I just have to comment on Star Wars.....and before anyone hates on me, just understand that I have been a devoted fan since I was 3....I wanted to BE Luke Skywalker so bad I could taste it....
But....
This last movie was so terribly awful that it actually frightened me. Frightened me in the way that someone could put such horrendous acting and plotlines up on the screen and people ate it up like it was their last meal. I mean, thats what it has come to.....people will watch it because its Star Wars, and not because it has any redeeming value as a film whatsoever.
I mean, the acting was sooooooo bad. Even Natalie Portman seemed like she was getting a high colonic in most scenes. I almost walked out in the first 10 minutes of the show.
And all that cavalier bantering in the midst of high violence between OB and Anakin was just excessive.....
"Oh look Master, you have a 12 inch metal rod jutting from your eye socket."
"I think you may have been right Anakin, this could be more trouble than we anticipated..." (smug smirking creates jiggling in the metal rod)
I know they are unflappable Jedis and all....but I dont care who you are....when you have 75 beams of laser rifle fire coming at you from all directions....not only is it highly improbable that you will be able to deflect them all with your light saber....but you may just break a sweat. Oh and, I am glad they spared Ewan McGregor from having any hideously twisted limbs and all...but when 50 tons of steel fall down onto your legs....you are going to at least break a nail, or mess up your hair. I say if Anakin can slaughter a bunch of kids...then OB can deal with a broken leg or three.
I do have to give credit to Darth Sidious though....he actually made it seemed like he gave a shit about making the movie dramatic and interesting. He growled and hissed and spit alot.
