story unlike the Star Wars Sequels. This movie explain some things who were always important for Star Wars: a new hope, and ended were all begun with probably the best Darth Vader-scene ever. I also liked that this movie wasn't that soft like the sequels are, where only the bad or old people can die. Rogue One gave me more interesting and way better heroes like "the force awakens" did. It finally AWAKENED a true Star Wars feeling in me.… Expand

jccii2016Sep 16, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rogue One isn't just my favorite Star Wars movie, it's one of my top 5 favorite movies of all-time. The story is extremely compelling and well-written and I thought all the characters, particularly Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor, were very well-developed. I could easily track why all the characters were making certain decisions and I understood why they behaved and acted certain ways in different circumstances. And while there's certainly a lot of great action in this film, the characters also have their moments to breath and really show who they are and what they believe in.

Jyn Erso and her relationship with her parents is the heart of the movie. She starts off so apathetic and resentful, and rightfully so, considering the trauma she suffered as a young girl. But once she realizes she's been wrong about her father most of her life, she knows the only way she can move on from her past is to find him and forgive him. And once she does reunite with him, she makes her complete transformation by putting her past behind her and embracing her hope and faith in order to fulfill her father's legacy. She might not care about the Rebellion as an organization, but she cares about the cause, her new family in the Rogue One crew, and especially her father's sacrifice. All the acting performances are stellar in this film, but Felicity Jones in particular did an incredible job of adding so much depth to Jyn Erso. The scene when she watches her father's message is arguably the best moment of acting in any Star Wars film, but throughout the entire film, Felicity added so many layers to Jyn's emotions to make her such a phenomenal character. Between the writing, directing, and Felicity's acting, Jyn Erso is without a doubt not just my favorite Star Wars character, but my favorite character in any film.

What also makes this movie a great Star Wars movie is that it took bold risks in terms of special effects. Star Wars has always set the standard for visual effects, and I like that they gave Tarkin such a prominent role in the film. It may not have been absolute perfection, but I have an enormous amount of respect for the creators efforts, considering that it took over a year to bring that character to life. Leaps of faith like this have to be taken, otherwise no progress is made with special effects, and future films will benefit because of the steps forward that Rogue One took with its visual effects.

Rogue One certainly has many moments of nostalgia, but for the most part, they all serve a purpose in the story. There's maybe one or two minor character cameos that weren't necessary, but this is a Star Wars film and moments of fun are necessary in order to make it a Star Wars film. If you were to eliminate more and more of those moments, the film would resemble Saving Private Ryan more than it would Star Wars, and that's ultimately not the goal of a Star Wars film.

In summary, Rogue One is a fantastic movie and I absolutely adore it. It's right up there with the Lord of the Rings trilogy as one of my favorites of all-time and I can't recommend it enough.… Expand

Outside of Empire strikes back this is the best of the Star Wars movies. The characters and aliens are a perfect balance of originality, yet with that undeniable starwars feel. There are several larger than life characters who are so well acted and portrayed and we care for them (Jin), we hate them (Crennik), they make us laugh (kso2, the best droid in all the starwars) and they make us cry (Cassian and Jin), they make us tremble in fear and awe (saW and vader), and they charm us (Chirrut Imwe KSO2). The Mandalorian is a good show, but I think it should take notes from rogue one. Mandalorian over does the muppet like cute characters that are kinda funny, but rogue one does it just right with a darker and scarier and grittier atmosphere and characters fitting of todays caliber of a darker yet more subtle style (the jedi with the wooden stick, instead of a light saber was better than the Jedi in most of the series), yet Rogue one is still cute with an array of cuddly yet formidable characters and it is much funnier than Mandalorian (after the rebels blindfold the blind Jedi he says “are you kidding me? I’m blind”) which is still good. whatever team made this movie, needs to be the ones to remake episodes 78 and nine, and be directing the Mandalorian as well. it’s been a while since I gushed over a Star Wars movie, but rogue one is phenomenal. i can't believe this does not have a sequel.

No giant idiotic plot choices like Starkiller Base and they didn't forget to do world building either. It greatly enriches Episode 4 and Star Wars in general, though I do wish we had more time with many of the characters.

Best Star Wars movie since Episode 6, in my opinion. I cannot recommend it enough.… Expand

this tilte is more mature and realistic then all the previous titles, i liked the fact there is no clown-characters, i liked very much the plot and many aspects of the setting which are at laest a bit more "realistic" then what was used to be in the franchise.

Rogue One has completely changed my mind on that. One can make a case that the first 30 minutes of the movie are a bit forgettable but ultimately they create the groundwork for the rest of the film, which connects phenomenally with Episode 4's first moments. Where Rogue One succeeds over Episode 7 is the visceral feel of the film. This is absolutely a space epic with futuristic technology and tons of gloss but somehow it all comes off with a little grit and loads more adventure than last year's Episode 7. Rogue One shows that there are stories worth telling in between the major events seen in each Episode film.

Whatever the next Star Wars film is, bring it one!… Expand

This might as well be my favorite Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back. It was absolutely refreshing to have a story that is not focused on an overpowered force-wielding protagonist, but on characters a little bit more normal. TheThis might as well be my favorite Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back.
