Another argument to ban CGI

Rating: 1/10 (5 June 1999)

It was quite clear that Lucas & Co. were so in love with the idea of CGI that they failed to notice that the original Star Wars characters have far more dimension than these flat (both in appearance and quality) characters ever did. The effects in the old movies were actually more convincing and interesting. The only characters that were at all likeable were - surprise - R2D2 and C3PO. (Thank the Lord they didn't CGIfy R2D2! And don't get me started on that awful Jar Jar creature.) As for the writing, the story was apparently none of our business. I would like my $6 back.
