rfmcdonaldI haven't seen the movie yet, though I know that I will. (I've good reason not to have seen it, for I'm not best friends with George.) Eventually I will see it. Everyone will, I think, who's even vaguely interested in science fiction and grand mythologies and related domains of popular culture.
Even though I haven't I have seen the film, I have read the children's novelization, and the adult novelization, and seen the children's movie picture book, and scanned the impressive art book. I do think that I'm at least moderately qualified to speak about it.
And what do I think? There aren't any surprises. The movie will doubtless be grand on the big screen, and it will be dramatic, and it tied up every loose end that I could think, and without a doubt it'll be a smashing global success. Why, then, do I have the sinking feeling that it won't live up to much of its promise? Here's hoping it'll be as authentically good as The Empire Strikes Back.
