Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Pre-order

[Spiderwalk]

I watched Rogue One yesterday, and to be perfectly honest I was bored for most of it's duration. The characters and plot were mediocre at best, and despite it looking very pretty, I didn't find it engaging on any level. It did pick up a bit in the last act, and the space battle was quite spectacular, but like so many films that have come before spectacle doesn't always equate to a good movie.

The other thing that really bothered me was the

[Show spoiler]CGI Tarkin and Leia. Tarkin was almost passable, but his voice wasn't remotely like Peter Cushing's, and Leia was totally ridiculous - what the hell were they thinking!.

Despite it's flaws, The Force Awakens is a much better film IMO.
