Would have been amazing if when the water drained from Vader's tank, it zoomed in and showed Hayden who just looks at the camera and goes 'hey guys!'
I thought it was okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again, but it wasn't bad either.
The problem is that I really couldn't care about anything that was happening on screen. It felt like all the effort went into the fan-service, an they forgot they had to have good characters to hold it all together.
In my opinion, of course. Not enough to detract from the great stuff in the film and I can see why other people like the choices that were made. I guess listing all them out like that paints me pretty negatively
True, I guess up until the prequels, telekinetic abilities were always much calmer and more focused. Then again, having a scene which nearly mirrors the sabre scene in Empire would have been another instance of highlighting his progression since that film.
Okay, yeah, there was a plan. It was just a poor one. And 3PO's exposition didn't quite gel (though he may not have been "in on it").
6 is mainly hindsight, true, but it ties in to 5 which really was kind of awkward on first viewing.
I'm actually quite surprised at all of the negative impressions I'm reading, I came out of the movie really buzzing! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would rate it higher than TFA for sure.
I can understand the complaints about characters not being fleshed out, I guess with the time they had they couldn't build this up or they might have needed to make it a 2 parter. I had read the Catalyst novel before the movie so maybe that helped with me the back story a little?
Hoping that they will build up those characters in comics/novels which might help the movie on a re-watch?
One surprise that I totally wasn't expecting was seeing Tarkin in the movie, I'm glad that wasn't spoiled in any trailers. The person doing his voice completely nailed Peter Cushing, I actually said "wow" out loud when he came on screen. Sure it was a little uncanny valley but I'm glad he was in there.
Leia on the over hand looked completely weird to me, she looked really old for some reason. My actual first thought was weather they actually used Carrie Fisher with some heavy effects.

He was never that on the nose.
I hope you don't choke on those aspirations is a line reserved for Darth Schwarzenegger.
Vader always had a nice sense of sass and sarcasm to his lines, it's what made it even more painful to give him the whiny "Nooooooo" and to see him as pre-Mustafar Anakin.
"Apology accepted, captain Needa" when choking him to death
"Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly." - "no" - "Good. It would be unfortunate if I had to leave a garrison here."
my favourite line is still:
"I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am."
that's Vader's best joke within the entire OT, really.
I don't agree that the characters were cardboard cutouts without motivations, but let's not go into that too much here. The main difference between MCU villains and this is the fact that this is an 'Ensemble Cast'. This film had six main(ish) characters. In an hour screentime (which is generally the amount of time you have for actual setup in 2-hour films) you're not going to have time to go really deep into the lives, dreams and hopes of all six of these main characters. MCU villains are usually single entities that get no depth for no reason, since there is more than enough time to set them up as a credible threat. If every MCU movie had six villains, maybe then you would have a good comparison.
The only Rogue One character I truly had problems with was Saw Gerrera, because that just felt like the writers went 'well, people know this character from the animated show, we don't have to actually introduce him'. Guess what? Not everyone watches the Disney XD shows, so why should I care that he sacrifices himself?

So the general consensus is this -
- Poor characters. Given no reason to care about Jyn. Cassian is a complete non-entity with no character development.
- No villain except some dastardly cliche old man. And a cameo by Darth
- No 'wow that was cool' moments in the entire fucking film. They had DONNIE YEN but they did nothing with him. Criminal.
- Laughably bad CGI in places. The General and Leia were cringeworthy bad.
- Poor story. Let's fly to the base of the scientist that made the death star so we can have a chat with him and watch him get blown up. Then a little cryee 'father' scene that you didn't care about as you didn't care about the characters.
- Acting. Generally poor. Cassian had no charisma or charm at all. Jyn was equally glum and joyless. Whittaker gave a bizarre turn.

Rewatch the full scene...
Yeah, the audience seemed to think it was hilarious in the theater I was in, but of course it was written entirely for that kind of fourth wall reaction.
I wonder if I loved it because I only recognized two fanservicey bits, neither of which I liked. Everything else just passed me by. I thought it was a super well-constructed film.
Did you want me to add "at best, we only see half his face"? Like, they just used/shot Tarkin from more angles. There's a lot less of the subtle head-wobble you get in scenes like with Tarkin/Paul Walker in FF7 because it's a stationary actor who does really simple animations and never looks directly at/past the camera when speaking.
Just to be completely clear, the general consensus, the aggregate opinion, is an 85% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Most people like this movie.
Just like the general consensus on The Phantom Menace is a 55%.
A general consensus isn't what you, one person with absurd opinions thinks, it's what the average opinion is, which is quite favorable.
What are you doing? Are you hoping someone reads this thread, skims past, and decides not to watch this movie, or are you just so ignorant you don't know what general consensus means?
I disagree with all the items listed.

The action's better, the performances are better and I actually left the cinema with a smile on my face. So yes, by far.
I don't think you know what general consensus means.
Okay let's just go with Gyn and morally grey dude. Gyn had no motivation even as the film started, her direction and motivation was told to her. She is never her own person until probably the end of the film. She doesn't have one single defining trait. As for morally grey dude, I don't even know what they were going for. The film opens with us being told that he is not exactly a good guy, until halfway through the power of the boner turns him into a good guy.
... haha what? What are you doing? first you're saying that Phantom Menace is a good film, now you're reading a thread with mostly positive posts about the movie and announcing some weirdly negative 'general consesus'.
What are you doing here? Why are you trying to convince people who liked the movie that everyone found it to be as shitty as you did? What's the point?
Clearly you expect your Star Wars films to be different - with pod racing, babies flying space ships and weird rabbit-duck aliens throwing blue gummy balls at robots - that's cool. You're free to like that, but let's not try and claim this is or should be the majority opinion.

Honestly I found CGI Stark more "distracting" (though I still liked it) and thought Tarkin and Leia were more believable than both Stark and Pym (which I also like). *shrug*
Ya'll acting like it's CG Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy.

Can you not read?
No, that isn't the general consensus as there are just as many people saying they liked or love it.
The movie also has a very good rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Stop acting all weird.
Gyn's motivation seems like it was better told in earlier versions of the film ("I rebel" implies a bit more personality, for instance), but like... there's literally nothing wrong with someone being goaded into going along with someone else's plan.
This movie is very clearly The Guns of Navarone, and she's a soldier on a mission. That's really all there is to it. She doesn't need more than that. It's good enough. Her motivation is initially "I want to find my father," and later, "I want to get revenge by destroying this horrible thing." That's her motivation.
It's there, it's a complete, wholly realized motivation. She doesn't need more than what she has. She's a person confronted with a horrible thing, and she decides to stop it. That's awesome.
EDIT:
1) Seriously, watch The Guns of Navarone. It's one of the best movies ever, and yes, the entire motivation is like "okay, the Nazis have built these gigantic guns and are holding prisoners hostage. You need to blow up the guns, please," and then they go do that. It's all the movie needs.
2) It seems like some of ya'll want the Marvel Movie School of narration, wherein a character is fine, and then a bad thing happens, so then the character wants to fix it, and ultimately gains power to do so. And all the while, every single character's past and motivation is explained in painstaking detail, through lots of bad exposition.
He created a mess of a score in four weeks then.
not just revenge. but i guess she also feels that his legacy should be a different one.
His name should be remembered (hah, whoops) not as the one who created this machine, but as the one who helped destroy it. - by sacrificing his life, and his daughter sacrificing hers.
But yeah - their entire family was ruined because of the "Death Star" - her mother killed, her father abducted, her abandoned, her father killed.
her beef with this "space station" is a very personal one.

I honestly don't know what you're trying to say here. They shoot Downey from more than just one angle, and you see more than a single side of his face, and he's not only talking when he turns away. I didn't post that video because it was supposed to represent the epitome of that technology in every frame, only as a reminder to what was done there. I would have posted the entire scene, but the only version that I could find had a really shitty border around it, so I just figured people that have actually seen the entire film would have remembered how good that scene was...
I really, really liked it.
It certainly takes its time to set everything up for the climax. Almost reminds me of The Lone Ranger in a way, but, you know, good throughout (bad analogy but it's 2 am so eh). What I mean is that you're sitting there hoping the finale brings it back spectacularly and it does. The characters are a little weaker than I would've hoped, in that they don't get as developed as I feel they should've for a one-and-done show, but what moments they did have were done well. It's a bit of a shame, though, because of those moments is why I feel a bit cheated out of better developed characters. They're inherently more interesting (though maybe not quite as charming) than The Force Awakens crew at the moment (save for Kylo Ren). More of the Temple Guard bros, and Cassian + K-2SO would've been great, as both groups are coupled great together and, again, hint at something interesting in the background.
I especially liked Jyn because there's hints of an interesting history I would've liked to have seen such as with her growing up under Saw (and I might be biased to that as I liked him and the arc he was featured in the Clone Wars show), or just her parents and their relationship with Krennic before it all went haywire. I liked that, unlike Rey when we meet her, there isn't some kind of admiration for the resistance against the Empire, it's more or less stripped her and when we meet up with her as an adult she's indifferent to the rebellion. They're different characters, sure, and Rey's story isn't done yet, but I latched onto Jyn in a way that Rey (or even Finn, really) couldn't get me to. I even liked that in the moment she's finally ready to accept her role or, at least, thrust herself in the rebellion's cause she's initially denied. Another slap in the face for her after what seems to be the sick joke of the movie. So yeah, I like Jyn overall at the moment, but I'm sure I'm likely the odd man out on this one. Thought the ending with her and Cassian was a great subversion of what usually happens in these blockbuster films. Jyn hangs onto the man who not too long ago wanted to assassinate her dad, and Cassian hangs on to a woman he only saw as a means to an end with no regard to her whatsoever. I quite liked that.
For the Imperials, I dug how Krennic was handled. Total wannabe and his ending was very fitting, I thought. He has that kinda smarmy personality that you can't hate but sort of enjoy every time he opens his mouth. I don't know where everyone stands on the Tarkin recreation, but I thought it was pretty well done and it was pretty cool to see him again. Yeah, there are some shots that look better than others, and in the first shot he's talking, you can easily tell it's CGI due to how fluid the face looks when talking compared to Krennic he's talking right next to. But I thought it was done well enough to not feel it was disrespectful or unethical, even. The Death Troopers were neat, too bad they didn't get enough screentime to feel as threatening as their statue would inform. Still, their voice effects were that sweet spot of alien and synth. Darth Vader owns it every moment he's there. Perfectly used, great line with Krennic that got a great reaction from the crowd and they played up his action at the end perfectly. Loved the way they started off with the Rebels peering into the blackness with no score and only the heavy breathing--then chaos. Excellent bookend to A New Hope and I don't know what voodoo is going on there at Disney, but I was half in shock, a quarter admiration, and a quarter total glee to see Leia.
So, for a dude who only had four months to compose some music for STAR WARS, Giacchino fucking rocked it. I was skeptical all the way to the theater but the man delivered. I'm currently listening to the score right now, and will have to give it many more runs, but I find it funny it almost feels like he wants to be so hands off with the old themes as much as he can. When an original theme pops in, it pops in for seconds and then hurridly is be rid of, it's almost comical. I don't know of any of his themes match Rey's Theme or even March of the Resistence, but it's still a solid score and I'm really happy that we got Giacchino to do this since we can't have Williams do it all the time for the films. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite scores from him so far, and I should've expected he can take over Willaims after Jurassic World (which I also really liked his score there). So hopefully he'll come back sometime in the future.
Some last thoughts include: Man, AT-ATs (or AT-ACTs) ain't shit. I have to put a million rounds into those things in Battlefront and it was intense seeing them being brought to their knees in Empire. But here? Just a few U-Wing rounds to the legs should do it. lol And yes, I see you blue juice, and after all these years I still don't find it all that appealing. On that note, I know a lot of people don't like fan service, but I for one like being patted on the back for knowing completely useless information. The way they opened without the scroll, I thought, was nailed. Just *boom* the score and you're there. Dunno if the title drop was done as well as it could've though, musically, as it could've been stronger. Anyways, that's it, I'm sure there's nothing here no one else here hasn't. I'm going to bed now.

So somehow the empire kidnapping her father and killer her mother never anchored revenge until the most convenient moment in the film? We were never even told what she was a prisoner for unless I missed it. But the movie even stops and asks, why does she care so suddenly about the cause, and it's never really answered.
There is nothing wrong with the path she is on, but it doesn't do anything for me as a viewer. Yes the empire is evil and they need to be stopped, but why should I be invested when the main character doesn't even give a shit until the final act?
Oh yeah, this is 100% true. I only just got out of the movie a little bit ago, but you're totally right.
I think people who hated it just wanted to hear her go "Death Star, you killed my father! prepare to die!" or something. Probably a five minute exposition speech to remind us how she hates the Death Star.
I've never shot a scene like this, but when we do stuff like this, it's much more dynamic. You can see how stiff he is and how they try to keep him from moving a bunch because they're intentionally limiting what's going on. There's a lot more motion and stuff with Paul Walker/Tarkin. That's why the Downey scene is really bad but makes the technology look good.
It's a bad scene. The Tarkin scenes are way better. Like, sure, I can accept that Tarkin is not 100% photorealistic, but he's existing in a much more dynamic and interesting way than in the clip you've posted.
Well, assuming you weren't, like, going to the restroom and missed this (I seriously had to hold it in near the end but didn't want to miss anything), you remember a scene wherein she talks about becoming a soldier for the Resistance with Saw until she was sixteen years old.
The purpose of this brief exchange illustrates two important facts:
1) She fought for the Resistance.
2) She was ABANDONED by the Resistance.
Any reasonable person can assume that this woman, has been opposed to the resistance since, but has been a rebel without a cause.
Not only this, but another sequence does, in fact, explain what she was in prison for. It includes forgery of imperial documents and some other stuff.
In other words, you are literally wrong about everything, and your problem would have been solved by simply watching the movie.
I was suprised that we got a "A Long Time ago, in a Galaxy far far away..." and the usuall outro.
Would have prefered something more splashy like the Clone Wars opening.
Let's hear you do better.
I agree that the score wasn't the best but I also don't think anyone could have done better in these circumstances. 4 weeks to score a film that's still being retooled is insane. Like I said earlier in the third act the score manages to hit all the right notes and it's probably not a coincidence that that's the act that feels the most complete/satisfying.
I enjoyed reading your impressions.
Just wanted to highlight this as it made me smile; as a kid, I used to dye my milk blue and thought it tasted like the best thing ever.
I enjoyed it more than episode 7. I even enjoyed it more than episode 6. It's now my third favorite in the series. It finally shows the brutality of the actual war part of star wars while also dipping it a bit into the mystical side. Characters were cool and memorable in their own way. The only thing Rey and the others have as an advantage is that they have a bigger story to tell.
There are some negatives, but I'll think it about it more.

I wasn't a fan of the title card they used. It looked pretty half assed. They should have just used the logo.
That title card and the crappy Star Wars main theme parody that played during it was the worst moment of the film. Thankfully it got much better from there.
100% agree
If GAF's Hive Mind is going to go easy on the score of Rogue One because of time constraints, then it better go easy on The Hobbit trilogy too.
(Personally, I didn't think it was bad, but I remember thinking, during the film, it wasn't memorable, and for a lot of the time, it failed to capture that Star Wars feel. Prequel Trilogy stays winning in this department. The score of those films is just phenomenal)

Loved it. I think it's a good little expansion.
I had no issues with the story or characters. My only issues were with certain fan service and the tying the whole film into Episode IV to the extent of bringing Leia into the movie. I had no problem with Tarkin as he wasn't that big in A New Hope and I thought they animated him very well, but Leia is an issue since everyone knows that is absolutely not a real person, with CGI caught in the uncanny valley. The introduction of her with her hood up and stuff, back turned to us- I just didn't like it. This is probably just me still pining for a Star Wars film that is its own thing with its own story and not so knitted up to the other movies.
Loved it though. It was exciting and visually satisfying, and I love Felicity Jones. She's so hot and English. Even the funny parts were great. Alan Tudyk nailed the droid part with a solid, not-fucking-stupid schtick. Will be seeing again for sure.

Is Mads Wasted in this?
(Again?)
...I'm the composer now?
If he had four years would it change anything? Many film compsoers work on short deadlines. Doesn't change my critisim on the film's score or usage of callbacks.
Problem for me was, that there is now a established way how these scenes work. You see a Star Destroyer drifting out of the shadows while Tie-Fighter are flying nearby and you expect the Imperial March or a variation of it. Or the Nana-nananana-na when the good guys accomplish something. But it never happened, so each it I did a little "ouch", because it felt super wrong.
TFA and the Prequels got away with this because they had a different asthetic and established other things, but this is a OT-era movie so I expected OT-era music.

Has anything been written about the legal situation with bringing back Peter Cushing like that?
Did they have to pay his estate? Who owns an actor's image rights after death? I'd imagine there's some kind of long-term deal for rights to an actor's image in Star Wars (for use of the likeness in merchandise, etc) but are specifics known?
Most other face replacement like young Tony Stark, Paul Walker in Furious 7, Oliver Reed in Gladiator, etc is in a situation where either the actor is still alive to consent or has been paid for the right to use his likeness and performance in the film.
