Boring people doing uninvolving things

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2005)

I notice from the voting breakdown that 47% of voters gave "Revenge of the Anagram" a full 10 points. Sad. I suppose that's what happens when you give 15 year olds the vote. Based on Yoda's dialogue alone the film would rate a 2 at best and Yoda's advice about emotional connection to Anakin was just a dreadful piece of pseudo-profound nonsense. The Wookies made more sense.
And the word "younglings". Just embarrassing.
That I gave this film 4 is based purely on the visuals. As so often happens, the technical guys came through in a big way while just about every other aspect of the film made their effort pointless. More proof, if we need it, that great special effects don't make a great film.
The reality is that the last three films have been a spectacular waste of resources, still leaving "Empire" as the Star Wars high water mark. The film George Lucas had least to do with is by far and away the best film in the series. And no amount of voting 10 for a dull piece of technical eye candy is going to change that.
