Did I see the same film?

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2005)

I'm confused. I saw the film and was stunned by the lack of quality. The print I saw was dark, murky and full of film flaws. The focus was off repeatedly. The framing was terrible. Often the tops of the heads were chopped off while we saw lots of shoulder tops. One classically bad cut went from a closeup of SkyWalker to a shot where he was hidden behind a pillar. Many shots were dark on dark, so the scene was over-lit in post, resulting in gray on gray. Honestly I've see better framing and focus every week on TV. Am I missing something? Also Yoda was not in the same league as Gollum as far as CGI characters go. Lucas can't match an Australian FX house?
