Rogue One - A Star Wars spoiler thread

In one sense it was but can't help feeling it was a cynical ploy to get the Asian particularly Chinese consumer. I'm not sure that's much better than the all white Star Wars. Disney have form for this.
Wasn't until after the film we realised the diversity thing. Didn't feel cynical to us... just natural
Lucas ripped off/paid homage to Japanese samurai films feeding a lot of the style and action. I'd have thought the 'asians' not that I noticed them when I watched it are probably a nod to the roots of Lucas work
Aye, perhaps though getting people in of a particular ethnicity as a tribute seems dodgy to me as does the whole we've got a character with some odd spirituality and a certain type of hand to hand fighting style lets cast an asian.
I never really thought about it watching the film but some reviews and the magazine preview (sci-fi now I think) made a lot of it. Oh and there were some tusses on twitter predictably moaning about.Wasn't until after the film we realised the diversity thing. Didn't feel cynical to us... just natural

I went to see it last night and slept through the whole thing.I woke up just in time to spoil the ending.
I'm really good at kipping through loud, in-yer-face films. Mad Max was the last one.
Right! I'm going to watch it again this afternoon and WILL NOT SLEEP RIGHT THROUGH IT THIS TIME !
Anyone got any speed?

Liked for use of word ''tusses.''

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Or someone thought 'why not get an actual martial arts actor to play this martial arts part which is, at least in part, homage to the whole blind swordsman mythology'

Trying not to read this thread, but I got a Vue gift card for Xmas and I want to go see it. Is it best in 3D or 2D?

I saw it in 2d and thought it looked great. But then i can't stand 3d, too dark, and I hate trying to fit the glasses over my own specs. There didn't seem to be many obviously 3d moments in it that I noriced.

ta, I didn't see the point of it much in the The Force Awakens either. think i'll stick with 2d then

I saw it in 2D Orang Utan but during the epic battle I did think I should've gone for 3D. I doubt it makes a lot of difference for the rest of the film. Main thing is to go to the pictures and see it on a big screen - this one just won't be as good watching it on telly.

Yes the 4 in 4D is the financial dimension. What did you expect?

It was... Rebekah Vardy's account
I must confess I hadn't twigged on to Peter Cushing
The Leia one was a good idea but maybe better if done in a more subtle way - her image less clear.
Could have shown her in silhouette, would have been fine / probably better.

The Vader fight scene was fucking ace as well
That wasn't a fight. A fight needs two sides.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
That was my exact first thought too

I dunno if it was the writing or the acting but Felicity Jones was profoundly irritating in this.
Forest Whitaker's death just made me think, thank fuck we won't have to hear that stupid accent any more.

These fellas sum it up far better than me (although the forced wackiness is irritating) -
The crap about fixing Plinkett's VCR or whatever just reminds everyone how much better those reviews were. I know he's sitting there but still.

Very dull film. Most entertaining aspects were Emma Grundy from the Archers shooting stormtroopers, and the defecting pilot who was clearly from Staines*.
*Wembley actually but a near enough guess.

So, overall, people seem to be disappointed with this film and found it boring?
Hmmm, still dithering whether to use my Vue gift token to watch this or not
I loved Force Awakens...

Personally I'd say it's worth a watch but readjust any expectations, it's perfectly serviceable but nothing special.
