FILM REVIEW: Star Wars, Episode III
This film was not even good enough for me to attach a picture here.
When I saw Star Wars, Episode III, I felt a great pity for the young generation, and all the lack of talent surrounding the art they are exposed to. The writing was absolutely horrendous, especially the dialogue. Anakin's transformation to the dark side was completely stupid and unbelieveable, and
the emperor was weak and pathetic. Most of the movie consisted of light sabre duels, and the dialogue was purely functional, giving information rather than presenting human interaction and emotion. In fact, I don't think the dialogue is even copyrightable, because it lacks the requisite modicum of creativity.
George Lucase clearly lost his soul about 20 years ago, and he is now a really awful director. I've never directed a film before, but I am confident that I could make a better movie on my first try.
Watching Episode III made me feel as though the movie was made as part of a junior high school project, and then was sent it to post production to add all the special effects, before theatrical distribution. I can't imagine how a writer and director could be that unimaginative and lame.
