First Reactions After the Rogue One World Premiere!

rogue-one

The world premiere of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is now history, and it’s time for some spoiler free reactions shared on the World Wide Web! I’ve read probably a hundred comments already and I am yet to find a negative rant about the movie. Exciting times indeed…

 

To sum things up, it seems everyone loved the movie, especially the 3rd act. Donnie Yen and Alan Tudyk steal the show. Also many of the shots from the trailers are not in the movie, but the general vibe is the same. There are at least three surprising moments in the movie that no one expected, so you should be careful when reading reviews, not to be spoiled.

 

Here are some of the more interesting reactions:

    I saw Rogue One on IMDB, and 12% of people gave it 1/10. Who those people are?? Of course, those same people who are boycotting STAR WARS movies, because ”Disney wants only money” Because not everyone is white in the movie, seriously, I can’t believe that’s reality we live in today, that those kind of people still exist, people who will search for excuses for not watching the movie, I was even reading comments,and this is what they are talking about:

    1. Nobody is even talking about the movie.
    2. Racists already hate it because it has all races in the movies, as it should. Racists will see it as propaganda, but normal people will see it as diversity, as it should be. Why the fuck only white males think they are more important than black or Asian people, also more important than females.
    3. People complained about prequels it is too much CGI, and now when they do 97% practical effects, they just ignore it and make up other reasons to hate the movie
    4. There are type of people who are thinking only about money and they are like: Disney wants only the money, and they don’t have my 5$.
    Well, screw You, they are making already billions without Your fucking 5$ and they deserve all the money on this world, cause if they make good movie, they have my money.
    Stop fucking whining and enjoy life and STAR WARS. Judge it as a movie after You see it, not just give it 1/10 on IMDB for Your stupid reasons

            Because they have an opinion in opposition of the person who was elected President of the United States? Because they used what notoriety and celebrity they had to voice an opinion?

            Why don’t they get to speak against a man they didn’t want to see elected? It’s their right to.

            So you may as well count all of Hollywood as one giant political hack. The people who make your movies and television shows are routinely more liberal than conservative.

            Star Wars was always filled with real life politics.
            Ep III was basically Lucas’s criticism of the Bush administration.
            Besides, we can safely assume that at least 90% of Hollywood shares the same political idea of Chris Weltz. Some are just louder about it.

            having one stupid line in sith isn’t the same as trying to use the brand in a real life political movement. nor is ok(or smart) to alienate half your domestic fanbase. but anyway, this like everything else will blow over.

            How it is not the same?
            Besides, it its not alienating anyone, just an overly sensitive and very lound group of alt-right internet people, who also boycotted ep VII, which apparently resulted in an estimated 4m $ of revenue loss (so it grossed 936m, instead of 940m). The result of these “boycotts” will be similar this time aswell.

            What do you mean? The alt-right “movement” originated from internet forums, such as 4chan and other crapholes.
            What they do is usually bragging about female leads and/or minorities in movies all day. Just visit the IMDB message boards for experience.

            “Alt” means unorthodox as far as I interpret it. So they arent conservatives or far -rights.

            It came from the fact that they are actively boycotting Rogue One. Or attempting to. They also actively attempted to boycott Episode VII.

            Yes, the Idiocy of the Left is extreme. They should be be more responsible like the Alt-Right, and pursue boycotts of breakfast cereal and science fiction movies.

        Nope. It’s a bunch of whiny leftists who would complain about it. SW is about good vs evil. It contains some politics, but it’s in the background. I’m much older than you. I remember the Soviets complaining about ROTJ because they thought Lucas modeled the Empire after their regime. I always viewed the rebel alliance as a group of conservatives, classic liberals and others fighting back against the tyranny of an Empire that had elements of Stalin and Hitler.

            Show me the proof? I’m the ‘base’ of the party and
            I always viewed the Empire as a combo between Stalinist Russia and Hitler’s Germany. Lucas based it on the Roman Empire. The so-called ‘alt-right’ is not the base of anything.

            No, you’re not the base. Not if your a traditional conservative.

            How many times do I have to tell you I don’t care about the folks you seem to fixate on. Did they make a difference in TFA’s BO? No, they didn’t. They won’t make a difference in R1’s BO either. I disagree with your defintion of what ‘base’ means. But you go ahead and believe what you want.

            Do you not get it? You commented in a thread about a factual news story. You decried then attacked people who WEREN’T even involved in said news story. It doesn’t matter if you care about them or not. They were the point of the topic.

            The alt-right folks mounting the boycott effort are not the base of the repub party. They’re a very noisy group that seeks attention. The base or core of the repub party for decades have been traditional conservatives. I assure you that they will be out in droves to watch ROGUE ONE. in fact, I’m going to buy my tickets tonight for a Thursday showing. See you at the theater.

            The base of any structure is at its bottom.

            You build from the base, up.

            The bottom of any political party has those who are furthest from being centrist.

            It’s not a difficult concept. It also doesn’t make you any less valuable or important to the political party you affiliate with.

            Never said their boycott would be effective, either. Just that it exists.

          The Left isn’t complaining about Rogue One. The Alt Right is. Why don’t you do a quick google search before you continue to embarass yourself.

            LOL….pot meet kettle. As I’ve stated in other posts, I don’t know any ‘alt-right’ people. However, I’ve read about and observed many SJWs who continue to whine and bitch about the election results. That’s far more nauseating than a handful of people wanting to boycott a SW film. I didn’t vote for Trump. I didn’t vote for Clinton. I didn’t vote for any of them. I only voted the down ticket. But, the election is over. Whiny Leftists should get over it.

            Plus, I’m a traditional conservative. Practically all my family members, extended family members, and my friends are all conservatives. Whether they are die-hard SW fans or casual fans, they all liked TFA and look forward to R1. No problems with diversity or a female lead. SW is loved across the political spectrum. Liberal…conservative…doesn’t matter.

            ‘knee jerked’…..’hateful reaction’….your
            reaction is typical for a Leftie. You didn’t disappoint. It was what I expected.
            You still don’t understand. So, I will repeat myself. I don’t know anyone who is
            ‘alt-right….’alt-left’….alt-anything. The ‘alt’ moniker has no meaning to
            me. A person either leans to the right or leans to the left…period. Plus, I
            personally don’t know any conservatives who boycotted TFA, R1 or any other SW
            film. If someone did, then they’re no friend of mind no matter what they call
            themselves. All the ones I know liked or loved TFA. It’s not a controversy to me.
            You focus on the fringe element to paint a broad brush over everyone. Lately,
            most of the ‘hate’ comes from liberals who decry hatred from others. It’s
            hypocrisy^2.

            Exactly. Back to attacking a leftie. You don’t even know that I’m a leftie. I didn’t state that I was, nor did I share political view points.

            Only that you started attacking the left when someone pointed out a factual news story where a part of your political spectrum in the “Alt-Right” has started a boycott against Rogue One because they believe it is essentially an attempt at White Genocide and an effort to deface the President Elect.

            I get that you don’t know anything, your ignorance has been on display repeatedly. All I can say is look up the news stories that are not even a week old about this boycott and who is foisting it upon the masses.

I’ve never heard one talk like you. I don’t care about news stories about people wanting to boycott SW. They are of no importance to me.

          See it like that, if anything looks like the Empire or the First Order in the Earth, to eyes of anyone (out of USA obviously), that is US army.

            It is up to you how you want to see it.
            Ronald Reagan has an Avenue in Warsaw, but he was not very welcome in other countries of Europe.
            I was just opening your eyes about the presence and size of USA military and the presence and size of other armies.
            Obviously each person has the right to interpret a movie as they want to do.
            Stalin for good or bad defeated Hitler, you only have to see the german casualties in the East front compared to the West. I think if you enjoy to compare, Clone Wars is more similar to World War 2, that time of history. The conflict showed in ANH, ESB, ROTJ, is not a global war as WW2 was, is an unbalanced conflict, Clone Wars had 2 sides similar power.
            I see you have enough age to remember Pinochet in Chile, he directly bombed his parlament 1973, if you see Darth Vader in 1978 was him, same clothes, similar glasses… Operation Condor and School of Americas in Panama. And related to this I would not be the first one saying that there is a kind of relationship between “The Death Star” and the CIA symbol.

      It’s not really coming from racist white people, well sort of. There are Star Wars fans who have their own agenda to not view or view the film just so they can pick it apart and see what flaws these new SW films have. When they do, these fans exploit a tiny imperfection and make it a big deal, but you also have to keep in mind that there are also SW fans who are not too keen on OT related material, and you know who those fans are.

        Those are not STAR WARS fans, those are STAR WARS hipsters. They will shit on every movie that is not original trilogy even before they watch it, and they will say like ”I will never watch it, because of that and that” and of course, they will be the first ones that will download Cam Version and watch it, because they can’t wait to watch it, and after they see it, they will like it, but they will still keep shitting on movie, because they want to stay ”loyal to their own stupid point of view on everything” And that’s what those people are.

    Incredible. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…It’s looking more and more like this may be the Star Wars movie I have been waiting almost 33 years for. From the dissapoinments of the prequels to the rehashed, missed opportunity of J.J.’s “Star Trek with Han Solo”, it’s been an long, dry spell.
    A New Hope is my favorite of them all (I was seven when it came out; nothing could have had a bigger influence on my life at that time) and to see the “story behing the story” is going to be amazing.
    So far it sounds like they’ve done it right. Can not wait for this!

      At the premiere, it’s “absolutely awesome!” If you ever want to be invited back to one of these things again. Just business.

        A lot of them had something (negative) to say about TFA in reviews, so it’s not just business.

        You can tell the difference between polite praise and genuinely overjoyed praise, which is what the reaction to R1 is reading as.

          Point me to negative first reactions from any recent red carpet premier and I’ll happily defer. The understood ettiquette seems to be ‘say something nice, and if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything until the film is in general release’.

    Well, that’s nice for them I suppose, but honestly “red carpet, invitee-only reactions say movie is good” – is that a surprise to anyone? We’ll see the real story in a few days. Anyways, tickets in hand for Friday, IMAX 3D (based on the look of the film so far, this’ll be the first time I’ve ever plunked down cash for those addons) and looking forward to it. Based on the comments about murky plotting and some hesitations raised over at bmd from the 28 minute sneak peak, I will go in with tempered expectations and hope to be blown away.

      I disagree. People came out of Episode VII and said they enjoyed the film and they were glad Star Wars was back. No one said it was the best Star Wars film ever. And there were people who openly criticized it right away.

        Totally. I liked it. Bits of it I liked a lot but I don’t love it. There’s a lot of valid criticism and it’s a hugely imperfect movie.

        Oh, as always, I intend to 🙂 just being the wet-blanket practical voice among all the “SEE!!! TWEETS SAY IT’S THE BEST EVAHR!!!!!!”. Did anyone really expect anything different after this screening? That said, regardless of how the film turned out I don’t think I’m going to regret having shelled out for the IMAX 3D – if nothing else, it LOOKS amazing, and even those with mixed feelings about the premier are saying it’s a visual treat.

      Didn’t it mostly remain that way after TFA? 92 percent on Rottentomatoes still to this day. If a premiere invite was cause for good review why doesn’t every movie with Premieres get almost all good reviews, more movies have Premieres than Star Wars and they don’t get nearly all good reviews just for the sake of being invited.

        That’s a bit confused logic. At the red carpet premier? Yeah, even mediocre films tend to get…well, these aren’t even reviews yet…nice tweets? The actual reviews will shake out however they will once critics get a hold of it and have the gag order removed. That’s all I’m saying – this part is entirely expected, and means little. It’s some nice WoM for LFL and Disney that people are saying nice things, but these aren’t critical reviews. There have been some less than ecstatic concerns raised, so I’m backing off the insane level of anticipation I’ve been building to with every trailer. As much as possible I’m going to try and go in with level expectations.

      Yeah that makes sense. I don’t know about these critics being ‘corporate sell-outs’ as apparently some people think. But the excitement of simply *being* at a red carpet premier seeing and meeting stars who pull out all the stops to make you feel welcome, together with the fact that most of these people are already die-hard Star Wars fans – all of this has to have an impact. It’s human nature: we’re less likely to trash someone who has treated us kindly, and we tend to transfer over good feelings that we had while experiencing something to that thing…

    They said exactly the same thing about Force Awakens although it was utter garbage. These reviews belong to #fakenews because obviously, these bloggers and “journalists” aren’t independent.

        Exactly, a lot of the critics shown above liked TFA, but had also some complaints about it. These are people who say what’s on their mind, if Rogue One was underwhelming/bad, most of them would have said that.

        Indirectly paid maximum (they dont get cash to post twitter reactions). And not all critics are corporate sellouts. They know pretty well that their credibility is very fragile. Beeing constantly wrong about a movie may costs a significant portion of their fanbase…

      Reactions to TFA were much more muted then these. People enjoyed the film, but didn’t go Gonzo over it aside from the fact it was better than the prequels and a decent film for them.

      Also, TFA wasn’t garbage. But you’re entitled to your angry opinion.

        I think its safe to say everybody’s TFA’s reviews were muted because we all wanted to be sure we liked it. Thus, the great majority (assumed) of people who said: “I liked it the first time, but LOVED it the second time.”

    practically none of the footage from the first TFA teaser was that way in the movie either. I’m concerned of the less fanboying reviews I see…. I read “plot holes” too often…

            Reshoots aren’t typically effects heavy shots. They’re typically inserts like Rey concentrating during the saber fight in TFA or new dialogue added to flesh our characters.
