Some of you have unrealistically high standards. I thought CGI Tarkin and Leia looked fantastic. Yeah you could tell it was CGI, but it wasn't that bad.
Having said that, the movie overall was pretty meh. Felt no emotional connections to any of the characters and aside from Jyn I don't remember any of their names. The character development could have been better. I found it kind of tough to determine who everyone was working with at the beginning. It all made sense at the end so I'd like to watch it again having a clearer understanding of who everyone is. Also the love story that was non-existent throughout the movie but somehow developed at the very end seemed a bit weird.
Darth Vader was underwhelming. His costume looked cheap, the voice sounded either really good or really bad. The actor in the suit didn't capture his maneurisms very well at all. The way he moved didn't feel authentic. The shot of him without his suit on was pretty cool and the lightsaber scene at the end was kind of fun I guess. I'm a huge Vader fan though so I may just be nitpicking.
Overall 7/10. Sill enjoyed it but if I had lived my life without ever seeing it I wouldn't be upset. I don't get how anyone can think it's better than episode VII but to each their own I guess. Fun enough movie for a one-off but certainly didn't blow me away.
