WHY DIDN'T I LIKE THE NEW STAR WARS ?!

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2000)

well, lets not get ahead of ourself. it's not that i didn't like it, it's just that after such a long time of waiting in great anticipation, for what is without a doubt the most curious movie in all time, it was kind of disappointment. to be honest it wasn't a total surprised for me, since LUCAS founded the ILM studios in the latest 70's he produced special effects and computer graphics effects for many movies, in this time he based himself and ILM as one of the top companies in the world for computer special effects, in this time he also forgot how to direct. all of the above is to explain the fact that also the movie is an outstanding performance of sight and sound it isn't really a movie. while LUCAS done an amazing job on the art design along with the great music of JHON WILLIAMS (as also) the movie lack the basic foundations that make the story interesting. the movie is great to watch as long as you concentrate on the i n c r e d i b l e !! special effects and WILLIAMS outstanding music, the minute you try to sea beyond all that the movie crashes with a big bang. the main problem is with the script and story, they are far less then what we came custom of in the modern SF movies (like MATRIX, ALIEN1,2,3,4, ABYSS, T & T2 and so on), the script is full of holes and to complicate for SF movie of this kind. next time LUCAS should only produce and leave the story writing and directing for those who now how!!.
