zehnwaters Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 *Shrugs* I guess it's mostly just a matter of opinion. I never said the acting was great, it wasn't, but I didn't feel that it was so horrible that it destroyed the movie for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Xan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 And how he trips over his vowels... I didn't think the acting was too bad in any of the movies. I thought the directing was terrible in the prequels though. Seriously, the way GL handles the Anakin/Padme thing in Episode 2 makes me cringe. Literally, I cringe and fast-forward through parts of the movie. Anakin manages to 'accidentally' destroy the Trade Federation mothership in Episode 1? Ok, if you have to have him do it, you could pull it off more realistically then how he did. Need I even mention Episode 1's Jar Jar? Talk about dumbing the movie down for 5 yr olds. Some of the lines from Episode 3 were terrible as well, and it wasn't the fault of any actor. The lines were just written horribly.

DarthTofu Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yeah, some of them were the fault of the actor...

Aenivae_Ikeda Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You can blame the lines, but in the original trilogy there are cases when the actors bashed Lucas for the bad lines and forced him to let them say different things because they knew that the bad lines were destroying their characters... So yeah, none of that with the prequel actors... But whatever.

So yeah, none of that with the prequel actors... But whatever. I recall hearing that on a few of the inside star wars specials. Harrison Ford twisted around a good portion of his dialogue. Lucas had a pretty good story and drove special effect elements in the original triology, but he was never much of a screenwright. If it wasn't for Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg the Indiana Jones saga would have been filled with horrible dialogues as well. Part of the reason for the failure of the prequel trilogy are the weak actors, and those inexperienced enough to compensate for a crappy director. Even with a strong character personality as Samuel L. Jackson he didn't shine through in this movie in any regard. He was swallowed up by bad lines and poor performances. Lucas failed because he had too many digital characters, ie... all the conversations of actors with yoda... none of them knew really where to look or how to convey thought or emotion, they just stared off and read their lines. George could have borrowed a lesson from Peter Jackson here. As the actors in the Lord of the Rings trilogy interacted with Gollum, the actor played him in live action shots, and was then digitally replaced by the special fx crew.

But the dialogue? *Slaps GL in the back of the head.* It isn't THX 1138 that we're thying to film here! It's Indiana Jones for christ sake!

DarthTofu Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 For Christ sake? So they were working on "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", then... Oh, and you better fix that post before Scath shows up to BEAK it... You see, the issue with having Peter Jackson show up and help with the movie is that it would have improved it drastically- George can't have this. See, its part of this huge conspiracy in which we all, in hating the movies, discuss them more, giving them more fame than they would have had if they were good! 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The problem with this conspiracy theory is GL is barely competent enough to direct a movie let alone orchestrate a global conspiracy on the scale your suggesting.
