At first, admittedly I was scared. Well, scared is a strong term-cautious is a better term to describe my attitude toward the film upon hearing it was an animation rather than a live action film. However my cautious stance transformed to joy as I was very pleased with the film. This is classic star wars, with a strong emphasis on politics and military strategy. From the beginning of the film there was tons of action that was showcased through very good computer graphics animation with the mechanical characters being depicted better than the human characters. Their was no real buzz about this film, possibly because it was animated, but being a star wars fan I had to go see it.
The story was awesome. The plot was clear, and the story did not deviate from the plot. From its beginning the plot was introduced briefly and the story supported the plot well forwardly in the film. The content of the story and the plot was not watered down as my cautious stance was leading me to anticipate. In regards to one of the technical aspects of the film, the voices of the main characters were really good. For example, Catherine Taber as Padme Amidala, sounded similar to Natalie Portman. According to Metacritic.com the filmed received generally bad reviews, and according to Rottentomatoes.com the film received 21 fresh tomatoes to 92 rotten ones. I disagree with the bad reviews. This film fits between an A- and a B+. Stay tuned, movieporium.blogspot.com.
