Hmmm...Where should I start ? I loved this movie,from beginning to end.I cherished every moment of it.I mean,it gives the word "eye candy" a new meaning.WOW ! Good ol' Lucas took the common CGI and raised it to a whole new level.Every effect was perfect beyond words,all the characters (like Watoo,well,everyone likes Watoo,right?) were simply-alive ! I adored Dex (you know,that ugly four-headed bartender) and cute lil' Yoda never looked this good.The battle scenes took my breath away ! The acting was also great,and even though AOTC has more FX than all the other SW movies put together,there's still enough character development to make us feel for the heroes.BTW,Hayden Christensen is sooo handsome...There,I had to say it.
Although the movie lacked the token "scary bad guy" (count Dooku didn't look too menacing),I didn't miss that for a sec,since AOTC had basically "everything" else-and much more.It was nice to see Yoda in action (finally!) and the arena fight contains a special treat for all StarCraft players ; the crab-like mean creature is based on the Brood War siege unit the Lurker ! I missed it's subterranean spine attack though.
After TPM,which might have disappointed some hardcore SW fans (but not me) this addition to the Saga delivers all the usual SW goodies,and so much more...A beautiful love story,for example.Did I mention the mind-blowing visuals yet ? |
