Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Lambo442 — 03 Apr 2017

If someone is deprived of cookies for a long time and then they get a cookie - they believe that cookie to be delicious, much more delicious than it actually is. Well, deliciousness is subjective but at any rate they over-exaggerate it's quality, which brings me to Rogue One, which is actually quite a bland film that just cashes in on the franchise.

Ok so I like the move away from CGI, but even that was wrecked by their insistence on resurrecting a very dodgy, fake looking Peter Cushing. How do we know he'd have agreed to star in this anyway? Talk about Liberties.

So the characters are all pretty bland, especially the lead who has one facial expression for most of the movie. I don't know what Forest Whitaker's up to with that performance either, talk about over the top.

Shame he couldn't lend Felicity a few of those facial expressions seeing as he has so many. Someone just make a good Star Wars film please. How hard can it be when you have all that money? Let's have something a bit original, a bit daring, not this spoon-fed pap.
