Finally saw it. In my 33 years I've never waited this long to see a SW movie, but we were having some financial problems and going to the movies wasn't in the cards
Some general thoughts, and after finally being able to back read in here:
- loved the easter eggs and call backs, from the blue milk on Erso's table to the rebel keeping watch on the tower on Yavin 4. Great stuff
- Vader's voice seemed off, but it has been almost 40 years
- 2nd act was slooooooow. Painfully slow. That said, I need to re-watch, I was a little tired to begin with
- CGI was solid. Tarken was much better than Leia
- loved the general tone of the movie. It didn't feel like a SW movie really until the battle at the end
- Didn't love the score, it was really missing some of the fundamental SW music
- I re-watched Vader's scene at the end like 4 times, that was incredible
- Glad everyone died
- Love the "sequel" pictures
- Thought the end was a little choppy and convenient, but left me happy
