Thoughts

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2005)

Well recently I have just seen Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't a little bit disappointed with the film. Don't get me wrong it was a very good film and it had its strengths and weaknesses, as does any film. A few things that I'm getting a little sick of in movies recently is the reliance on the special and digital effects. It's almost as if Lucas has gotten lazy. Episode 1 through 3 is absolutely bombarded with digital effects. Like Yoda, in Episodes 4-6 Yoda was a puppet and it worked. But in the new ones he's completely computer generated. Another thing, is the comic relief that Lucas threw in there. There was too much and it made the film seem corny. A third thing that I didn't like, was the acting. Hayden Christiansen is not the greatest actor in the world, nor is Natalie Portman. But Hayden played a good Darth Vader and you felt his pain and suffering. All and all it wasn't as good as I was expecting but it was very entertaining.
