Too much, too little - "too" something

Oh well - it's not that i didn't like it. The problem is THIS. "It's not that i didn't like it". Ok, ok, maybe i am old, maybe i am high on expectations on Star Wars. My point is, you have reached a level of graphic effects in which you can do ANYTHING (and make do by actors as well). So how comes that Yoda (by far the absolute spotlight) didn't stir in me the sheer delight of when i saw him (it?) in SW5 ? And coming to that, when the best actor in the movie is a puppet-computer effect, there's something to think about, isn't it? The young Anakin is a promise, granted, but i still stay with a sensation of "too much" (special FX, noise, graphics, sequences fit for a videogame) and "too little" (character deepening, situation exploring, cameos taken and suddenly dropped). Anyway, if you are an old SW fan, you can go and see this flick. It is a bit like completing your baseball cards collection - but don't expect more.
