Awesome, best special effects ever and GOOD acting

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2002)

I have just seen AOTC and from the first minute i knew this was going to be so much better than Phantom Menace. It is better than Jedi aswell. As for the other two i dont know. Ive seen those hundreds of times and AOTC once so time will see.
This IS Star Wars, great story, the best special effects ever and of course YODA!!! that scene is just incredible. oh and ignore all those people who say the acting is horrid. Hayden is great, the menace in those eyes is incredible. Everyone else is good, Ewan is great and Natalie Portman is good and so gorgeous.
There were some things that bothered me though. First off make sure you check the Cinema you see it at has THX. The sound was so quiet in mine and it all came from the front. I will have to see it again in a good cinema(preferably with a Digital screen), it annoyed me so much.
As for the film, i noticed that every Clone trooper in the film was CGI, not one live actor in costume.Dont get me wrong they look great but it kinda bothered me.
Second the Jedi fight is so complex and dense that I couldnt really see what was going on. I think it will look better on digital film.
There is one C3PO line that is really bad and Anakins nightmare scene is a bit lame.
There is alot of violence in this but not a single bit of blood. Star Wars had a severed arm pouring with blood and that was a U(universal)
Now i have written alot about the bad points but that is because there is so much good stuff. Great action, intrigue and some classic one liners.
Make no mistake Star Wars is back!
