Author Topic: Star Wars - The Clone Wars John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-15-2008 12:30 AM                     To quote that annoying chick in the Mamma Mia trailer... OH...MY...GOD...!!! The final nail (wait...we're talking George here) in the once wonderful series' coffin. Words cannot describe how truly awful this film is so I'm not even going to try.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-15-2008 10:07 AM                     According to what I was told from an early screening, this seems to play well with 10 year old boys. Several in that age group really liked it.  |  IP: Logged Jonathon Miller Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Kallaroo, Western Australia, Australia Registered: Jul 2008 posted 08-16-2008 12:48 PM                     If that's true, I weep for the future. I introduced a fellow workmate to Ziro the Hutt today. Seriously, that character of questionably sexuality/gender with his limp southern accent and unpronounced "r"s makes me want to take a hammer to every piece of star wars merchandise i own. and considering i've got a hell of a vintage kenner collection, that's a lot. The past three movies were just boring. This one is truly atrocious. I wasn't expecting Pixar, but I wasn't prepared for Ziro the Hutt, Anakin's mall-punk Padawan, and the innumerable bits of garbage that this film contained. And yes, Samuel L Jackson and Christopher Lee have finally pissed on the once great careers they both had. And heck, Sam Jackson was in Snakes on a Plane, yet he just keeps sinking.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 08-16-2008 12:52 PM                     One of the only redeeming features of this film, is that it is relatively short. I feel sorry for the projectors, as I'm sure they are they only ones that stay to watch the whole thing.  |  IP: Logged Stu Jamieson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 524 From: Buccan, Qld, Australia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 08-17-2008 03:13 AM                     quote: Jonathon Miller I introduced a fellow workmate to Ziro the Hutt today.

Apparently, Lucas has tapped the show's writing staff to script his live-action Star Wars series. Is LOVE MY WAY worth checking out?  |  IP: Logged Louis Belloisy Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: morris, ct usa Registered: Jun 2006 posted 08-17-2008 11:37 AM                        "One of the only redeeming features of this film, is that it is relatively short.

Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-17-2008 08:37 PM                     Mike I've never heard of that show but according to IMDB it came out in 2004. I guess it has some people he met when he was here doing Episode 3? Frankly, after this abomination, I couldn't care less...he could get Mark Twain to script it (digitally resurrected of course) and I'd still not bother with it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-17-2008 11:10 PM                        quote: Boxofficeguru.com estimated $15.5M from 3,452 theaters for a moderate $4,492 average If it's that sucky, I'm glad they didn't bother to promote it much.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I was hoping to find it playing somewhere in Digital 3-D, but I couldn't seem to locate a location playing it in that format. Maybe it was wishful thinking. Anyways, after reading all the negative comments here - I went into yesterday expecting the worst. It should have been a direct to DVD release - or released on the Cartoon Network or something. It wasn't that great. My 9 year old loved it, but my other two kids feel asleep. I was not impressed - but it kept my interest. 1 out of 3 stars for this one.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-18-2008 12:53 PM                     quote: Dennis Benjamin I was hoping to find it playing somewhere in Digital 3-D, but I couldn't seem to locate a location playing it in that format.

Like I said in my post - it was wishful thinking. It would have made the film more worth it.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-18-2008 08:31 PM                       Okay, I'm officially an oldster. My 13 yr. old son had to explain most of who was who, and what was going on in this show, for me. I had a good time, however, watching this at the drive-in.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-19-2008 08:33 PM                        Entertainment Weekly gives this movie an "F" review...ouch!
