kevin smith's butt boy does it again

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2005)

ARRRRGGGGHHHH. This movie has generated more division between people than any that I can think of in recent memory. I am amazed that people love this movie. Lucas must be using some Jedi mind trick for people to go yeah, the dialogue is bad, the plot is bad, and the cgi is everywhere but I loved it. Huh? The only thing I can think of is that people wanted to like this one so bad that they almost hypnotized themselves into loving it. I'm starting to think the only reason the first three were good was due to the performances of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. Lucas writes like a fat 6th grade boy who plays too many video games. How can you trust someone who goes I need to redo the originals because they just were not what I wanted adds 30 seconds of fairly worthless eye candy and remarkets his movies every 5 years. I sometimes think that these are just big commercials for all the many toys that these movies generate cuz every single extra has an action figure based on them. Not only did this movie stick a stake in Lucas for me but I am perplexed that Kevin Smith wet himself over the likes of Daredevil and this. A man who made Clerks and Chasing Amy should know better. But than again he also made the horrible dirty joke disguised as a film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
