| stof said: Twesterm - that review had a lot right, though it was damn hard to get through his annoying voice and really stupid "I'm a phsycho" jokes. How are people honestly saying "Revenge of the Sith" was their favourite movie!? Are you that easily impressed by exploding CGI? |
yes.
I just can't help laughing when I see how badly unrealistic most of the effects in the original movies (or any sci-fi movie from this period) are. For better or for worse, this takes away from my ability to be pulled into the movie by constantly shoving the fact that it is just a movie into my face (something I don't get so much with III and not at all with newer films like Avatar).
However, that being said, I like it the best by a very small margin. IV was great ("yes, I bet you have...". BLAM 
) and V was pretty good though it had a few scenes that I didn't like. VI was just weird except for the scenes with Luke and Vader and the Emperor (I fucking hate Ackbar and his monkey sidekick and those godd*mn fuzzy teddy bear ewoks). I and II are also ass because they have no story (that review twesterm posted was awesome) and their special effects are even worse than the ones in the 80s movies. At least those look real (because they are real) even if they fall laughably short of accurately protraying what they are supposed to be, unlike the ass CGI in those movies that doesn't even look real at all let alone like what it is supposed to be.
I do concede that III's story wasn't very good and the dialogue was just terrible, but the decent CGI makes up for it in my graphics-whore eyes.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
