Re: Rogue One movie SPOILER FREE (for now) discussion thread
SPOILER FREE
Just got back from the Thursday 7:20pm screening in Ultra AVX.
Initial reaction: Best. Star Wars. Movie. Ever.
Way, way happier with this one than I was with Episode 7.
Most of the cameos and references are very well placed, they didn't seem ham-fisted at all, unlike how I felt about many of them in TFA.
Highs: K-2SO, space battles, ground battles, cameos
Lows: it's a pretty heavy film, I'm not sure how my kids will react if I take them
Basically, this is the Star Wars film I have wanted to see since I first became a full-on fan in the early 90s. It feels so steeped in the OT, and really reminds me of the older video games. Rebels vs. Empire all the way.
I loved it. Will definitely see again, probably 2 more times in theatre at least.
Expectations met and exceeded.
