I've always had little faith in the talents of George Lucas, for I'm sure very few of you know that Star Wars is actually a stolen idea from a Japanese film by director Kurosawa known as "The Hidden Fortress" in the USA.

Watching Episode IV, V and VI, I really enjoyed myself, but couldn't help but think of the similarities to Kurosawa's version. Then came Episode I, a pile of trash with no narrative and the deceptiveness of (CGI) Computer Generated Images; and Episode II was not bad, just a little too romantic for my liking.

I had no high hopes for Episode III having seen its two predecessors, and having in mind the story of "The Hidden Fortress" but I was dead wrong! In this thrilling conclusion, it seems that Lucas has taken into consideration just how important the narrative is in a script, and has let his imagination run wild with brilliant new creatures and characters.

If there were any downfalls, it would have to be the ill-inclusion of the wookies and the cheesy dialogue which make villains sound like children's' cartoon villains and some of the industry's most talented actors sound like they are reading an autocue. Also, Yoda's reconstructed lines are extremely over-the-top and perhaps a little annoying.

However, it's a thumbs up for Episode III and everything ties up just superbly. I have seen it 6 times already, feeling very satisfied.

Most people that I have been to see this with have been very unimpressed, however, I blame those horrible movies that have absolutely no storyline whatsoever and are just overflown with millions of dollars worth of action. "I, Robot" is a masterpiece of work and its fantastic CGI animation is never too little or too much. The fun of the movie is balanced out with a clever storyline, packed with emotion, jokes, mind-blowing equasions and much more. Will Smith is fantastic, as well as his fellow cast members.

I also noticed the movies very unusual soundtrack, which plays an enormous part in setting the scenes. Marco Beltrami has done a fantastic job with this distinctive movie soundtrack. This combines the best of action and the best of sci-fi, and I would strongly advise you to watch this. Not one moment of this movie is a waste of time.

This is not exactly what I would call genius comedy, however, the first few episodes may have you holding your ribs in agony. It is a big risk relying your jokes on gruesomeness and funny accents, which leave the audience hysterical after a few times. There is a wide range of very funny characters in the first episode, feeding the population with great catch-phrases and jokes, but however, as the series moves on, the sames jokes and phrases are extremely repetitive and you find yourself becoming very bored. It is not always good to find that you already know what's going to happen next in a sketch, because it just becomes unfunny. If you want to like this, then I would advise you watch about three episodes - just a slight taste, because too much may spoil your appetite for this series. I myself like constructive and clever comedy, this is none of either, perhaps this is good for a more direct and younger audience?
