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.

Sight & Sound

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

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Lags of tedious preparation towards mounting conflict aside, there is more than enough big-screen excitement infusing the gravitas that gives way to pathos.

Rated: 4/5

While I evidently find the film’s issues harder to overlook than the majority of audiences, there’s no denying the entertainment value or technical prowess on display.

“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.
