Ancient Ways Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Way too many spoilers suddenly in this thread. C'mon now Ancient, don't be that guy.If I hadn't already seen it I would not want to know some of these things and the movie has only been out about a week AND the forum has a function to hide spoilers so I ask YOU not to be that guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I may end up going to see it again tomorrow. A friend wants to see it. Will be interesting to see what I think on a second viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your "don't be that guy" and raise you a "really?" If you're on the internet looking at a movie thread and you haven't seen it and don't want spoilers then don't be in that thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Saw it again.......and it's Way better than TFA......though i still loved that one. In fact this is the best SW film in a long time. Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations" Can I nit pick some elements? Yes. Was much of the facial CGI disappointing? Yes. Yet had the film been total crap, which it wasn't. The last three minutes were sooooo worth it. Bad Ass Vader was back!Actually a former member here worked on the facial CGI for Tarkin. I thought her company did a pretty good job. Though there is an uncanny quality to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why be difficult just for the sake of it? Sometimes it's ok to say "my bad" and move on instead of getting defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Saw it again.......and it's Way better than TFA......though i still loved that one. In fact this is the best SW film in a long time. Mick I must beg to disagree. TFA was a crowd pleaser for sure, but I didn't notice it sacrificing anything particularly notable in order to crowd please so darn well. Certainly the most emotional response I've ever had to a movie was at TFA. Rogue One is excellent, but not quite perfect enough for me to push it ahead of TFA.

I also prefer the Female lead Character to the one in TFA. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One is excellent, but not quite perfect enough for me to push it ahead of TFA.TFA was a near total remake of IV in a lot of people's minds and were disappointed at the lack of originality. Rogue one is very original especially for Star Wars. I have high hopes for the other standalones. The Han Solo movie has a lot less locked in back story that they have to shoehorn in the story. Really just need to explain how he met Chewie, lando and winning the falcon. The rest seems like a blank canvas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his face was enhanced, but I also thought it was a real actor. Leia, on the other hand, was poorly done in a jarring way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend whose opinion I trust posted a non-spoiler brief review. Under the category Bad was CGI faces not up to Disney and Lucas Films standards. When Tarkin shows up I'm pulled out of the film, staring at his mouth as he speaks. There are brief moments it works, they should have engaged a less is more approach when he is speaking. Leia looks like an animated character, why not use her face from New Hope? She speaks a single line of dialogue. Am I making sense? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I just came from watching it. IMHO, any of the nitpicking that's already been done in here is kind of a waste of time---background score, Tarkin's face, Leia's face, whatever. This is a good movie that remains fun despite not being as light as all the others. Definitely the best Star Wars flick to come out since Empire.

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The nearest cinema to me not only has 3D but also 4D for Rogue One. 4D would include seats that are vibrating, shaking, have leg tickling, mist, etc. Is this usual where you guys are? This seems more like a theme park attraction but the theater by me is just a regular cinema, albeit a good one.((Thinking this post might've gotten lost in everything)) No theater near you guys have this?
