flashy

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2005)

i have to admit, i didn't go into this movie expecting anything great. i really wasn't going to see it until i was invited. so, i tried to keep a somewhat open mind. i think what made the original star wars great was that they did so much with the little that they had. now, it's like they just want to impress the audiences with flashy lights. yes, the special effects were impressive. it was also kind of interesting to see the characters transforming from something good to something evil. however, the acting ability was not something they really got into with this movie. there were some good moments, but overall, the focus was simply on the flashy lights and things that go boom. actors that are usually very good were not in this movie. however, i can't say that i blame them because they probably knew the whole point of the movie was to show off the special effects and computer tricks. for those of you that would like some closure in the series, see it. for those of you who really don't care, don't waste your time.
