Whats the source?
I ask because it is unsigned and un-referenced and is compiled by some guy just "Lucky enough" to have a copy of the film slip into his lap? BULLSHIT!
It sounds awfully like a bit of Internet PR leading up to the films release, right down to the very obvious give aways like "The film is a little rough right now..." or refering to Lucas as a "...flanel wearing toy salesman..." intended to make it sound lagitimate and making it appeal to the disgruntled fans which they need to turn up on day one to make up door sales. They even go to the point of analysing the fan base (comments about how the audience has polarised into the faithful and the betrayed). All of this seems so deliberately put together, like some marketing executive had surveyed a bunch of people, figured out how they felt about the first film, then put together this document, anonymously releasing it on the internet for us to pick up, interpret as some form of "underground release", and change our minds about attendance.
I remember on "The Panel" (Great Australian talkback show) once when they were talking about those little film review snippets which come witht he advertising. Like for instance, Sony quoting reviewers which dont exist! This guy isnt an independant reviewer, he's a marketing executive stooge spreading pre-release propaganda. If you want a real review, wait for the sources you can trust, and ignore what was presented here.
