Strangely [spoiler]John C. Reilly was the best actor, everyone else was fairly mediocre. Overall it was much better than Godzilla and the two films are in the same monsterverse.[/spoiler]
Visuals and cinematography were excellent and the Blade Runneresque city was cool but lacked any real life. The story was flat and simple, would've been a lot better if it dealt with the moral dilemmas of human augmentation but clearly they wanted the film accessible to simpletons and weebs that wanted to stare at Scarlett's butt.

Wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the first one. They took the first movie's characters and blended them into this lacklustre backstory that has nothing to do with the original literature. Johnny Depp's role as the Mad Hatter wasn't nearly as satisfying either. The first movie was more enjoyable because it introduced all these characters that brought some spice to the table, but now these characters are known and they bring nothing new. SFX was decent but that's pretty much all it had going for it.
Rogue One - 5/10 - huge disappointment. story was ok, but the music was sub-standard and the main character actress was terrible, not a patch on Daisy Ridley

the CGI Tarkin and Leia made me LOL tho
I concur - the graphics looked half baked with those two, but the explosions were mega
