Its funny... Everyone walked out of that theatre totally forgetting what made the "star wars" series what it has become: a quirky cultural icon that appealed to generations on multi leveled platforms and continues to go strong. Even though many people just bought into the hype, talking to their friends in conversations that had that hinge of desperation in their voice, that they really felt _obligated_ wanting to like it so badly, so they did. "George Lucas can do no wrong" should be running through our pop culture like acid in our drinking water for a few years now, considering there are two more sequels on the way.. and I wouldnt be so afraid of these sequels if "lucasfilm" was more aware of the very large mistakes they made in the overall discomfort and blandness of TPM.. It seems they seem to be under the disillusion they made a film worthy of the labeling of both themselves and the general public of being "loved" or the like. When someone is overly critical of the smaller facts like that the character development was almost non existant, that what would have been good minor characters like Jar Jar Binks (I should not even have said that now everyone will think I'm one of _those_ bandwagon type jumpers) would have made great smaller appearances but were left to carry the weight of a main character, where other characters like- lets say Darth Maul, were left with only a few lines and some elaborately choreographed fight scenes...There was little conflict of interest in the film, there was little of much of anything interesting at all. Just a lot of most likely abusively expensive special effects work and a soundtrack fine tuned to sound great when hooked up to the proper theatre system, or better yet, the comfort of your own home..
I did not like this film, I did not hate it. But It seems I'm on the side of those wasckly critics who have been bombarded by the fans, for bombarding the movie with what? Opinions, people. Get over it. I know I have.
Oh and throw your television and radio out the window. Lets go out and live..
