The casting was excellent ...everyone fits the description of Stephanie's characters to a tee! Do not get me wrong.....the movie was good but it was lacking in some pretty important things!! This is a book that took me by surprise with its heartfelt rendition of young forbidden love! Some of that was lost in translation. But overall it was enjoyable...this is although a movie that I am so glad that I read the book first. For those who have not they may lose interest and not read the book at all...and that would be a true shame because the printed page is where the magic lies on this one!
Aug 15th was my son's eighth b-day and being the extreme Star Wars fan that he is he has known about this movie since March! The situation was perfect! The animation was awesome the faces and bodies were on point and I almost forgot I was looking at a animated film. The movement as far as walking was robotic but the battle scenes made up for that by leaps and bounds. Every Star Wars movie is not content appropriate for my child (Episodes1-3) so this one I was very pleased with. The fact of the matter is it is a movie and it transported me and my family to Tattoine, Jaba's Palace and all over the galaxy for the price of a movie ticket! Job well done! The three of us were certainly entertained!
