First Reactions After the Rogue One World Premiere!

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:

 

So… #RogueOne? It’s freaking great! So many crowd-pleasing moments! It’s emotional, exciting and incredibly satisfying. Loved it!

I have done a Star Wars. A+, would do again. And again and… #RogueOne

— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) December 11, 2016

More seriously, #RogueOne was well executed and Star Wars down to its bones. I loved it.

— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) December 11, 2016

#RogueOne has so much heart. It’s hopeful, in your face, and pulls no punches.

ROGUE ONE: The plotting and objectives are needlessly murky, but the look of this thing is *ravishing*. Drop the “why” and embrace the “wow”

ROGUE ONE mvps: Donnie Yen, Ben Mendelsohn, and Alan Tudyk’s shade-serving robot

ROGUE ONE’s real secret weapon is d.p. Greig Fraser, whose underlit, dreamy frames rep a brave stylistic break from today’s blockbuster look

ROGUE ONE had me from the opening to the very end. Incredible action mixed with a script fans are going to love. Going to make people happy.

The 3rd act is really amazing. Some of the best action in any Star Wars movie. Need to see it again asap.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016

Also do not read any reviews. So many of the twists and turns have not been revealed in marketing. My jaw hit ground a few times.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016

With all the talk of reshoots and production problems the final cut of Rogue One is worth the wait. Man that 3rd act….so so good.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016

One of the best things about Rogue One are the new characters. They’re so well done and expand the universe. You care about all of them.

People worried about #RogueOne not being a gritty war film need not worry. It’s intense, relentless. You can practically taste the grit.

— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016

I had high hopes. It exceeded them.

— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016

As with The Force Awakens, a fair number of shots from the #RogueOne trailers aren’t in the movie. But the trailers did capture the tone.

— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016

Chirrut Imwe and K-2SO steal the movie. Amazing work by Donnie Yen and Alan Tudyk.

— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016

I expected it to be funny. I didn’t expect to be choked up. Moments of true bravery, and some speeches we need right now. #RogueOne

— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016

Last thought (for now): Vader gets a moment of pure horror. Maybe more than one, arguably. #RogueOne

— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016

 

 

HOLY FUCK! ROGUE ONE IS SPECTACULAR. IF YOU DON’T SEE THIS MOVIE MORE THAN ONCE YOU SUCK AT LIFE!!!! @starwars !!!! WOW. WOW!!!

— Kyle Newman (@kyle_newman) December 11, 2016

 

 

Star Wars fans will be very happy with #RogueOne. It’s fun, action packed, doesn’t feel neutered by reshoots. Donnie Yen and K2so standouts.

— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) December 11, 2016

Theres an amazing amount of footage/dialogue in the #RogueOne trailers and marketing that are not in the film, including Troopers in water.

Holy crap did I love Rogue One. It’s gonna take days to wipe the smile off my face. So many surprises and so much fun. Get excited.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) December 11, 2016

Tonight was amazing. And I can’t wait for everyone to see #RogueOne to talk about all the ins and out and spoilers. Because there are lots.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) December 11, 2016

So @JayneLyons and I just watched all the trailers and teasers for #RogueOne . Without exaggeration, 50% of it or more isn’t in the movie.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) December 11, 2016

That’s not a bad thing cause the movie works very well but, don’t wait for what you see. Let’ts talk Thursday. #RogueOne
