#20 This is why you don't trust professional reviewers. There is no world where The Force Awakens is better than Rogue One. Force Awakens was a waste of money. Rogue One is better than the originals.

Still surprised and amazed why people seem to like Mad Max : Fury Road. Not even in the same league as the others, despite the cast !! Storyline was rubbish !
