Nice Try But No Brass Ring

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2005)

After the heated opening and things settle down from all the hoop-la even sane Star Wars addicts will admit that the acting & dialog were painful to endure. Too bad, 'cause the visual fireworks were great. Lucas? If your listening....Go back and watch your own original #4. There the characters were fun and their interaction was great. We bonded with each and every one. Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hammel, and most of all Sir Alec Guiness made the magic happen. I guess it's the IL' story of seeing the forest for the trees.
All in all it still was a wild ride with all the FX and computer wizardry. Gee if only we saw what could have been.
