Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Post-release)

SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER

I was not so happy with the movie...

The Vaderscenes are awesome...I really love the last scene where Vader kills the Rebellsoldiers!
Wow...that is the real Vader that we see here the first time.
I also love the actionscenes..great effects and brutal action.
But the movie is lot too long...too much slipslop..lots of boring scenes in the first half of the movie...no real SW-Score...for me it was not really a SW-Moviefeeling overall.
It has not enough speed for a SW-movie
No jedi...the cool asian guy with his stick had a poor dead...they had weapons that can kill a stardestroyer in seconds(that they never had later in Episode 4-6)...killed a AT-AT so fast with handguns from a starship....lots of stupid mistakes that makes the real fan crazy.

Are you drinking heavily?
 
I want to see what they originally planned for the movie... Sure looks like Cassian, Jyn and K2 might've made it out alive in the first cut!

They didn't need to kill ALL of the heros. That part makes it more not for kids than the violence does. The little girl in front of me last night was crying after the movie and said QUOTE: "I kept thinking luke Skywalker would show up and save them"...

I think they should've marketed it as being for adults a bit more than they did.

I loved the ride of the movie. I did! I always wanted a hard core empire kicking ass movie...

I do think it's a shame though that kids probably shouldn't see this. I don't know... I'm going to see it again...

Biggest complaints...

1. No John Williams!

2. The OT TKs and Vaders costume looked like party city rubies costumes. Not Star Wars movie props. (Seriously, how can anyone on this forum disagree???)

3. Jyn and Cassian should've made it off the planet. Just because we never see them again... That didn't need to be shown. Again... Kids watching... A Star Wars movie... Ehhh... I don't know.

Yeah, heroes needed to survive this. Did they think it was das Boot?

People still have a survival instinct. Just because their job is done doesn't mean that they need to embrace death

I really liked how they finally folded Vader's Bast/Had Abbadon/Mustafar lava castle into canon.

Were we supposed to believe they could somehow outrun or hunker down through that shockwave? Would it have been more fulfilling to see them disintegrated in a terrified and futile attempt to escape?

Also, (I don't know if this has been mentioned yet) but the end of this film is pretty inconsistent with ANH.

In the original she is caught by Vader under the guise that she is on a diplomatic mission to alderaan.

Isn't that like getting pulled over by the cops, taking off as soon as he gets to your car and playing dumb when you get caught again in two blocks?

The interesting thing to me about many of these cut scenes, they are big FX scenes! Not cheap!
They were making major changes late in the game it seems.

Do you even use your imagination bro? Do you interpet everything rigidly?
Do you get out much?

A Rebellion is built on hope!

Seems a single reactor shot can be "close enough"

I really liked the blast effect. Like an asteroid impacting a planet level 4 extinction event

The blast was awesome. It just looked about 30 miles off target

That maybe for you but there are quite a few out there that there were only ANH, Empire, and ROTJ.

As far as that sad ripoff TFA? :lol :lol :lol

. Even the prequels, we may not like them, or their ugly parts, but they're family, and eventually you grow used to them. TFA actually improved for me after several viewings,

Gotta say I really liked it.

I can't believe people are nitpicking Tarkin. (Speaking of Tarkin, someone needs to do the words for Tarkin care of business :) )
Quite simply - as the commercial I saw aptly said, it was an amazing achievement. Times were just eerily real - and had it not been a guy we know died over 20 years ago, wouldn't have been able to tell. Period.

Vader at the end....that's what we wanted in the damn prequels man. That was some bad-assery there. As for it not matching up with ANH - if you want an in universe explanation - it's pretty damn easy. These guys had no clue what they were in for and it was a hot knife through butter. to the the 10th power. Obi-wan was his former master and someone he knew if he #$!#ed up, he was toast. You don't go in wild like you can against a bunch a soldier who never faced a jedi or sith or probably never even saw one. He toyed w/luke in ESB and was pretty active in ROTJ.

Still want a stand a lone vader - hunt the jedi flick, but oh well. Maybe a video game??

Back on track - Seriously? I'm Blind was the best line. K2's - was good comicrelief. I saw all the explosions...so much for blending in :)

I wanted more grit though. It'd be nice if all the deaths weren't telegraphed. It's supposedly war. You don't always die when you expect it. But frankly, that's minor. Also, another minor thing. If you have time to get all the way down the tower and then all the way out to the beach, why not run through the hangars and see if you can find a ship to get out of dodge in? If i'm going down - i'm going down fighting, not watching the ocean melt in front of me.

I'm thinking originally most got out alive and they didn't want to do a sequel to compete with the saga. They're trying to establish stand alones. Easiest way to quash sequel requests is to kill everyone off. It'll never happen, but i'd love to see the original take. Maybe we'll get the original script someday. It won't be canon but it should be interesting.

"Someone get me a blockade runner, i have an idea" :)
