Attack of the moans
Haven't seen the movie yet and won't for a few weeks but I've read a lot of reviews (amateur and professional) and I have a few comments.
(ahem).
First, it doesn't matter how good or even how bad this chapter is, it will make hundreds of millions. The last Star Wars movie was universally panned by both fans and critics and yet it managed to make 450 million dollars. Go figure.
It's entertainment, folks, not a documentary or a heavy drama. George Lucas isn't trying to change the world, just make a movie, have fun and make money. Candy for the mind but you have to think just enough to make it interesting.
Finally; most all the actors spend months playing to a blue screen and fighting imaginary bad guys, swishing light-swords through the air at nothing. This tends to make 'acting' difficult and the less than stellar performances some of the actors deliver are to be expected.
I'll see it when the crowds die off and enjoy it because I don't expect anything more than to be entertained, which I'm certain I will be.
