Episode 3: The Typewriter Strikes Back

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2004)

This movie was a lot longer than I'd expected. I felt that the first half was a little to slow, and a bit flat, character-wise. George Lucas doesn't seem to be able to write convincing dialogue any more (Harrison Ford would argue that he never could in the first place). At some points it seems that he can't remember how to direct real actors either, so caught up as he is in the digital revolution. The second half was definitely an improvement, and Christopher Lee still commands attention. It's a shame that he was not on for longer, but as he escaped at the end there's room for him in Episode 3. Let's hope so!
