Comments on: The Phantom Menace in 3D https://www.robohara.com/?p=4294 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:13:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Brian Hanifin https://www.robohara.com/?p=4294#comment-3393 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:13:15 +0000 http://www.robohara.com/?p=4294#comment-3393 Thanks for the review. Just as I suspected it sounds like the “3D” wasn’t very good being shoe horned in as an afterthought.

I have shown my almost 6 year old son Episodes 4-6, then Episode 1. But after watching Episode 2 recently I am hesitant to show it to him primarily because of the scene where his mom dies and he kills everyone. I am very torn on that decision. I so want to share the last two movies with him.

When you look back, you realize how much Lucas was trying to force in the links with the original trilogy (to be frank, I still have issues with the back story of C3PO and R2D2 in relation to the original Star Wars movie; wouldn’t Obi-Wan have even a flicker of recognition at the sight of R2, at least commenting how he once had a little droid like him?). The quality of the acting is also quite varied; Jake Lloyd screams more than he speaks his lines, and Ewan McGregor (who I adore as an actor) seems ill at ease trying to constantly imitate Alec Guinness’ accent. On the other hand, Ian McDiarmid and Natalie Portman somewhat compensate for their colleagues.

3D effects just don’t work with me, and the dark image in 3D is starting to grate me; couldn’t they raise the brightness of the film so that it doesn’t look as dark? And Eric also fell asleep during the non-action scenes; maybe it wasn’t the best choice for his first viewing of a Star Wars movie (aside from seeing bits and parts here and there).

Personally, the music kept bringing me back to all this time spent playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Lego Star Wars… :P And Jar-Jar Binks is as annoying as ever.
