PEOPLE GET OVER IT!!!

A New Hope was great! Empire makes no sense now. Vader talks to the Emperor and the Emporer says "The son of Anakin Skywalker. is a threat. Well if her is talking to Anakin, why not say "your son is a problem!". Plot is important. Lucas may not think so but I strongly believe in it. Before, the Emeror did not know Vader was his father, That's why he sent him to get Luke. If he knew then why would you take the chance and send out dadio to kill/getr his son. It's just stupid. He would have sent someone else. It is rediculous. I can't believe he did that.

Jedi has a different ending. Young Annie shows up instead of Vader. Imagine if in every ghost movie if all the ghosts came back 30 odd years younger. The sixth sence for example. Bruce Willis really does not give a hoot about the young boy who can see dead people because he can't figure out why he is in his 20s after getting shot. He wanters around thinking he was shot by the bullet of youth. Lucas is slowly going mad I think and has lost all desire to make plot consistent in his movies. I got the set and later purchased a bootleg of Empire & Jedi from the earlier Special Edition. I recommend the same to all. George may think he can make us drink poo if he mixes it in with a milkshake but fans like me can taste the difference.

snooze...

When I sat down to watch Attack of the clones,I was hoping it would restored my faith in George Lucas and the Star Wars series. Unfortunately, it was not to be. This is worse then the Phantom Menace. The acting is dreadful. Most of them are spouting off philosophical lines like there got sticks up there butts. Ewan McGregor is so boring as Obi-wan. Hayden Christensen is terrible, he wines so much it's hard to believe this is the future Darth Vader. Natalie Portman is still wooden. The Jedi are idiots and deserve what they get. I was cringing throughout the romantic scenes. This movie is boring and has no soul. George Lucas cannot write or direct, his dialogue is cheesy and the action scenes are a mess, take the lightsaber fight scene between Yoda and Dooku, showing Yoda bouncing around like a soccer ball was so ridiculous I was laughing. Lucas, get someone else to direct the next movie and maybe then will see a good prequel.

A highly criticized good movie

So you've heard that this film was aimed at children and childish, as if the original three didn't appeal to the child, as if it were a movie for adults. And you've heard Jar-Jar is annoying and stupid, as if the original Star Wars didn't paint C-3PO as annoying and Chewbacca as a hairy imbecile. (Chewbacca wasn't developed as a character with character until the second two films.) And you've heard that The Phantom Menace has bad acting and cliches, as if the original three didn't have bad acting or cliches. If you ask the average watcher of the film, rather than the comic book crowd (with their typical "Worst Episode Ever" elitist chant), you'll find that it was highly successful film filled with fun and adventure and suspense. The slow and thoughtful dialogue is the same caliber as the original film, and much better in consistent style and moralistic formalism than most of the films of the same genre released today. In sum, The Phantom Menace is an above-average enjoyable movie. The cultural tone of analysis has changed to negativism and "grown up" intellectualism, but the film remains a valuable and worthwhile video for any collection.

Breathtaking DVD transfer - 5 Stars, Movie - 3 Stars

I reluctantly went to a local theatre last summer to see Star Wars ep.2, Attack of the clones. Not that I'm a Star Wars hater. I have too much things to do to start a new career as a "passionate-movies-hater". Still, I went reluctantly because, I had some memories of the bad feelings I got from the previous instalment in Mr. Lucas' space opera. You might think that someone with low expectations will be easier to please. At least, that's what I thought before I went to see this movie which is not only exceedingly too long but also pathetic in its absence of a decent storyline.We all know the first Star Wars trilogy and the immense popularity these movie got from a nice combination of good story-telling, lovable character, interesting special effects and exotic locals.This film has nothing to do with it. It's more like a videogame-like oriented series of episode where no tie is necessary between story elements. As long as you can show lots of action scenes (that get boring since they're way too long), there's no reason to get a plot in the way. Still, I noticed that Lucasfilm tried to patch the problems they had with episode 1 in this one. One of the way, they thought was to bring back popular characters form the first trilogy in this one like Boba Fett. How to make Boba fit nicely into the storyline seemed like too much of a job for the scribes thought. I noticed they also tried to give a “darker” and more “adult” tone to the film. Still, it is done so broadly that it becomes evident that this is an obligatory constraint they received. This also gets in the way of pure enjoyment. Had they tried to construct a strong story instead of showing their visual gadgetry, it could have been different.It's sad to see such great performers as Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee and poor puppeteer Frank Oz (who's getting reduced to a simple voice acting role here) trying to work in this mess Hollywood calls a movie.Now, the DVD may look “cool” as a standard Star Wars aficionado would say. But it’s mostly another “all bells and whistles” kind of disc. You know… the ones where you don’t get any interesting facts: Just people saying how cool it was that they could do this or that with their computers, a lot of “deleted scenes” that were created especially for the DVD so you cannot really say that they were ever deleted and a lot of TV adds and movie trailers to give you the impression there’s a load of stuff on the disc. Please Mr DVD producer cut on the sugar and give us more meat next time.Another thing that annoys me is people claiming this is great because it’s the first live-action movie directly transferred from digital source to digital output. So what? If the movie was at least an interesting one, I would be glad for it. Here, it looks like they did it so they would be the first ones to do it no matter what they showed. But I wouldn’t want to sound too harsh and I want to say there is a little good in this movie. Sadly, nothing comes to mind when I try to say anything nice about it.
