Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Barn D — 23 Jan 2017

I am not easy to please in the movie department. I didn't have very high expectations for this movie. I was very pleasantly surprised. What could have easily been a money grubbing ripoff turned out to be a genuinely good film worth every penny of the ticket price.

I liked the use of the archival footage from the original star wars films and the artful depiction of acting personalities who are sadly no longer with us. Most surprising is that this may actually be the best film of the franchise since the original forty years ago.

Five stars!
