what an awful lot of crap

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2005)

After reading and hearing so much good about this star wars picture I can't prevent myself noting down some negative aspects. To be honest: it is in fact awful. It is strange and impossible to believe that someone who apparently is so inventive and creative in producing special effects on the film screen, is so utterly lacking in any sort of talent for making a real film. Most of the film consists of scenes in which Yedi-knights are wielding their laser swords; in fact no 5 minutes pass by without these things flying around. However, the acting is so really unbelievably bad, that after a few minutes of a crap of a dialog one prays for a fighting scene: all is better than this. Awful music. Absolute no humor. Babies delivered to "loving" carers with sunsets (2 suns!!) in the background and swelling choruses. Unbelievable drama: why is Mr Anikin turning to the Dark Side? Because of a nightmare??? Next time less gin in your cocktail, Mr Anikin! A possible Yedi knight, trained in wisdom, walking over to the dark side because of a sleepless night??? You need a good psychiatrist and your wife a good obstetrician, I would say. And than the fighting between two individuals: these always end with the good guy seeming to fall into a precipice, but no, he holds on with his fingernails, magnetically attracts some sort of gun laying in the neighborhood and kills the bad guy off. So, during a fight you see a precipice looming up, you know the end of the fight is near. And so on, and so on. Keep away from star wars!!!!
