I may have complaints against the film, but "it's bad because it totally looks like it was made in 1999 instead of 1977" is a ludicrous argument (though I have to say the "tinker toys" remark sets me off the wrong way).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />(mind you, I think there are cases to be made in how CGI has been badly overused in place of better and more creative effects and that CGI has a lot of negative impact in how films are made nowadays, but that's an argument that in no way is constrained to Star Wars specifically).T.

Which is odd because there's plenty of other films where that kind of thing doesn't bother me. I guess I can't really complain (and note that I don't hold it against the overall quality of the film, just how it struck me).The Nilboghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902509798047158212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543195171933661664.post-26071790037233315802013-03-28T22:24:01.979-04:002013-03-28T22:24:01.979-04:00I know this if off-topic but I want to ask this: A...I know this if off-topic but I want to ask this: Adam could you *PLEASE* do a rebuttal article on the "there is too much CGI in the Prequel Trilogy" argument and explain why that argument is a complete load?<br /><br />I have seen this argument present virtually EVERY website on the net and they are all done by irrational hateboys who believe a Star Wars movie should only be done with tinker toys and not with the most advanced technologies we have in film-making today.<br /><br />Hateboys will gladly praise the CGI in films like Avatar or Lord of the Rings but bash it in Star Wars. It's double standard I tell ya!<br /><br />Please do this article! All your other papers have been great so far!

It's never even hinted at in the film"<br /><br />I believe the implication is that they're enacting revenge on being persecuted and caged up by humans for so long (hence the bird shop at the beginning).<br /><br />In all honesty though I was never really bothered by a direct lack of explanation because I never really felt it was necessary..."birds going crazy" was the premise we were asked to accept at the beginning of the film, and that's what they gave us. For some reason I never felt an explanation was fully necessary.T. Hartwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602995118108914316noreply@blogger.com
