Well I'm sorry to piss in everyone's Cornflakes, but those high level movie critics need to put the rock pipe down. I just saw Ep. 3 tonight, and it was still nowhere near as good as any of the three original films. Same shallow, uninteresting characters and goddamn stupid-ass unreal looking CGI. I'm sorry, but movies just looked more REAL when they actually built sets with full size props and made people up in alien costumes, instead of trying to replicate all that on a fucking computer.
Yes, I know, it allows them to do whiz-bang stuff you can't do in real life, but it doesn't matter because no matter how well they do it the effects still look fake. Goddamn, the stop-motion AT-AT walkers from Empire Strikes Back look more real than all this digitized crap.
None of Eps. 1-3 stand on their own as a good, complete movie; if I look at them objectively and not as a SW fan, they just plain suck. There is near-zero character development, so I just find myself thinking "why the fuck do I care what's happening to these people?"
About all I can say in it's defense is that it was much better than 1 & 2 put together... it lost some of the general lifelessness and bad-beyond-belief acting that they had. I might have thought it was a bit better still if the last part of the film hadn't felt so rushed. I guess they didn't have a choice though since they wanked around so much with the story in 1-2 and had so many loose ends left to tie up.
I guess I got my hopes up too much for this one, cause I'm disappointed. I should have known better after the last two catastrophes. Fuck you, George. Fuck you.
