Does not add up

Rating: 4/10 (21 October 2012)

I am watching this movie right now and can only think how stupid Lucas was to make the trilogy in the way he made it. The movies look much more futuristic than the three original films which were supposed to take place later. There are creatures and robots we have never seen before and one question I would like to know is why are droids like Grievous (who has a cough!!?) wearing clothes like cloaks? Lucas should have at least kept the look of the older movies - just because he could have more spectacular effects he was so wrong to employ them. Far too much green screen has been used and it has affected the actors' performances. They are not convinced they are really there and neither are we. Hayden Christensen would make a tree look animated and even Ewan Macgregor always sounds as though he would rather be somewhere else. Too much money has been lavished on these newer films and they are nowhere near as good as the first three. its 2013 and I am watching this again on TV. My original thoughts have not really changed. Ewan seems to be in another sort of movie from the way he delivers his lines. the screen is filled to bursting with action in the fight scenes but that does not make them as good as the original movies action sequences. Just because they could does not mean that they should have gone well over the top with creatures ,droids, robots and spaceships.
