Mike had screening passes for Star Wars Episode III, which was neat because I got to see it two full weeks before it comes out. I went into this not expecting much, after seeing the first two. I will state this now, George Lucas is dead to me, he was slowly dieing until I bought the original trilogy on DVD and it had the computer animation in it, then he died. This movie was entertainment, little more. It did not try to be a 'The Matrix' and re-explain life for suckers to suck up. George Lucas in some ways did not learn his lesson from the last two though. He did not learn that we do not go to Star Wars for politics, and we don't go to Star Wars for love stories? And it was this ignorance of his that made for some really long and drawn out parts of the film. CGI does not impress me, and as you probably are all aware that's all this movie was. Massive amounts of CGI. I much prefer a beautifully constructed model some artisan spent months on over something made in a computer. The mixing of the audio was quite good on the other hand. Things would come from all directions around you, which shows that perhaps Hollywood is learning that not everyone is def in one ear. Remember the commercials for the increadable hulk where you never saw the hulk on the ground, he was always flying through the air. It was a very similar experience with the computer generated Wookies in this movie. When will Hollywood learn that some people do have a natural sense of physics, and are not fooled by this. Anakin going over to the dark side was far too freaking easy, Senator said come to the dark side, he said no, he said come to the dark side, Anakin said all right, then Anakin goes and kills a herd of children.(I'm not making this up) Then the senator wants to overthrow the council, he goes and says, "I should be supreme ruler, this Republic should be an Empire" and the council was like "Alright, we never really liked democracy any way." Oh, and the worst part of all, Obi-Wan Kenobi spends a third of the movie riding a giant salamander on an ant planet... Overall, I give it a 6/10... I mean had they used models and elaborate sets instead of cheesy CGI (especially the lava part) it almost could have earned an 8, I meen the plot wasn't too bad (unlike the last two, can anyone even tell me what the last two were about?) and it was entertaining. To summarize, the sound was great, the CGI overused, and boring parts long and drawn out.
