Five complaints about Episode III

Rating: 3/10 (6 June 2005)

1. I think George Lucas wanted to turn our attention away from the characters and plot and redirect it to the ENDLESS sky traffic in every shot. It does not mesh well with IV-VI 2. R2D2 was CGI for many of his shots. He looked very fake and moved about in an odd manner unlike the "adorable" little robot in IV-VI 3. The giant lizard was STUPID. I can't put it any other way.
4. The operation fixing Darth Vader's limbs was very hokey and simple. I think I remember machines "welding" on a leg for a split second. Lucas spent almost 3 hours converting this character to evil, and rushed the most important transformation of all: Darth Vader into the black costume. THEN we don't even get to see him cause any trouble as the familiar Darth Vader. I think he could have put 5 more minutes of him in the suit doing SOMETHING.
5. Lucas reintroduced familiar characters, which was good, but it seemed very thrown together. Personally, if I were writing it, I would have brought the timeline up closer to the time of Episode IV and had a few shots of Han and Luke, etc. I KNOW there's footage on some reel somewhere that he could have blended into his buzzing CGI madness he calls a movie.
Worth a movie ticket? Yeah. Worth the $30 DVD? I don't think so.
