Rogue One - must just be me...

alobearYesterday, for the third time in my life, I walked out of a film at the cinema, part way through.
I thought I'd gone into Rogue One with a completely open mind, willing to find it entertaining, even though I'm not that interested in Star Wars.
In the first 40 minutes, I found the plot hackneyed, the characters entirely unengaging, the specifics of the plot tedious, and the indiscriminate killing frankly oppressive.
I had plenty of other things I'd rather be doing with my time, so I left, read in the lobby until the film was finished and my ride home was available.
I also read several reviews of Rogue One - and the internet seems to wholly disagree with me.
Maybe, it was something to do with the fact that my head felt like it was wrapped in cotton wool, and I was finding it difficult to breathe (I'm on holiday, so of course I immediately got ill). Maybe I wasn't in as good a mood as I'd thought. I don't know - but, last night at least, Rogue One did absolutely nothing for me whatsoever.
Your mileage may vary, and very probably will!
