LucasArts Embargoes "Clone Wars" Reviews
An anonymous reader writes "George Lucas CGI 'Clone Wars' movie has premiered to reviews ranging from MSNBC's 'Ugly animation and an uninspired storyline drag down the film' to AintItCool's 'I hated the film. HATED IT. REALLY HATED IT.' Critics have noted the animation style, music and slapstick humor had more than a passing similarity to Pixar's Toy Story, and wondered if the introduction of new action figures (sorry, characters) like Baby Jabba Hutt and Jabba the Hutt's Gay Uncle may have taken the franchise a bridge too far.
Lucas responding by enforcing an embargo, forcing the reviews to be taken down. While sites like AintItCool.com responded, by then it was just a little too late.
Still, the CGI eye candy will make it popular with kids. If the 'Clone Wars' movie can't save the galaxy, can it at least save the franchise?"
"Lucas responding by enforcing an embargo, forcing the reviews to be taken down."
"Lucas responding by?" How about "Lucas IS responding by?" Thank you, that will be $20 for doing your job for you, Taco.
P.S. - All of Obama's slogans are stolen:
"Yes we can!" or "si se puede!" - Stolen from Julio Caesar Chavez.
Themes of hope and change - stolen from Saul Alinsky.
"We are the people we have been waiting for." - this is my personal favorite. Not only is it stolen from that liberal free Mumia nut Alice Walker, but it doesn't even fucking make sense. It's just another sound byte fit for a bumper sticker.
Peado!
I never got the whole Jar-Jar hating. His character isn't that bad. Now, the young Anakin's character is very poorly-written but Jar Jar is okay. I'm not going to say I really like him but I certainly don't mind him.
