I will see it, but I am going to go to KC on 06/16th to see it.
How do you feel it will measure up to the original trilogy?
Better effects...Characters even more "cardboardy" .
What did you think of the Phantom Menace?
To quote Mr Cranky : "I believe the film school term is "sucks".
Do you think this film will be better/worse than Phantom Menace?
It has to be better. There is no conceivable way it can be worse.
I may be prejudiced against PM since I was literally knocked into a wall by a gigantic fanboy who had to run to try to be first into the theater to see that POS. And my favorite moment during the film was in the middle, when my DH leaned over and hissed in my ear,"Please tell me we didn't pay money to see the sci fi version of a Thin Red Line."
Actually, a comparision between PM and TRL is good : Two eagerly anticipated films that looked great in the previews, but which turned out to be long, slow, beautifully filmed bores. One was a pretentious bore, the other merely silly...Lovely eye candy, and that's about it.
