As a movie to book adaptation Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is by far the worst of the three. As a movie on its own its about equal with the second movie and still better then the first movie. Still the third book was alot better then the second book I wish Chris Columbus could have directed this.

All this "aspect rations" things is too confusing, there should be a standart aspect ratio, and that's it.

No a filmmaker should have the right to choose the aspect he shoots it in. No standard ratio. I would only want to watch the movie in the aspect the movie was filmed in whichever it is. Also with Star Wars you are missing 43% of the movie but still enough to make Pan Scan worthless.

I have another page with a long list of movies without the original versions availble on DVD. Even Tolkien himself is gulty of this. After he wrote Lord of the Rings he went back and changed The Hobbit to fit The Lord of the Rings and never printed the original Hobbit again. How is this different?

Just saw this movie. I was dissipointed because this movie is way way too God damn short. About a half hour to short. So much is missing from the book. The first two movies were as long as they needed to be. Don't know what they were thinking adapting a book thats 100 pages longer and making the movie 25 minutes shorter. Thats a recipe for disaster. So many important and absolutly nessessary details of the book are missing. Oliver Woods cup, Cho Chang, Americas Most Wanted, the firebolts mystery all gone. Other then that it was superb. If you haven't read the book its excellent. It has great susspense, action, story, effects I just wish it could have been longer. I won't spoil it but if you haven't read the book the movie will completly surprise you. Still being a huge fan of the book I can't watch the movie without thinking something is missing. Still as a movie it is great. I recommend it.

It made no difference for me because I honestly did not think they were digital when I first saw Attack of the Clones. Neither did any of my friends, parents, and relatives.

No audiences can accept animation. Look at Finding Nemo. Digital animation is the answer to all filmmaking problems. You can put anything on screen. Attack of the Clones did only use digital effects respectivly. Puppet Yoda can't fight. Model ships can't manuver. It would have been hard to find a large number of people who have the same height and walk to play the clones. Men in Alien maskes look fake, with Chewbacca as an exception but George is not doing him digital is he.

The books progressively get more mature so a kid can grow up with the stories. The fifth book would probably have to be PG-13 to keep all of its spirit.

If people would just accept Attack of the Clones for the masterpeice it is the Star Wars fanbase would be taken more seriously.

BTW, no CG Yoda in the OT, but CG Yoda in TPM:SE.

Where is this confirmed by. Only 3 of the five have been confirmed from what I see.

According to the bits Clone Wars DVD isn't planned until after Episode 3 hits theaters. Probably summer 2005. Long wait but if they do the DVD right as one two hour Star Wars movie then I can wait. Absolute specifications for DVDs

Anamorphic encoding
5.1 surround
the commentaries from hyperspace
Some decent video extras of some kind
Ability to watch all 40 as one animated movie without title intros.

Sorry I guess I was a bit wild. I just am so sick of prequal complaints. It is ruining the Star Wars fanbase. It used to be cool to be a Star Wars fan. Prequal bashing has ruined Star Wars. It needs to end. So called Star Wars fans need to start being Star Wars fans.

Digital effects will replace actors someday. Its only a question of when. Really its a matter of cost. Its now to expensive to create digital actors for every movie. Digital effects are getting better and cheaper every day. When Jurassic Park came out in 1993 I had no clue how those effects were created. My 5 year old mind was absolutly amazed. I have loved digital effects from that point on. The digital dinosaurs in the movie looked so lifelike. And that was 11 years ago. 7 years later we got Walking with Dinosaurs. One of the most amazing and epic films of all time. It had effects equal to Jurassic Park but for television and in much greater numbers. Today we have improved to the point where we can make anything. True sometimes digital effects today don't always look good but it is a matter of cost not technology. In my opinion Gollum looked just as realistic as Frodo in Lord of the Rings.

Suberbit is another name for bare bones. The DVD for Attack of the Clones looks better then any Superbit I have ever seen. I am sure these DVDs will look great.

How long can it take to create an hour cartoon. I mean they make whole seasons of the Simpsons in the same amount of time. I think the best way to do the next 20 is 21-30 in November and 31-40 in March. Also I think they should hold back the DVD release to include all 40 as one two hour Star Wars movie.

Great post.
I agree with you 100%.
CGI has a hard time when creating 3 dimenshional items.They look paper thin and have no mass.

Like the post said 2001 was such a good movie,I believed i was in space when watching it.

Look at Empire when the At At are attacking hoth,They have both weight,structure,movement and tone.
If done in CGI Empire would be a tottaly different film.

Jedi was good beacuse CGi was used aswell as model kits.

Terminator 2 was a good film i think beacuse CGI was used with live actors and sparingly.

The phantom menace had me in disbelief when i saw it at the movies,Also clone wars.
I think that if a film has a concrete story line and good acting then CGI is not so important.
Its intresting how technology in film making has changed since the first Star wars movie,Sets and props dont seem to be the order of the day.
I always like models and sets beacuse they have a very true to life and "hands on" approach,look at Battlestar Galactica,
The ships in this series looked awsome,Done in CGI they would move too fast and look flat.
If you look at CGi in the clone wars there are not many sceens when the action is slow and CGI is applied.This is beacuse CGI is no good at slow motion beacuse the human brain can detect it from reality.

I am not entirely looking forward to seeing the next Star wars film,CGI will play a big part no doubt and gone will be the true approach.

First of all Terminator 2 is an Ok film. I see it as a dumb action movie. I enjoy it the same why I enjoy Van Helsing great effects but all the substance of the first Terminator movie is gone. What about the Matrix. You say CGI can never look good in slow motion but The Matrix is filled with slow motion CGI that looks excellent. Not to mention slow motion in movies normally is bad even in live action form.

But guys I grew up with the original pan scan VHS movies and always loved them as a kid. Attack of the Clones has everything I love about The Empire Strikes Back with more exciting action and effects. All the story, sole, dark feel, and great acting of The Empire Strikes Back is found in Attack of the Clones. I love Attack of the Clones because I love the originals.

Maybe an animated one but only if they keep the dark feel and violence of the London Assignment. Don't make it into a kids cartoon. Also no live action show. The big budget action can never be reproduced on television and a live action series would be cheap. Look at he Animorphs TV series for an example.
