This is where it all starts. Unless you want to count the three films about Anakin that is...
Okay, so I actually saw this on Dec 15th at 2355 Malaysia time which means that I saw it a day before it actually opened in the US, but I've been busy lately and didn't have the time to sit and put my opinions down about it till now. Anyway, by now most of you have either seen it or read every possible review about it so this will be brief.
What I liked
- I liked the story. Pretty much answers all the question we've had about how the first Death Star came to be and why that silly vent was made.
- Liked the cast. Wasn't too impressed with Felicity Jones (Jyn Erso) when I saw her in Inferno (2016) but I do like what she does with her character here. Kept thinking that Diego Luna (Cassian Andor) was Oscar Isaacs though.
- Loved all the easter eggs and cameos. Even liked the CGI characters even if Grand Moff Tarkin looked a little too plastic.
- Loved the visual effects.
What I didn't quite like
- The pacing was a little too slow at times. You go through dramatic scenes and then it seems to slow down at times. Ditto with the battle scene.
- Battle scene too felt a little too long.
Regardless of my nitpicking overall I liked it. It's one of the better "new" Star Wars story. The Force Awaken was good but it was basically episode IV with a bunch of different characters and different planets. This one feels new but one that fits very nicely I think before episode IV. I'm giving this one a solid 4 out of 5.
Check out the final trailer (if you actually haven't seen it that is)
