Hey, it's Star Wars!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 1999)

I'm sure you've heard all the negative aspects said about this movie, so I won't bore you by going into depth about them(well maybe just a little depth). All in all, its was a GOOD film. Not great, but good. I don't care how much CGI you pack into a movie, or how engrossing the images may be; I want better dialogue. The story was adequate for what Lucas set out to accomplish, but there were many scenes that seem to be just thrown in there to show off the computer images. THEY DIDN'T SERVE THE PLOT AND THAT IS MY MAJOR GRIPE ABOUT THIS FILM. Don't try to dazzle me with images. Make my want to see it again by telling a story that is hard to forget with interesting dialogue and compelling characters. The casting was dead on; you couldn't ask for a better queen or a little Skywalker. The Jedi Knights, Qui Gon and Obi Wan were great also........but some of the things they have to say are sometimes laughable. I love Star Wars movies; I really do. I just wanted more, and the hype that surrounds this movie will only prove to hinder its success. Episode II will be better; George Lucas has given us a taste of what's to come, and if he can develop an engrossing story with truly satisfying revelations, EVERYONE will love it, guaranteed. Just look at "The Empire Strikes Back". Oh yes, the future of the Star Wars movies looks very bright indeed.
