Default Rogue One

Went to it last night, superb effort. Loads in there for SW aficionados, but equally as watchable for anyone new to the SW Universe.

​​​​​It's got the best third act of any of the 8 SW films, and leads right in to Episode IV. Even Peter Cushing is in it

I thought it was one of the better ones of the series. Story line and the action seemed to flow well together and loads of easter eggs.

Really enjoyed it and well worth the money!

Went to see it last night! I'm not the worlds biggest Star Wars fan, but really enjoyed that film! Slightly different style than the Lucas films which I prefered and enjoyed the drier, dare I say more British humour!

Well worth a watch even for non Star Wars fans!

just come back

yes enjoyed it - if I am picky a few details irritated me

the pilot wearing oversized swimming googles for one

some of the costumes looked daft, bits of washing machine overflow tubing wft

but the robot was brilliant - and the dialogue was very evocative

half expected my favourite Star Wars line of all time

"How many guns gold leader"

Was I the only one who thought it was a bit meh?

Story felt forced (bit like doing missions in an RPG)

Felt little or no connection to the characters

Visual effects were stunning, and links to EP IV were very cool.

About a 7/10

Totally with you here, but you left 10 minutes too early, I swear I`m not winding you up,
I turned it off the first time under a hour in, but have just watched it, the first hour is Sh ite,
The second is brilliant.

Felicity Jones looks cute in the poster.

Does she turn in a good performance?

Watched it yesterday, I enjoyed it. Peter Cushing CGI was just weird I thought.
