B+ for me

Posted by: CG63 on Dec 18, 16:48 in response to goodvibe61's post Rogue One: How is it? Probably won't get to see it until...

PLUSES: Great action sequences, a very dynamic and gritty take on the galaxy far far away, humor from the K2 droid, wonderful performance by Donnie Yen, Vader being kick-ass, strong ending

MINUSES: Characterizations paper-thin even by SW standards, overuse of not-quite-Tarkin (which is good CGI but still obviously not real), strangely dropped plot threads (particularly regarding Saw Gerrera)

Rogue One: How is it? Probably won't get to see it until after Christmas. What did everybody think? {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 18, 10:13

Haven't seen it yet, but a good friend said he liked better than all the others. {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Dec 18, 10:21

more fun than Force Awakens, but still not Original Trilogy great {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 18, 10:32

It's awesome! {nm} slappydavid Dec 18, 10:40

it had some moments but ultimately, i felt let down {nm} islander Dec 18, 10:49

i thought it was a masterpiece! it was far and away better then i was hoping...BRAVO gareth edwards! i forgive you for godzilla now {nm} horrorfanatic Dec 18, 11:00

masterpiece ??? Ok. But for me Godzilla ( Edwards' Godzilla ) was great fun {nm} JMT-NL Dec 18, 11:20

You mean Tony Gilroy. many shots in the trailers were not in the final film. {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 11:33

??? Who directed Godzilla ? And this starwars-spinoff ??? And Why is gareth Edwards not credited on the stockpage ? {nm} JMT-NL Dec 18, 11:50

Crazier still: Why doesnt gareth Edwards have a stock ? {nm} JMT-NL Dec 18, 11:54

Becasue Tony\ Gilroy finished SW16 and Edwards was replaced on GODZ2. {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 12:14

not talking about Godzilla 2. Godzilla... a film released in 2014. Director; Gareth Edwards {nm} JMT-NL Dec 18, 15:09

Posted many times on the boards. Tony Gilroy did the extensive rewrite, reshoot and reedit of SW16. {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 12:13

really liked it!...where was this Gareth Edwards during Godzilla? =P {nm} tealfan Dec 18, 11:24

More importantly, where was Godzilla during Godzilla? {nm} diamondman56 Dec 18, 11:32

Ha! Very true. {nm} CSBD Dec 18, 12:03

He didn't have Tony Gilroy on Godzilla. ;) {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 11:34

Who is Tony gilroy ? {nm} JMT-NL Dec 18, 11:55

the person who cleaned up Gareth Edward's mess <font color="green">RHawk</font> Dec 18, 12:15

I'm remembering another article that said reshoots were 6 days a week for 8 weeks, was that one not true? {nm} MattW Dec 18, 13:30

Was surprised how much I liked it. I'm by no means a Star Wars nerd but I liked the new character and the story. Really grew on me. {nm} diamondman56 Dec 18, 11:32

B+, it's not as "fun" as 7 but it's a great story with strong characters. I'd pay to see it again. {nm} doitdoitdoitnow Dec 18, 12:03

I liked it. I thought it fit well with the universe but it's a very dark film. leo21 Dec 18, 12:35

As a hardcore fan of the saga, I really love the film, especially the third act. 9.5/10 {nm} Filmstardust Dec 18, 13:17

Last 40 min was awesome. Middle part was a bit slow. {nm} jamfan14 Dec 18, 14:22

Last 40 or so mins are good, but the setp up and characterisation is poor. {nm} numbersix_99 Dec 18, 13:35

minor nitpick for me was that I wish that they had shown (spoiler) a little in his clean-cut Imperial threads before he defected...ala Finn tealfan Dec 18, 14:10

A pleasant surprise indeed. {nm} tatoufan Dec 18, 15:03

Was alright (possible spoiler) Phillips Dec 18, 16:10

B+ for me CG63 Dec 18, 16:48

Haven't seen it yet, but my internet friends varied widely, from 'its awesome'/'was a masterpiece' to 'was alright'/'felt let down' {nm} ßionicℳoron® Dec 18, 16:50

:) {nm} islander Dec 18, 18:04

B+, I loved it. It isn't perfect from a dramaturgical perspective, but I felt lots of things and enjoyed it a great deal. {nm} emoticripple Dec 19, 08:28
