I watched this again last night.
The Great: K2SO; Chirrut and Baze; watching Chirrut fight the stormtroopers; Krennec; Saw; Riz Ahmed is terrific; the action scenes; the opening sequence; the way it all ends (all the deaths, not Vader or Leia)
The good: Jyn and Cassian; Vader
The terrible: The last shot of Leia; Tarkin's eyes; the music feels half-finished; there is no setup for Vader, his place here feels wholly irrelevant; the film spends too much time setting up Jyn's backstory and motivations, when I with they spent more time fleshing out Cassian and the pilot.
I still like this movie a lot, but as with TFA, I find it to be very uneven. Felicity Jones doesn't blow me away or anything (and is often overshadowed by K2SO), and I feel like some good opportunities were missed because the filmmakers tried to cram in too many characters. I'd be happier with no Jyn, Vader, Leia, C3PO & R2, or Bail Organa, and more time with Cassian, the pilot, Chirrut, Baze, and Saw.
