Nope didn't like it

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2005)

This article is addressed to all the funs of the original Star Wars movies (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi) and mostly to those rare funs who didn't see any of the prequels that George Lukas made. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT watch any of the prequels and especially Episode III Revenge of the Sith. I have watched all three of the prequels and I feel that I have to warn people. It has been some time now since I had watched Episode I and Episode II so I will elaborate only on the latest release. OK I wasn't fair. Not everyone will hate the movie like I did. If you enjoy explosive graphics and special effects you will surely be impressed by it at least for the first 20 minutes or so. But if you belong in the group of people that like Star Wars because of their innovative scripts, great performances (like Harrison Ford's) and characters with personality that kept the same throughout the trilogy of the original series, you will surely be disappointed. What made this movie so horrible? Well lets start in the way that all star wars movies start. Action scenes. No surprises there, not even good choreography, only the music saves the scenes from becoming unbearable. Great villains die easy and all the moves are so predictable that you just don't care to watch what is going to happen next. Apart from that it seems that all the Jedi knights are really easy to kill, except for Ben and Yoda. Dialogs are plane stupid. No one talks like that, no one is that lame. I mean there is no one in the whole galaxy that is cool enough, say like Han Solo was in the original movies? Or is that just a 70s thing. Oh well. Talking about cool characters, who is the coolest guy in Star Wars? Better yet who is the smoothest, darkest villain? Darth Vader. Well forget about that, all the coolness was destroyed in this episode. Looks more like an emotionally disturbed teenager. And for a former Jedi and a person that is always prepared and crashes all of his opponents (at least in the old movies) he gets manipulated really easy. OK apart from all that, the scenes are rushed, everything happens quickly (event the conversion to the Dark Side) and the love story is worse than soaps. So there you go. I really would like to give examples my critique but I would hate to spoil the fun for anyone that wants to watch the movie. There is one scene though that really destroyed everything for me, I have to say it. After a fight between Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, note after Anakin became dark and so on, while lying on the ground severely wounded, Vader says to Ben "I hate you". Oh come on, the greatest villain is ready to die and he can't think of something better to say. Sounds like me fighting with my sister when I was Ten. All I can think of is, "your such a pussy Anakin"
