Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Mark W — 11 Sep 2017

The best part was the sarcastic robot. They could have made a movie about that dude and I would have been fine with it. Gin was AWFUL, arguably the worst part of the film. The actor sucked, but it wasn't mainly her fault. She was INCREDIBLY poorly written. Her character changes on a whim, every scene she has a different personality.

The ending wasn't super good, either. I don't remember the rest of the characters because they are so one note and boring. There was an almost Jedi, who knew the force and stuff, I guess? But he never uses the force, and he has a stick. His friend was a big dude with a big gun. Simple enough.

The pilot who had almost no introduction and died without me realizing it. The dude that seems like a peice of garbage, is still a peice of garbage by the end. Gin (or Jin, I really dont know, and I don't care enough to find out) and him fall in love even though they spent all but 5 minutes together for whatever reason.

At the end, everyone dies, which is sad I guess. I liked the robot, I wanted him to survive. Pretty much everyone dies in vain. Robot saves Jin, Jin spends forever finding the plans, Mr. Pilot guy called the other rebels, I think. Almost Jedi walks into the middle of a feild and dies, and then his buddy gets mad and then walks into a feild and dies as well. Garbage and Jin smooch as the planet explodes.

But then comes the coolest part of the movie, and IMO, they should have used stuff like this for the whole movie. Darth Vader busts in and kicks the crap out of everyone. Its awesome, and the only memorable part.

Personally, this movie is pretty bad. Its not memorable, fun, and it doesn't have good or interesting characters. Its a shame, because it had potential. Maybe if they got rid of Jin and Garbage, it could have been better. It wasn't even CLOSE to The Force Awakens, which was a good time from start to finish. When you have a good movie, you care less about the bad stuff. (I know FA wasn't perfect, but I still had fun watching it) If you have a boring and non sensical movie, the flaws come out, and it becomes much worse. That is why I will perfer The Originals to the Prequels. I thought thats why everyone else did too? But I guess not, according to this movie.
