S**t Wars

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2005)

How can anyone delude themselves into thinking this was a good movie. The much tooted special effects were not so special. The visuals looked so fake that you might have well been watching a cartoon. Did Ben Kenobi riding that lizard look realistic ? Was the the final light-sabre fight in anyway believable ? or was it just me that thought this film was a phony GCI nightmare. During the battle sequences could anyone see what was going on with out being sick or falling into a seizure.
As for the acting Hayden Christensen has the charisma of an ironing board, giving a porno style delivery during the love scenes with Portman. Only Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor comes out of this mess with any credit and only because of his ability to chew the scenery while delivering Lucas's hideous dialogue.
And was I the only person who found Yoda annoying, nasty, smug and wished he had been killed?
