10 out of 10??? What were you watching???

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 2005)

Saw a screening tonight... RIP Star Wars, George has put the final nails in the coffin w/this abomination. Sure, it'll do a great box, but if it looks like @#$$, and smells like @#$$, well it probably is @#$$.
Episodes 1-3 have been like wounded animals that would have been better off being put out of their misery. The dialogue in this clunker is so god-awful it literally caused me physical pain to listen to it. I know he's married and has kids but really, has George Lucas ever kissed a girl? A wookie makes a tarzan yell? Hayden Christenson as Darth Vader? Somebody please tell George that having Hayden put his head down and then squinting upward to try and look fierce... well, let's just say it don't work. Hayden's tough just like Donnie was the tough New Kid on the Block...
Ewan McGregor, Sam Jackson, Natalie Portman, Chris Lee, the dude from that badass New Zealand movie, Jimmy Smits, etc... These people are capable actors. They are awful in this movie. The dialogue is so trite that even Patrick Swayze couldn't pull off this one (and he made "Point Break" watchable!).
This film is everything that is wrong w/big budget blockbuster movie making. No story + no script + casting A-listers who don't fit there parts + overkill on CGI (just 'cause ya' can do it George, well that don't mean ya' should...)+ a bunch of freaky zealots who sleep on the streets for weeks before watching this drivel = one helluva lousy movie.
10 out of 10? Please... Wanting something to be good doesn't make it good and this film is just plain bad. Not watchably bad, funny bad, just plain boring and bad.
