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.'"

My problem with the movie

[callipygian-showsyst]

Here's my problem with the movie (as seen in the LA preview yesterday):

You should be able to see epsiode 3 followed by episode 4 and have it not look like you're jumping from 2005 filmmaking technology to 1977 era special effects.

What would have been cool would be to slowly shift the look over the course of III back to 1977 filmmaking technology. Do it gradually so it's not jarring. Then if you watch the films back-to-back it would look better.

Of course, if George wanted my opinion, he'd ask me!
