Rogue One – A Star Wars Story – Review
It is no exaggeration to say that this movie has been my most anticipated movie of the year, and it’s been a good year for movies. To name just a few, Warcraft, Batman V Superman, Captain America: Civil War, Suicide Squad, Finding Dory, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. Nothing has made me want to go to the cinemas as much as a new Star Wars though.

TLDR: I enjoyed this movie a lot and will be seeing it again. I’ll definitely buy it on Blu-Ray. The battle scenes are absolutely amazing and the special effects are top-notch. I loved the character banter and especially everything that came out of K-2SO’s mouth. One of the best droids in the Star Wars universe. It also addressed one of my biggest gripes with the Death Star, so props for that. Now, this movie is not without its flaws though. The characterization and character motivations are very much lacking and the movie as a whole is not very surprising. I saw the ending coming a mile away – even before I’d set foot in the theater I knew how it was going to end and, lo and behold, it did. That said the positives far outweighed the negatives for me.
