JohnnyBlaze Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Anyone that has seen it, where would it rank among the rest of the Star Wars flicks? I'm assuming it's not touching Empire and is way better than Phantom Menace. But other than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that?I hear it ranks high in terms of action (it's been referred to as a "war movie") and low in terms of fun ("slow paced" and "dark"). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 A friend described the movie to me as slow in parts but the last 30 minutes were fantastic and "that girl" (felicity jones) is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) It reminds me a bit of a combination of elements of Star Wars and Return Of The Jedi. There is a lot of exposition and set up early on, but that's as expected since we know almost none of the protagonists. Action sequences are very good and a really fantastic space battle. Vader scenes are solid and his last bit is really cool. Very dour. Not a footloose and fancy free affair. You pretty much know what happens to these people, so the humor is in fits and starts but really the undercurrent is serious as hell. Not a "fun" movie in the usual Star Wars way. More "Wars" and much less gee whiz. Edited December 18, 2016 by Presto-digitation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Lots of bits from the trailers NOT in the film or changed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 This film does a great job of tying together the prequels and original trilogy, including some actors from Eps 1-3 reprising their roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The main complaint I'm hearing about this movie is the soundtrack. Apparently a lot of people think it's really lacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I missed John Williams' score - it could really have elevated certain scenes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that?I hear it ranks high in terms of action (it's been referred to as a "war movie") and low in terms of fun ("slow paced" and "dark"). Yeah, it puts the 'war' back in 'Star Wars'. The battle scenes are fabulous. It is very dark and bleak, but also very funny in places. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I really want to see this. I enjoyed TFA so something tells me I should give this a view. The trailer looked fantastic in the cinema and the cast looks strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I loved the film. Certainly the Darkest SW film in a while. and this film Certainly emphasis on the Wars in Star Wars.

theredtamasrule Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Just saw it and hells bells was that entertaining. It's worth seeing again just to look at, visually it's amazing and overall I thought it was a damn fine movie...and the scene with Vader kicking everyone's ass was f***ing spectacular (admit it, we've all wanted to see him break bad and here's your chance). Very gritty kinda like the dirty dozen of Star Wars and the council meeting felt a bit like the Council of Elrond and I expected everyone to stop and look to Jyn to simply walk into Mordor and steal the plans. I guess there's the obligatory ranking that we have to do and I'm afraid of recency bias but Rogue One is right up there with Empire way above the others. The prequels are all dogshit as far as I'm concerned and the original has such godawful dialogue that I can really watch it anymore....and then there's Jedi and those insufferable Ewoks...so here we go: EmpireRogue OneStar WarsJediThe prequels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I am not a Star Wars fan. I like most of the movies. They're entertaining. I just don't get the rabid fandom. With that said, I thought Rogue One was okay. Nothing new or groundbreaking. Typical plot and cliched scenes (think Galaxy Quest). [6/10] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
