The 2016 Fall Movie Preview

4. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One

Release Date: December 16th

Cast: Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, Alan Tudyk

Director: Gareth Edwards (Godzilla)

It’s only this high because it holds the name Star Wars.  I’ve made no secret about my deep concerns and near indifference towards this film.  The two trailers look fine, but getting on board with this idea has not been easy.  The action looks crisp.  I like the tone.  My problem is while the cast is stacked, the acting feels very stilted.  With a story that is going to be weak as hell (we know they get the Death Star plans), it has to rely heavily on character.  I’m just not seeing it.  And to address the elephant in the room, I’m still queasy about Darth Vader popping up.  This is like a sad entertainer who’s glory days are behind him showing up for a dinky local state fair.  I better be wowed.

  1. Wow! You sound like someone who’s so educated on Fantastic Beasts!

    If you were a Harry Potter fan you at least do your fucking research and find out that the beasts are not the focus of the film! I know you’d hoping for an underwhelming box office, but it’s fandangos most anticipated fall film! Stop trying to force your douchey negativity on all of us.

    This films is about life in Wizarding America, no about beasts. You don’t care about it because you’re a lazy ignorant asshole who takes everything at face value. You seriously think JK Rowling would give us a story just about creatures? It’s a trilogy, you fuckin’ idiot. And it’s had massively amazing test screening reviews. Please stop writing.
