Star Wars Episode 3

Well, I went to see Start Wars Episode 3 last night. cant say it moved me that much. In my opinion it was "polyfiller" that didnt quite fill all the gaps.

The film looked beautiful, magnificent backdrops and guafy colours. Detailed fight scenes and amazing CG. However the fight scenes were overblown in my opinion. The space fights in particular were way too hectic.

Ewan MacGeregor's acting was truly awful. I cant remember seeing him act so badly. He was trying to take Harrison Ford's one liners, but he failed miserably. Trying to inject comedy into the film didn't seem as natural as in the Prequels.

Plot holes were gaping too. In "A New Hope"...Ben Kenobi doesnt recognise the droids, even thought they have been with him for 3 films????

Also he seems to completely have forgotten about Leah...even though he was there at her birth? Ben said to me that he heard Chewbacca was a female...the film does somewhat suggest this through use of costume...but this page from the actor sorts all that out.

I'm keen to know what you all think.

Perhaps it's just my age , but I'd rather have the first three films anyday. I will just add though, the new remastered on DVD 1st three films are a triumph. I have the remastered ones on VHS and they aint a patch on the DVD version which have been sharpend up again and added sound and colour. On ly thing I dont like is they have cut bits out...like the millenium Falcon being unreliable and ...the subtitles for greedo and Jabba.

Guesss I'm a purist.
