Rogue One didn't measure up?
Personally I thought Rogue One was ok in cinemas, but I found it hard to care very much about the characters, so it wasn't any better than "ok".
Rewatching it after Andor really lifted it for me, because now I did have an investment in the characters to a much greater degree.
Yeah, people claim Andor is a great movie. But to me it doesn't hold up. It looks like a great movie. What I always imagined and hoped for in a prequel/sequel as a kid.
But... All the main characters died at the end and I didn't care at all. In contrast the bloody robot died in the middle of the movie and I was very sad.
To me it totally falls flat on its protagonist. Which is kind of critical for a movie to be "good" in my books. At least it had a protagonist, I guess, unlike the Phantom Menace,
Eww, Red Letter Media? I thought we had collectively finally agreed that their low-effort nitpicking style of media criticism was crap back around the time Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Sins got cancelled. I honestly can't believe RLM was ever popular. Beyond the fact that it agreed with the then-consensus of "perqels bad!!!1!1!!!", I've never been able to see any redeeming qualities to it. Asinine attempts at comedy, shallow analysis, wilfully misinterpreting the text. I've not watched it since the first time I saw it over a decade ago, but all it did was harden me in my stance that the prequels are actually not that bad, and the haters are just morons who hate anything different from exactly what they were already expected. (I'll admit, I have since softened on that stance and can recognise the many flaws in the prequels, but they're still a lot better than RLM gives them credit for, and their approach is certainly not good film criticism.)
