Saw Rogue One, and it was alright. Had some good points, some flaws. I think it got better after the first half. The pacing in the beginning felt off, and I think character development suffered. Dramatic and tense moments didn't have a big effect, because there wasn't enough build up to them, or enough investment in the characters. It really felt quite rushed.
The other odd thing was.. cinematography? Or camera shot/editing choices. Shots were super quick, cutting between lots of things, none of which had clear (to me) focus. Made action scenes hard to watch and non action scenes... confusing, maybe.
I like that we're seeing more actual war in Star.... Wars. Like real, people in danger kind of war, not just flashy explosions with lots of smiles. Not to say that there wasn't that, but it is a least a shift towards a darker narrative.
