Everyone gushing over Rogue One... but it was at best barely competent.
10-20 minutes of static talking heads, 5 minutes of mediocre action. Repeat until the end. Meaningless side-quests. The final is a thousand cliches one after another culminating in a "main computer at the end of a rickety walkway" and "a kiss at the sunset".
The only reason it's hailed as the greatest movie ever is because so much of the Star Wars is just objectively shit.
- hackyhacky 1y ago> a kiss at the sunset They don't kiss. And that's not a sunset.
- troupo 1y agoYou know exactly what I mean. It couldn't have been more predictable, cheezy and cliched if it was and actual kiss at the sunset
- hackyhacky 1y agoI know what you mean and I completely disagree. It's a subversion a standard trope. Moreover, the fraternal relationship between the two leads is a reference to Andor's arc in Andor. It's an ending about sacrifice that wouldn't make sense in any other context.
- troupo 1y ago> It's a subversion a standard trope. There's nothing subversive. > It's an ending about sacrifice that wouldn't make sense in any other context. There are a million ways to make an ending about sacrifice. Rogue One chose the worst one, after a lot of other ridiculous choices
