Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Keithajohnston — 19 Dec 2016

This film generates mixed feelings. On the good side the visuals excel, the ending is superb and there are some wonderful moments. It adds significantly to the impact of Star Wars: A New Hope by focusing on the sacrifices made to get the plans to Leia.

On the downside the film fails to generate an emotional connection with the characters, which is its major sin. The main character is poorly done, the story is complex and unconvincing and its overlong and boring at times. A missed opportunity.
