In Reply to: Without a doubt, the best Star Wars film so far. posted by john dem on May 15, 2002 at 16:38:39:
The fantasy film with emotion, moral weight, characterisation and...special effects that actually SERVE the story? The movie that didn't dumb down to an 11 year old level?Oh, yeah, right...that wasn't what I saw last night...I saw something called AOTC: very cool FX, a lame plot, an awkward love story and some of the most inane dialog ever written for the cinema. (Harrison Ford had it right 25 years ago: "George, you can type this shit but you can't SAY it.") I thought for a minute I might've wandered into Gladiator, but then Saruman was saying something about how Obi-Wan had to join with him and I kept searching the screen for a Palantir.
I think I was entertained. I'm not sure. I knew I was gonna see it anyway out of (misplaced) loyalty. Thinking back (less than 24 hours ago) I seem to recall that I was very pleased by the nice turns of the British thesps (McGregor, McDiarmid, Lee) and it was WAY cool to see the Maori actor from Once Were Warriors playing Bobba Fett's dad...offed in Episode 2, alas.
OTOH, I did actually meet a person who claims Bobba Fett is his favorite Star Wars character. And AOTC is better than TPM, although I realise that is certainly damning with faint praise. So I guess AOTC was worth the price of a ticket. At least I can gripe with conviction.
