Romeo and Juliet starts with a narration saying "these kids gonna die" and it's one of the most popular and enjoyed plays in history. You might not like it, but it is not a bad way to tell a story.
Yes, but you're whinging because the story wasn't told in a way you like. Telling the ending is an ancient story telling device, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. It can build dramatic irony, because you know Oedipus is sleeping with his mom, that Romeo will die, that Troy will fall, but the characters don't. The stories are built around that. Sure, you may not like it, but it is a fine and good storytelling device.
Okay that's true, but then what was the point of any of what you said? That you didn't personally like rogue one? Why did you jump to the side of someone saying it sucked for that reason if you don't think that?
worse isn't the same as bad. enjoying something less than you could have doesn't mean not enjoying it at all. I mostly liked rogue one, especially next to the JJ ones, but the prequelness takes a lot away from it and while I like gary whitta, it's a worse story than the books that disney pissed on and rian johnson burned in effigy.
giving up tension for no value is a bold move and I can't remember the last time it paid off. maybe better Call Saul will manage it, but i'm waiting for it to conclude before watching the last few seasons.
True, but my point here was that "you know the ending of the film" isn't a legitimate complaint. You can still think the writings trash, but this isn't a legitimate argument.

that doesn't tell you anything about whether it would be better the first time if you didn't know
:honk-enraged: WHY WASN'T THE STORY MADE THE WAY I LIKE IT?
you can only experience something for the first time once
