There are Suicide Squad-level moments of confusion, weak characters and regressive storytelling that left me downright angry.

More proof that diverse casts can actually lead to big box office numbers.

Apart from Ben Mendelsohn's weaselly Orson Krennic [and perhaps Donnie Yen]... the faces are unmemorable and the characters unexceptional, their meaningful glances unearned.

InSession Film

Director Gareth Edwards has created one of the best modern Star Wars films in recent years, and even though it fits into the events of the mainline movies, it tells a bleak tale of sacrifice, freedom, and hope.

Keith & the Movies

“Rogue One” looks amazing, the effects are stunning, the action is energetic, the nostalgia is delightful, there’s the right amount of humor, and it tells a good story.

Rated: 4.5/5

Deep Focus Review

Diverting and well-made though the picture may be, Rogue One ultimately serves no real purpose beyond fleshing-out established material.

Rated: 2.5/4

this is how you modernize Star Wars, not with bloody lens flares and shaky cams and action in every 10 mins. anyways taking .5 of because everyone is killed but I know why they did it but still. I loved them.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
