Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Lerritsnow — 17 Dec 2016

Unexpectedly bold and brilliant. This was not the neutered,Disney version of Star Wars I was expecting. In fact this was a very ballsy movie that made a lot of uncompromising creative decisions. There were moments that called to mind Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket in that last act.

And in some key ways it goes evenue further than those films. Hands up - I was not expecting this to be this good.
