review

gonna be sensible!

Said I'd do this, so I'd better.

Why?

Dunno.

Anyway:

Star Wars fillum. Ewan McGregor succeeds in destroying completely any remaining kudos that the great Alec Guiness brought to the role of the mystical Obi Wan and his false public-schoolboy Dickie Attenborough accent bugged me more than usual. Stick to being a Jock, m8.

Dialogue at times made me cringe, special effects now am to I immune so they passed me by and
the other "characters", as faceless as Natalie Portman is stacked (or more, even) were so interesting I felt as numb as my bum (which gets that way kinda quick - is that a health consideration?).

The attempts to include the audience with banter between these characters for whom I, for my part, felt no empathy whatsoever was facile and even the lightsaber battles have been outdone by Kotor - the first one, not the lame-ass, cheating half-completed second one.

So that left Yoda - never got him and still don't and the bloke with the six-pack for the laydeez - who was better than the other film in that at least he had splinters.

The most exciting thing that happened was that I burnt my tongue on a hot dog cause I was trying to eat two at once.

The original was better than this, but I don't think the film deserved it. Still, at least now I've seen them all.
