Why oh why Mr Lucas? When I was a youngster I wanted to be like Obe-Wan when I hit about 60 and Yoda when I hit about 200. Why you ask. These guys were so noble and wise and every kid had this great respect for them. Episode 1 was bad enough but I was expecting better this time around but the hype pulled me in once again. Why am I so bitter. Kenobi was made out as a fool and Yoda was like a little toy who could pull off these weird moves. It was terrible. What was with that love story. Fair enough it had to happen but could Lucas have instilled some class into the putrid script. And what was with the scenery. Maybe I'm missing the point but i was expecting it all to look real. If i wanted a cartoon I would have gone and seen ice age.

Anyways, Lucas, i think you should immediateley step down from your written and directorial duties as you have lost your touch. What happened to the story brother. Shame shame shame!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's been pointed out enough that there are obvious similarities in styles between this and PTA's magnolia but lantana greatly dissapointed me. The critic's loved it and so did all my friends and i was absolutely dying to see this film. I felt it missed the mark. It wasn't long enough. Somebody said that the film wasn't about characters but relationships. How can u have a film with no character development in a film about relationships.

I felt another our would have given the director more time to develop these characters and make us feel something for them.

The fact this film won so many AFI's shows the poor state of the film industry in Oz. That's not to say this is a bad movie, it's decent but got more credit than it deserved.

First things first. This is one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I saw the directors cut last night (having never seen the original, mind you) and i was blown away by the emotions this thing was throwing in my direction. The two leads had the greatest natural chemistry I've ever seen on film.

If you made the same mistake I did and put off viewing this film then you are a bigger fool than I. I thought this would be an artsy fartsy affair but was thankfully proven wrong.

I knew nothing ( and still know very little) about the director and actors but I would love to know more about the actress who played Betty. Awesome. She was beautiful and so believable. I sat there for 3 hours entranced by her. I can't believe this was her acting debut. I can't believe this film was made in 1986. I only learnt this when i got on imdb today. This looks like it was made 2 years ago.

I don't have one bad thing to say (except maybe the opening sex scene). Other than that, how can anyone fault this film. A beautiful character study, romance, and just a great dam film.
