| 353847 | 2005-05-11 06:08:00 | I returned from the viddy store last night clutching the 3 remastered originals, Mrs Metla was less then impressed,muhahahaha. Hopefully this new one will go some way towards redeeming the last 2,which in my ever humble opinion were just utter utter horse****,a disgrace and an insult. |

Hopefully this new one will go some way towards redeeming the last 2,which in my ever humble opinion were just utter utter horse****,a disgrace and an insult. We have to ask ourselves, why were the later Star Wars movies so universally disappointing? Was it because we were not shocked, amazed and so utterly impressed as we were by the original in 1978? (Mind you, when you go back and watch the original it looks pretty cheesy and 'fresh' by today's standards) Or is it because we have been inundated with me-too movies that have equally tried to amaze and impress us to the point of sensory overload where everything is now 'eye candy' and pretty ho hum? Or are we all getting older and harder to impress? Remember I-Robot, Independence Day and MIB? Weren't they just absolute rubbish? Was it the common actor? I doubt it. Have a look at any movie that has massive pre-release hype - they almost always disappoint. Why? Because our expectations have been built up where we expect the most amazing movie of all time when all we get is something that is not too different to what we have seen before. It's a question of expectations - go into a movie with no expectations, and provided it is not a 'chick flick', then you probably won't be disappointed. Who was disappointed by Batman and all those other super-hero movies? I'll bet most post-tweenagers were. Contrast those movies with the first time you saw Aliens or Die Hard. My conclusion? Ignore any movie that has pre-release hype that you cannot ignore or get away from. It's the easiest way not to feel disappointed and 'ripped off'. My 2c |

| 353851 | 2005-05-11 10:27:00 | Its still entirely possible to make great movies, hype or no hype. The Phantom Menace sucked because they used (overused by a massive amount) a cheap trick to add humour (that being Jar Jar, not only annoying in every way but not at all funny). Under-wrote the 2 Jedi characters, under unitised what should have been one of the best bad guys of all time...that being Darth Maul, we see him a couple times, he looks menacing, next thing you know he is dead. The kid who played Anikan was a terrible actor, absolutely atrocious, and using a "cute" kid is just another cheap trick. The script was bottom dweller craptastic and the story was weak. The story still could have formed the base for a good movie if the rest of the travesties weren't heaped upon it. The following movie should have been called Star wars of our lives, the script for all characters, the story lines, the acting, all could have come straight from the team who bring day time soaps to TV on a daily basis, there is only one thing worse then drama, bad drama. God it was bad, felt like hours of crap dialogue and poorly thought out love scenes, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle stop Cafe was a more interesting movie, and that about about a bunch of woman gas bagging. The other thing that bugged me was the battle at the end, they had them all in one place,...so they run at them with light sabres? What the hell? A strategic mind would have dropped a bomb on them, problem solved, or crashed a moon into their planet, not only problem solved but it would make a great spectacle to watch. Or even better, use a bomb to blow a moon into that planet which throws the planet out of orbit and into the nearest sun. Woohoo....I would pay to see that. Anyhow, I ramble, but just imagine how good those last 2 Star Wars films could have been if someone like Peter Jackson was behind them.... |

| 353853 | 2005-05-11 11:16:00 | i liked I-Robot, i think it was wicked. i dont think i will ever get the starwars movies, i just dont like them, but i have to agree, the special effects on the first 3 were pretty good for that time. |
