The Sith that Sucks

Last night I stood in line with Max, Shaun and Ruth to see the new Star Wars. We purposely ate dinner early enough to afford an hour standing in line for the movie. You can imagine my shock and surprise when we arrived that early to find a huge crowd already sitting and waiting. People were reading magazines, eating food and having conversations on their cell phone. Shaun was kind enough to point out, 'These are all people who don't have intercourse.'

After finally making it into the theatre, we were shocked to see that the screen was this humungous IMAX screen, at least 80 feet high it seemed. And that large crowd we shuffled in with, seemed rather small in comparison to the huge megatron theatre.

At this point I was pumped. We'd just eaten a yummy sushi dinner, and were now sipping on sodas and eating candy. Unhealthy, I know - but come on people ITS THE MOVIES!!

I started to feel weary when all the trailers sucked (except for Batman), they didn't include the new Harry Potter and instead I got to watch a preview for the Wedding Crashers. (yeah - that looks like quality...)

So here is a summary of the film in 10 thoughtful points:

1. Amazing costumes
2. awesome set design
3. excellent technical wizardry
4. really cool new creatures from other places
5. really scary bad guys
6. terrible acting from Portman and Christensen
7. horrible dialog in general
8. thumbs up to Ewan McGregor and Yoda for stealing the show
9. not as much 'heart' as the original 3
10. overall, i give it a 6 out of 10
