How about this one:
Star Wars SE- so whats the fuss about???
Digital effects look like digital effects...
When the Land Speeder flies over the camera towards Mos Eisley - it
looks just as bad as a card board flat. The city itself is a silicon
dream. Sorry George, but adding all that crap was a waste of time. If
it was just to clean up the matte lines and improve the explosions -
fine. This stuff looks as bad as Anaconda...
The original was considered a modern masterpiece. Why then do we not
attempt to preserve that for future generations???
I just don't think that the added digitations added enough to the film
to merit the full scale alteration (some say destruction) of a
milestone, classic film.
I have to agree that the SWSE wasn't anything to get joyous over. I thought
the new effects detracted from the film. The best of the three re-do's was
Empire because the changes were not as noticable. They really fucked up Return
with the new (horrible) song that replaced "lapti Nik".
Actually, I feel the exact opposite. I thought the addition
of Jaba to Star Wars was good, added a sense of continuity.
The digital effects weren't that big a deal, but they weren't very
noticable for a younger, first time viewer. As for the song in Jedi,
good riddance, the Ewoks should have been digitally edited out
as well.
