tedious

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2008)

I wanted to like this film and I had created memories about how good it was when I saw it 20 years ago. But after seeing it again as an adult, I found it really really tedious. The special effects were still good for that time and absolutely does not distract from the film. What made this movie awful was the dialogue ... George Lucas simply cannot write decent dialogue nor can he write jokes and it shows painfully over and over again.
The pacing at Tatooine was too slow. A lot of doing nothing and that's fine but then it would need more interesting camera angles. I can't really blame them for this because it was something no one had done before.
