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

I really want to give this movie a higher score but I just can't. I'll list the good things about this movie first. This one in my opinion has the best space battles, visually stunning and action packed.

It's more of a war film compared to the other star wars movies. Some of the new characters were pretty cool, their performances were actually good. Well acted, but not amazing. My biggest issue with the film would have to be character's backstory.

I'm not going to count the female protagonist,because the movie did a good job explaining her past, but what about the other guys? Some of the good guys were put in without a backstory, so the entire time while I was watching the movie, I was wondering about their backgrounds.

My second issue is the the second act, it felt a bit slow because the pacing. The third act was very good, well executed and definitely worth watching just for the third act in this film.
