Fanboys: I have a bad feeling about this?
Feb. 5th, 2009 08:30 pmIt's too long to repost all over again (I'm in a lazy mood tonight) but I posted my concerns over at SWPAS (see linky in the bar above my posts to the Star Wars Prequel Appreciation Society site). In summary:
1. I'm afraid it's a fictional version of Trekkies
2. Is it a backhand slap at the PT and all that came after it? The director seems okay but of course some of the film's stars cheerfully spout the "it's a disappointment" line in an interview and I'm aware of a joke in the film that turns on the audience believing TPM is a bad movie.
Not that I plan to drive two hours to L.A. to see this and I probably will see it on DVD or something at some point in life. But what a buzz kill. Pfft.
Update: Read some reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Mostly negative but it seems to me part of it is because subculture type movies tend to lose people outside of that subculture. And of course it's a nice opportunity to dump some more on the PT.
