An entire zombie movie just to make a Japanese "herbivore" a man.
Herbivores are a class of Japanese male that withdraws from society
disinterested in social interaction, especially with the opposite sex;
or in the case of this movie, a "weak man". If the Korean "Seoul
Station" was about social class, in Japan it seems to be about men and
their various levels of manhood.

Short Review of "Rogue One" (2016), Gareth Edwards.
NOT REALLY SPOILERS (but some people are spoiled by everything)
Still a product, this Star Wars entry manages to both infuriate and ingratiate. Many possibilities are lost to the Gods of marketing, however risks are taken and the result is a watchable yarn that fits nicely with the sleeper hit of 1977. It lacks character dept and motivation. It feels short but padded with inane dialogue that yearns for emotion. The outstanding bits are mechanical: Alan Tudyk as the comic relief robot, the Death Star as menacing as it should have always been and Vader as the miniature and personal version. "Rogue One (aka: Suicide Squad)" is meant to be seen in 2D. Watch it that way.
