First off:
There is no right or wrong answer. It is just purely personal opinion and preference and this poll is just for fun........so hopefully we can keep this civil...
which film did you enjoy more and why?
I enjoyed both films.
here are some random thoughts.
R1
I felt that R1 was a needed departure into a more gritty, seedy, dark area of the rebellion. For me personally I felt the characters had little depth, were rushed and tough to connect with. Andor was probably the weakest link in the movie for me and I felt that well Chirrut came off as being annoying at first....he really grew on me throughout the movie and was the only character I felt an on screen connection with. Jyn was ok but I could not connect with her character, she was not very inspiring in terms of her speeches/onscreen presence, very limited background story to see what led up to her being a criminal (besides her escape at the beginning) and overall didn't really capture me as a viewer. K-2s0 was fun comedic relief. Vader's first appearance was cringe worthy with his lame pun but he totally redeemed himself at the end ! The battle on Scarif was well done and entertaining. I would still rank it behind the battle of Hoth and probably on par with the battle for Endor.
Could go on and on with what I enjoyed and what I didn't but overall it was an entertaining movie and great addition to the franchise.
TFA
Good and the bad for me. The bad is obvious....it was pretty much a remake which was cloned upon previous movies. The good.....it worked out very, very well and was a highly entertaining/fun movie to watch which helped me forget about the first criticism. Kylo Ren was the weakest link in the movie for me and I found watching him on the screen was akin to nails on a chalkboards. Rey and Finn, while not Oscar worthy were very serviceable and I could make a connection with their characters to bring me into the film. Besides the obvious bad plot it was a fun movie for me to watch.
final thoughts
R1 was the better film in the sense of plot but TFA was more enjoyable for me personally to watch due to the flow of the film, characters and obvious nostalgia. But I still enjoyed them both.... I think after I watch Rogue One a few more times I will be able to pick the one that will stand the test of time for me.
