My Top 199 Favorite Sci-Fi Movies... Of Like, Ever (199 movies items)

"  Okay, okay, so yeah, most of the Star Wars sequels suck. Especially when they are compared to the original first three films. But, if I hadda choose one as being pretty decent out of the batch that were produced out of Disney's mammoth blockbuster belchin' machine, I'd say that it would be this one, Rogue One.  Of course, it doesn't come anywhere near being close to the "lightning-in-a-bottle quality of any of the first three, I do however find it  commendable on Rogue's attempt to address"

Didn't think the prequel films were that bad personally, but they had a lot wrong with them and were a long way from great, especially 'Attack of the Clones'. Personally actually loved 'The Force Awakens', despite the vitriolic hate it's got.
