The New Star Wars Movies

Here's my beef this week. I was watching Star Wars Episode 4 this past week and it got me thinking about the Star Wars movies they came out with recently. I am a big Star Wars fan just as the next person and I was very excited to see the new Star Wars movies beginning with The Phantom Menace. I even camped out at a movie theater over night so I could get tickets to see it opening day. I was very disappointed in all three of the movies that they came out with. They focused too much on the special effects than creating the story and having good character development. The acting and the dialog in those movies were horrible and cheesy. There was no chemistry between Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman which didn't help the movie's lack of story. The special effects in the newer movies were more advanced than the special effects in the older ones even though the older movies were to take place after the newer ones. I think they should have filmed it like they did the older movies and use special effects only when you have to. I also think that George Lucas should have stopped directing after The Phantom Menace and let someone that's a better director direct the remaining two.You might think that's mean of me to say. All I have to say to you is "remember Jar Jar Binks. Need I say more" I love the old series of Star Wars because the story is well written, and the characters are well developed and the special effects help tell the story not be the story. It will remain in my top favorite movies of all time. I will not buy the newer Star Wars Trilogy and If I'm looking for some crappy movies to watch I'll borrow them from my brother.
