Darth Groovy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 There is no Clone Wars thread in the swamp. If there was, please link me? Any of you see this movie? No? Too kid oriented for you? I saw it last night. Not as good as Clone Wars Volume 2, but kind of fun to watch for the digital effects. I give it about 65% for excellent digital effects, yet less than average story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Strange, I thought the exact same thing earlier today. I haven't seen it yet, and I'm not particularly excited to be honest. Genndy didn't do it and I'm not really a fan of the style. I think the original clone wars series was a lot better than this looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I can't talk about the Clone Wars movie without flying into a fit of rage. It was beyond awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I kind of wanted to see it, but then I decided I wouldn't because I didn't want it to completely ruin Star Wars for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I thought it was alright. The exaggerated CG animation didn't bother me. I'm just glad Palpatine doesn't look like a cabbage anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah I thought it was alright. I thought the style was alright, but there definitely were some negatives. Asoka, the battle droid slapstick comedy, pretty much all of Padme's parts, and some other stuff. A few times I had to remind myself that it is a kids-oriented movie. But I will still watch the series when it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I hate the term "kids movie." It gives people an excuse to brand a cheap form of entertainment that's not actually that good. A truly good kids movie is one that appeals to everyone, and doesn't resort to cheap flare and exaggerated (but empty) emotions. If the emotions elicited by the film are genuine, and the entertainment really is entertaining, there's no reason a movie shouldn't appeal to everyone. I don't believe there's some mystic "kids" quality that's lost with age and only kids can appreciate, they probably just have a higher threshold for crappy entertainment. And chances are, if you enjoy it the kids enjoy it even more, and it'll leave a lasting impression on them, like all of those things you remember watching as a kid - and probably still watch and enjoy today (like Star Wars).

GeneralPloKoon Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I didn't hate Clone Wars, it was kidlike, but it did have some great moments, I thought in the last 30 minutes it got really good. Ashoka was VERy annoying as in I hate her more than Jar JAr Binks! It was a decent movie. 7.5/10. I'll be watching the series on Ocotber 3rd.

Lady Jedi Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 And now we know what Rhett does in his man room. You think you want to know. You may even think that you know. Let me assure you: You Do Not Want To Know. As for clone wars, I have had zero interest in seeing it. The trailers just didn't engage me whatsoever.

Darth Groovy Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 YOU IDIOT HOW DARE YOU TOLERATE IT :| I been recording this new series on my DVR and am having a very hard time liking it. There are some positive things. Star Wars has come full circle with George Lucas' original intentions. Star Wars is now almost exactly like the original old Buck Rogers serials in old silver cinima, right down to the cheesy narations before the film. The animation is top notch. The biggest downfall is that the characters are less than likeable. They are cartoonish and just downright stupid. Great for kids. Painfull for adults. I hate where Star Wars is headed. It's now all about the damn kids, and the Hell with the old fans. Really sucks bad. Hopefully the live action TV show won't be as bad as The Clone Wars. Else we are screwed.
