Please George,show mercy

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

Although it's been two years,i still can't recover from the Attack of the Smurfs experience.I am not a die hard fan of the OT,but i still think they deserved sth less yawn-inducing for a prequel.Gone is the wit and chemistry of the original characters.
Instead,we have a jaw-droppingly bad script,which,together with the terrible pacing of the movies and the frankly annoying blue screen,makes this movie a painful experience.It is interesting that only the secondary characters are able to pull it off (Obi-Wan,Dooku,Windu etc.).
The romance is a joke,honestly,the two kids deserve a metal for delivering the lines ( coarse sand...truly...deeply...love you etc)with a straight face.The FX is impressive,but still a movie can't be saved with 'better digital eye-lash rendering'(..see Simpsons :p )
Still i don't want to give up on George just yet,i still think Episode 3 can be the best of the PT (not OT OBVIOUSLY!) and hopefully we won't have to sit through another 'you're in my very soul,tormenting me' cringe worthy performance.
