Stop Frame

I owe Gareth Edwards an apology. I’ve been unkind to him and, especially now with the power of hindsight, he deserved better. Who knew, when all was said and done, that he would (mostly) direct the best of the Disney Star Wars films, Rogue One ? To properly cover this, there will be here spoilers here. You have been warned. The man has directed precisely three feature-length films: Monsters (2010), Godzilla (2014), and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). I still believe he doesn’t handle humans well. His human characters generally come across as flat and, more often than not, not likeable. Now, a film’s main character doesn’t have to be likeable, but if they’re not then they have to be interesting, and his characters are, generally, not interesting. In both Monsters and Godzilla , I was rooting for the monsters. Please, please, please crush, kill, and even eat these mouth-breathers! This was also true for most of the cast of Rogue One , with a few exceptions. Donnie Yen and
