Is it a better war movie than Saving Private Ryan?

Yea, they tried to do some character development in a very short time, at least for Jyn.Vader just murdering everything was fucking awesome. The first part of the movie was all over the place though.

Really could have used an opening crawl. In fact, save TFA and maybe Phantom Menace, this movie needed a crawl for exposition more than any other SW movie.Yea, they tried to do some character development in a very short time, at least for Jyn.
Bodhi looks like a skinny Roman ReignsVader was badass at the end, but he had the worst line of the movie earlier. His, "Don't choke on your aspirations" was straight Arnold from Commando.
I thought the movie jumped around a lot at the very beginning and was a little hard to follow, but then it settled down as it played out. It took me a second to realize that the defecting pilot, Bodhi was the actor from "The Night of..."
The robot had some great lines.
I was amazed at how well they recreated characters from A New Hope. That was very well done.
Overall, I really liked it. I don't think that's as much recency bias as it was for The Force Awakens.
It was a bit creepyI do have to say I found the CGI of Tarkin a bit too deep in the uncanny valley. After seeing what "The Jungle Book" was capable of, I think it could've been better.
I need someone to explain to me the Forrest Whitaker character.
The score was a letdown for sure. However, they changed to a new composer in September so I don't blame him.I really think this movie could have used a crawl to set the scene. I was a bit confused with all of the jumping around at the beginning.
I noticed, well, right away without the typical Star Wars theme blaring away at the beginning who little music played in the movie. I guess I'm used to a powerful John Williams score to go along with the action.
