Anderson's best movie (and could have been much more if he released it the way he intended). Anakin is only a fresh-faced kid in Episode I in IV, V and VI, he has become Darth Vader."Įvent Horizon (1997) I liked EZ, probably Paul W. Here we first see Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and R2-D2 and C-3PO. If some of the characters are less than compelling, perhaps that's inevitable: This is the first story in the chronology and has to set up characters who (we already know) will become more interesting with the passage of time.
3 idiots film review roger ebert full#
Still, I think Ebert went way too positive on TPM's review - "Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace, to cite its full title, is an astonishing achievement in imaginative filmmaking. I understand their problems, but I enjoy their creativity and visuals. The Phantom Menace (1999) - I am admittedly a great fan of the Star Wars Prequels. Similarly, in the same review, he heavily critizes Alien³ There is not a single shot in the movie to fill one with wonder-nothing like the abandoned planetary station in "Aliens." Even the standard shots of vast spaceships, moving against a backdrop of stars, are murky here, and perfunctory. "Alien Resurrection" was directed by the French visionary Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("City of Lost Children"), who with his designers has placed it in what looks like a large, empty hangar filled with prefabricated steel warehouse parts. However, for Resurrection Ebert says The "Alien" movies always have expert production design. But it's more impressive if you ignore the genre and just look at what's on the screen."Īlien³ (1992) and Alien esurrection (1997) - Overwhelmingly negative: I really enjoyed these movie, and while I recognize their flaws I think the good outweight the bad.
It walks and talks like a big budget horror film, heavy on special effects and pitched at the teenage audience, and maybe that's how it will be received. Spawn (1997) - Overwhelmingly positive: While I liked Spawn, he goes to overpraise the movie in his review, I believe: "Spawn' is best seen as an experimental art film.
Characters have never been Carpenter's strong point he says he likes his movies to create emotions in his audiences, and I guess he'd rather see us jump six inches than get involved in the personalities of his characters" The Thing (1982) - Negative: He heavily disliked the movie and the character (as surprisingly did most critics during the time): "The Thing is a great barf-bag movie, all right, but is it any good? I found it disappointing, for two reasons: the superficial characterizations and the implausible behavior of the scientists on that icy outpost. While many of Ebert's reviews were mostly on point, even if a bit hyperbole, however, there are some which I believe he completely missed the mark, either with negatives or positives: He was known for his very good, and sometimes even funny reviews on films, many with the late Gene Siskel the duo popularized the thumbs up/thumbs down form of criticism If you don't think any of the above situations apply, you can use this feedback form to request a review of this block.We all know Roger Every, arguably the greatest film criticic of all time.
