Star Wars III for VIPs

:: Friday, May 20th 2005 @ 21:30 :: Miscellany ::

… or people who’ve only had time to write one article for a magazine so far.

Yesterday evening my sister and I went to see Star Wars III. I had got an invitation from the computer magazine, so of course I went, and I managed to drag her along.

Thank you for the movie night, Mr. Editor :razz:

I’m no critic, so I thought the movie was good. It wasn’t mind-blowingly good, though. The scene transitions were like out of a Power Point slide show (maybe faithful to the old movies?) and the funniness of the beginning baffled me — I thought, “I didn’t remember SW was a comedy.” All the robots had silly helium voices, the events happened too fast, the mushy-mushy scenes were tacky, and my sister pointed out that Palpatine was doing a pretty good impression on Gollum. In some of the scenic views it seemed like the picture was full of garbage but I figure they were vehicles that just weren’t moving (Why weren’t they? They forgot to animate them?)

Ewan McGregor shouldn’t have had a beard. That’s a big minus. But then again, he was playing Obi Wan. Hayden Christensen is just BLEURGH! (Although he’s… hmm… matured… since Higher Ground)

But, Ewan McGregor was in the movie! :)

    Yep, absolutely faithful to the original trilogy, which is why it’s been employed in this trilogy :)

    I have my own review on my blog, as my opinions were extensive, but I adored it.

    That’s really comforting to know…

    I’ll have to read your review when I get home.
