Early Reviews Say New Star Wars Is The Shit

Yes, you read that correctly. THE shit as apposed to just plain shit. CBS has an article that points out the overall vibe of the early reviews of the latest Star Wars flick, Revenge Of The Sith. Apparantly, it doesn’t suck monkey balls like the past two movies:

Daily Variety writer Todd McCarthy says the film is “Entertaining from start to finish and even enthralling at times.” He singled out actor Ian McDiarmid, who plays the head of the galactic government, for extra praise.

McCarthy also showered praise on the computer effects. “The technical achievement here is on such a high level that one is lulled into taking it for granted,” he wrote.

Writing in the Hollywood Reporter, Kirk Honeycutt had some misgivings about the acting. “Yet in the face of the epic grandeur of the film’s design and action, these are mere quibbles,” he adds.

According to Honeycutt, “the robot R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) delivers brilliant comic action. This holds true throughout the new film as writer-director Lucas does a much better job of interweaving comedy with the dramatic and even tragic.”

Time magazine’s Richard Corliss says that Lucas connects the new prequel trilogy to the original three films with “origami elegance.” Revenge of the Sith “shows Lucas storming back as a prime confector of popular art.”

While I have to see this for myself I hope to God Almighty that this is better than the Phantom Menace or those gay ass running around the fields scenes of Attack Of The Clones. At least the title is MUCH better than part II. Let’s all hope that this will be a worthy end to the series and George Lucas croaks (not before his time of course) before he can further “improve” the Star Wars universe.
