Ebert Gives 'Sith' Positive Review

emerald demon writes "The world's authority on reviewing movies, Roger Ebert, has released his review of "Star Wars--Episode III: Revenge of the Sith." I noticed that Ebert & Roeper gave it a two thumbs up, but I assumed that Ebert was going to go for the minimum for giving his thumb up--two and a half stars. I was delighted to read his three and a half starred review. It seemed like he let a few things slip, but it's obvious that he enjoyed it. '"Episode III" has more action per square minute, I'd guess, than any of the previous five movies, and it is spectacular.' Bad dialogue as usual: 'To say that George Lucas cannot write a love scene is an understatement; greeting cards have expressed more passion.'"

Uh....

Not to knock unions or guilds or anything, but if they're going to be that restrictive on certain levels (especially for something as silly as "you didn't give direction credit at the BEGINNING and instead put it at the END") isn't it just a case of driving away the more talented of their members? I mean, if Spielberg and Lucas aren't part of the guild, and they want to make some movies....... It's not really a matter of finding directors to work with them, I wouldn't think... Rodriguez? If you're kicking out your best members left and right for not paying extensive lip service to the rules, you deserve what's going to come to you.

I hear Rodriguez' recent movie was really good, and I've liked his other work in the past..... I'm not going to be on the Director's Guild's side on this one because he credited someone. Bitch about money. Don't complain that someone credited someone else or didn't in a way you didn't like.
