Gaffer Tape said:I didn't really attempt to carry this as far as I wanted to in my previous post, but I think it is worth discussing. While Clone Wars has gotten nearly universally bad reviews, most of them can't seem to agree on why it's bad. I tend to agree with a lot of the general views that have already been expressed here about movie reviews: that you can't rely on them to match your opinion or even be more than that one person's opinion, but if a lot of them all say the same thing, then it's probably something to take with a little more value. So does the fact that, while all the reviews are bad, but hardly any can agree on exactly why, lend credence to the opinion that it's "bad" or do the wildly different specifics serve to slightly invalidate that? Of course, I'll need some help from those who have actually seen it, since I can't really contribute much beyond this observation.
I don't know, I read most of those reviews and they all seemed to have the same criticisms:
The animation looks ugly/cheap/wooden
The dialogue is poorly written and juvenile
The new characters are uninteresting and/or annoying
The battles are boring and too long
Jabba the Hutt's Uncle sounds like Truman Capote (LOL!)
