Lucas is a joke

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2004)

This man should not be directing anything.....ever again.... He's just a money maker, who will release another 3 versions of the original trilogy, then release 3 versions of the latest trilogy, then sell all 6 in a box set, and in the end, you've bought 10 copies of 1- the same stagnant-old trilogy and 2- the sorry excuse for prequels.
Lucas proves in Episode II that he is just interested in CGI, not performance. all the actors/actresses in this movie are very good(except Hayden Christensen), but are all compromised due to very poor direction. Hayden isn't the greatest actor, but listen to those lines he has to deliver! and Natalie Portman seems bored responding her useless lines as well. The CGI is in fact good, but it's like watching someone else play a video game and you wish you had a joystick to move around on screen.
IN the end it's just sad that people are afraid to stand up to Lucas and get him out of the director's chair, that true fans know their being dealt garbage and to stop spending money on everything that they release. Fans, if you want good stories, just read and watch the sources that Lucas has stolen from, The Dune Novels, 2001: a Space Odyssey, and the Kurosawa films.
