Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolfspider" data-source="post: 96144" data-attributes="member: 300">I'm reacting to the trailer that premiered about an hour ago on Fox.  They had been showing ads for it all over television for the past week. Not at all!  I was just percolating a bit, that's all.The special effects, while obviously good in a technical sense, were overwhelming and confusing, which is not good in an artistic sense.  Everything seemed CGI.  (And everything probably was.  It was especially evident that Yoda was CGI--and that's not a good thing.)  It was so crowded and busy on the screen throughout the trailer that I couldn't really tell what was going on.The dialogue, like the dialogue in Episode I, was stilted and badly delivered.  (I presume this has something to do with the fact that the actors are frequently performing in front of blue screens.  I know this was a problem with Ep. I.)  Yoda's pronouncement that the clone war had sounded ridiculous, and NOT because of his inverted grammar.  It was obviously meant to impress, but it didn't impress me.The trailer didn't thrill me or give me shivers.  It didn't engender any kind of emotion in me at all, actually.  No, it didn't BORE me, but I would have thought that it would have at least made me "nipply" like good trailers tend to do. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />That's all for now.  More later...maybe.I have to dogde some blaster fire now....</blockquote>
