I want to watch it for one reason: Donnie Yen.

He was very good in this. A bit predictable in hindsight but they managed it pretty well. I went in not expecting much so I liked it, I'd be interested to hear what you think of his performance since you seem to have seen his work prior.

I am a Donnie Yen fan, even before the Ip Man movies on Netflix. Which, by the way, all 3 of his Ip Man movies are on Netflix, in Chinese with subs mostly. I actually started following him on the martial arts competition circuit. The dude is fully legit, mixed street fighter-esque with real-world fighting experience. Awesome to watch his bouts. Even as he is getting older I bet he would absolutely kill in MMA.

Just saw Rogue One.


Wow. Where do I start. Let's start with: this could turn out to be one of my most favourite Star Wars films.


No it doesn't have any Jedi, nor the customary Jedi fight scene. But it had a lot of 'heart'. The story is more focussed. It doesn't flap about. There is a true beginning, a middle, and an end. All well contained in this 1 film unlike the other Star Wars films.


What I love most about this are the characters. I love all the ethnicities and what each bring to the 'Rogue One' team, all so colourful, all so memorable. All working harmoniously together as 1 with this unspoken 'bond'. My most favourite characters in this hands down has to be K-2. Oh man, he had the wit of C3PO, the technical knowhow of R2D2, but with the dry humor of [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION]? Haha.. I just couldn't stop laughing, easily one of the funniest Star Wars film as well for me.


The ending is certainly bittersweet (you'll see why), which means this one will stay with me for a while.


No, it's not 100% your typical Star Wars movie, but it didn't have to be, it had a heart that beats to its own tune, and what a wonderful tune it was.


9/10

I haven't seen the Ip Man films, admittedly that's not really my genre (haven't seen Ong Bak neither), but I did enjoy Donnie in this one, he has kinda unique character.
 
Just watched nocturnal animals. Loved it except for the end, which I hated.

Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors of all time.

I really want to see this. I'm gonna have to take a day in March or so and On Demand that and some other stuff.
 
Has anybody here watched Spike's new flick? Chi-Raq I think it's called. Some friends are getting together to watch it this weekend, wondering if I want to make the effort to watch with (will have to switch shifts).
 
Finally watched Rogue One. I thought it was great but I am guessing most non hardcore fans feel meh about it. This the most Star Wars easter eggs ever. Tied in some Clone Wars and Rebels and gave some interest to where Rebels will go.
