Star Wars Episode III
Well, we saw it. And we saw it hours before anyone in the US because we were in New Zealand for the opening on May 19.
It does what it promised: Show how Anakin transforms into the evil Lord Vader, and set the stage for Episode IV. But it sure doesn't deliver the potential it could have. Then again, neither did Episodes I or II. They were well produced, stylish and definitely "in" the Star Wars world.
But they lacked the spirit and roughness of the first three movies. The new Episodes are just too clean, scripted like a high school play, and, especially in Ep III, too grandiose. It's like watching an opera, not a movie. Pretty to look at, but just not fun. My apology to opera fans out there.
Rumor has it that Lucas is preparing a TV series based on Star Wars. And he's planning to remake the entire set of movies (again!), this time in 3D.
