Episode Three

I suppose I should get this out of the way.

We went to see Star Wars Episode Three last night.

So that's 140 minutes of my life I'm never getting back.

What a load of crap. Apart from the special effects, which were absolutely outstanding, I can't remember the last time I felt a trip to the cinema was so wasted. I almost fell asleep at a couple of points, and okay so I was tired, but that shouldn't have happened in a Star Wars film!

What was so bad?

The plot.

The direction.

The characterisation.

The acting (almost to a man and a woman but especially Hayden C).

The unbelievable waste of Natalie Portman.

The plot.

The dialogue ("He's been deceived by a lie!").

The shallow contrivance masquerading as sophisticated political intrigue (again).

"Nooooooooo!!!!!!"

Can't help but agree. Saw it at the weekend and although the enjoyment was coloured by already knowing how it was going to end, much of what you say is unfortunately true.
