    I'd just Netflix it, but thank you for the review.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      So I started watching Rogue One early last weekend but fell asleep about 30 in. Tell me it gets better because I was bored out of my freakin' mind.

        Any randomly selected 30 minute stretch of the movie stands as a representative sample of the entire movie. I liked it, but after Episode 1 I'm so battered I'd give The Departed a thumbs up.

        You also shouldn't be up at 2 am on a work day. Or 1 or whatever it is in those fake non-EST timezones.

          It does...but not enough for me to really like the film. It becomes apparent about 15-20 minutes later what the changes they made were and where the script got Frankensteined together. The plot makes zero sense but some of the fighting is real cool.

            It's a slower boil than most SW movies (but still better written and acted than E1 or E2 *gag*). I enjoyed it, but I don't know as that it will hold up to repeat viewing.

              That's exactly what I thought. It's horribly fragmented and the plot line looks like Muhammad Ali drew it.

              Probably poorly. The characters are all AWFUL. And if I see Forrest Whitaker in one more movie before I die. It will be too much. I know a lot of people like him, but I really can't stand him. It's been a slow decline of my opinion of him.

                Jules And Delores:

                Brazilian comedy based on the theft of the Jules Rimet soccer trophy (World Cup) in 1983. It's quirky, and it's very loosely based (basically, the theft and theoried result of what happened to the trophy in real life are the only "facts"). It's a toss-up whether to watch this one or not. I liked it, but it's nothing special at all.
                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  Ok. I'm glad I finished it. Totally pivoted like you said handy.

                  The last 45 or so were actually pretty good. The way they killed everyone off didn't upset me at all like it did with the departed. Spoiler alert. I thought the deaths of a lot of the characters were well done. Some not so much.. But for the most part, it felt authentic by the end.

                    I liked it, and agree on the deaths. That being said, it IS a "bonus" movie of sorts as related to the main movies, so I didn't have that many expectations going into it. Same with all the other "bonus" movies that they are doing. FTR, I'm not into all the books/cartoons/etc like some on here, so I'd expect their opinions to maybe be a little more harsh and/or detailed.

                      Most of the old books were, more or less, wiped from history by Disney. People need to let go of those old books, and realize that the movies and the few books they've since released are the story now.

                      The movie actually reminded me of a book they released to accompany one of the games. I've not played the game, but the book was a fun, non-Jedi look at that universe regarding the grit and sacrifice of the unsung heroes of the rebellion.

It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                        Gotcha. Never got into those side-projects, even if they were regarded as canon. As a result, I cannot speak on those stories, background, etc. In that regard, I'd say I am generally average goombah mainstream fan of the SW movies.

                          The movie came out last year you dont need to put spoilers. Plus it is a prequel to Episode 4 so everyone knows the characters are dead

                          The movie could have been great if they had put any real time into making the story make sense. Half of them were pretty pointless and a lot of the motivations were just bizarre. There were leaps in logic and just too many "***" like moments even for a Star Wars flick.

                            I don't care if it came out last year. I still try to hide the endings of movies just in case.

                            The first forty minutes were pointless.

                              People dont need to let them go, they just need to realize they arent in canon...and in reality never were. (the only true canon is the movies no matter what LucasFilm said about TV shows and games and books) Pick and choose what you like and make your own canon.

                              I will say most of the books were better written than Rogue One was. The characters were fleshed out and they had a purpose and reason for what they are doing. Rogie One tried to Disney-fi the War of the Rebellion and it just didnt work. The original plan for the film was much better.

                                What was the original plan?
