There are Suicide Squad-level moments of confusion, weak characters and regressive storytelling that left me downright angry.

More proof that diverse casts can actually lead to big box office numbers.

Apart from Ben Mendelsohn's weaselly Orson Krennic [and perhaps Donnie Yen]... the faces are unmemorable and the characters unexceptional, their meaningful glances unearned.

7/10

No matter how interesting a back story can be developed, or how entertaining a set of characters are created to steal the plans, Rogue One never quite overcomes its own redundancy.

4/5

Lags of tedious preparation towards mounting conflict aside, there is more than enough big-screen excitement infusing the gravitas that gives way to pathos.

3/5

While I evidently find the film’s issues harder to overlook than the majority of audiences, there’s no denying the entertainment value or technical prowess on display.
