Just watched rouge one and it was.....average. It was a good action film though but action was the only thing it had going for it. It also covered the plot hole about the death star somehow blowing up after shooting a tiny hole that in it. The main thing bringing this movie down is the characters. Holy crap this is one of the most forgettable bunch of characters I have seen in a movie all year. When the character with the most personality is the robot something is wrong. Hardly any character in this movie has any character motivation, or gives us a reason to care about them when shit hits the fan. I dont even know the characters names or even the main characters name. And her backstory is supposed to be the "emotional" part of the movie but falls short because she has no distinct personality or that much character motivation or drive to make me get behind her and is just a slave for whatever the scriptwriter/story wants her and the rest of the "characters" to do instead of the other way around. The movie obviously wants you to care about them but they never give us a reason to do so. I suggest you only watch this movie if you just want to see good action and this movie delivers on that. Also covering up the old plot hole that got made fun of for the longest time. But if you came into here thinking you will be even slightly emotionally invested in characters and story you will be disappointed especially coming of such strong characters in the force awakens like Kylo Ren, Finn, and Rey.
