Star Wars III for VIPs
… or people who’ve only had time to write one article for a magazine so far.
Yesterday evening my sister and I went to see Star Wars III. I had got an invitation from the computer magazine, so of course I went, and I managed to drag her along.
Thank you for the movie night, Mr. Editor
I’m no critic, so I thought the movie was good. It wasn’t mind-blowingly good, though. The scene transitions were like out of a Power Point slide show (maybe faithful to the old movies?) and the funniness of the beginning baffled me — I thought, “I didn’t remember SW was a comedy.” All the robots had silly helium voices, the events happened too fast, the mushy-mushy scenes were tacky, and my sister pointed out that Palpatine was doing a pretty good impression on Gollum. In some of the scenic views it seemed like the picture was full of garbage but I figure they were vehicles that just weren’t moving (Why weren’t they? They forgot to animate them?)
Ewan McGregor shouldn’t have had a beard. That’s a big minus. But then again, he was playing Obi Wan. Hayden Christensen is just BLEURGH! (Although he’s… hmm… matured… since Higher Ground)
But, Ewan McGregor was in the movie!
Yep, absolutely faithful to the original trilogy, which is why it’s been employed in this trilogy
I have my own review on my blog, as my opinions were extensive, but I adored it.
That’s really comforting to know…
I’ll have to read your review when I get home.
