Let me start this post by saying I fucking hate George Lucas!!! That should set the tone. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet. Let me just say that the story, what there was of it, was uneven and poorly told. We all know that Anikin becomes Darth Vader and Padme is the mother of Luke & Leia. It's how we get there that is the interesting part. That's why I wanted to see this movie. The problem was, Lucas wrote himself into a corner with the crap that he put out for the first two movies, and then needed to tie it all up with this one. There was just too much disparity between the story we all grew up with and the new movies. There were some cool battle sequences. But between them was too little story. You find people on all sorts of planets for no clear reason. Characters are introduced, but then nothing is done with them. Fucking Chewbacca was in it and he didn't have anything to do. It was a waste. One of the funny things is I really wanted to like this one. I was really looking forward to each of the films and was disappointed again and again. After the initial positive reviews, I thought, okay he's going to redeem himself and fix things. I was expecting way too much. I was disappointed yet again. |
