Star Wars 3

Saw Star Wars 3 today. I completly enjoyed it. Although I'm sure the whiners and complainers will find plenty not to love, I think they are always going into the movie looking for excuses to hate it, so it's no wonder they always manage to.

So as not to spoil any of it for anyone who is taking their time to see it, I'll talk about it some other

I've never understood why Episode I was so hated by so many people. I understand that Jar Jar is annoying, and I can't argue with that, but really I found it an enjoyable film. What is lacked in intensity of plot it made up for in character establishment (which really was the purpose of the film). I think people hated it so much just because it was pale in comparison to the original trilogy. (I gave it 8/10.)

I for one enjoyed Episode II as well, but it's my lest favourite of all of them. The plot was way more intriguing than in "Phantom Menace" but that improvement was countered by the absolutely terrible dialogue, particularly between Padme and Anakin. It's too bad that good actors like Christensen and Portman have to deliver lines like that. I can't blame them for their bad performances when the script they have to work with sucks majorly. Nonetheless, overall, it still gets a "thumbs up"(© Ebert & Roeper) from me with a 7/10.

Episode III on the other hand, is spectacular, worthy of accolades given to the original trilogy. It does everything it's supposed to in terms of character development and filling in gaps in the plot. It's the most visually stunning film I have seen in my life (even more so than LOTR:ROTK I think), and it was nice to see some emotional involvement in the characters too. Special FX are worthless if you can't feel anything for the characters or the stories. The only thing that detracts from this movie is, again, some awful dialogue and poor delivery of lines (Jackson and Portman are particularly guilty this time around). Second best film I've seen this year (everyone go see "Crash"). 9/10.

My full review to come in my LJ soon ;-)

(BTW . . . the originals all get 10/10 from me :-Þ)
