Its all in the perspective

It is an enjoyable movie if you just want a movie leave your brain at the door and don't think

If your a true Star Wars geek this will set off your nerd meter then some (the movie alludes a great deal to the star wars animation "Star Wars Rebels") This is me

For some this movie will be a disappointment

I personally loved it and the nerd in me was out in full force

I'll have to press my brother further on it I guess. He's a real Star Wars geek and saw the first midnight showing. I asked him about it already and all he would tell me was that " a lot of people died to get some plans". Haha, very funny

The End.
I remember VERY clearly my friend Derek's dad saying that he was going to take him to see Star Wars. I was 9 at the time and asked his dad if I could go to. The commercials were impossible to resist coming along the Battle Star Galactica era. Derek's father said I could go to the disappointment of my friend Derek Derek complained that I had begged to go. Yes, I did I was f^#&$#$&)G 9 years old.

Star Wars was amazing. When then waited for 3 years for the empire to come out. You NEVER EVER see a sequel better then the first movie.The Empire was better then Star Wars hands down. Then came Return of the Jedi and one disappointment after another.

This new one ranks right up there with the worst. Again no lie they run , explosions, more running and more explosions for more then TWO and a half HOURS. You would think in a movie that is almost 3 yours long a story or something would evolve. But not running, explosions , running, running, explosions, explosions. It makes you dizzy trying to figure out what they are running from.

The End.

It was alright, but that final Vader scene got me pumped up

I would say it was almost better than ep 7. In a lot of ways it was. The characters were not as good but the story itself was better, perhaps because they barely had to write it. That being said the visuals, nods to rebels ect were much better done in Rouge One then EP 7. I consider myself a big fan, but not a crazy big fan but one thing that really bothers me about 7 is the fact the resistance does not use any capital ships and only attacks with x-wings. The battle scenes in Rouge one are far superior with mostly familiar ships or various classes in use.

The ending was great too but once you see Tarkin it's really not that much of a surprise but until then you don't realize how close in time this is to a new hope. One thing I wish the movie had was Thrawn though.

Very much. The Ghost and Chopper were in Rogue One, did you catch them?

So, I'm not a "Star Wars fan" by any stretch. I enjoy the movies - particularly the older ones. I went and saw this one in 3D with my niece and nephew (10 and 12). They loved it. I had no idea what was going on until about halfway through. I had no idea it was an "in the middle" movie, so I was quite surprised when Darth Vader showed up. I was all like, "Didn't he die?". So yeah, I didn't get it. The production was good though!
