Comments on: 10 films released in 2008 that were worse than Delgo http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/12/29/10-films-released-in-2008-that-were-worse-than-delgo/ Atlanta news and views, one slice at a time Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:43:51 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: John http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/12/29/10-films-released-in-2008-that-were-worse-than-delgo/comment-page-1/#comment-101764 John Wed, 31 Dec 2008 08:28:21 +0000 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/?p=11661#comment-101764 The only difference between the other films and "The Clone Wars" is that "The Clone Wars" both knew EXACTLY what it wanted to be, then delivered that with some creative flair and a compelling story with new characters who proved to bring some of the old "cameraderie" to "Star Wars." It's easy to dismiss "The Clone Wars" for whatever reason. It's getting less and less easy, in light of the weekly TV series, to CONTINUE dismissing it, since it may very well be on of the three or four best shows on television. Did it deserve to come out as a movie? Maybe not. But worse things have happened with uglier results. "The Clone Wars" as mis-marketed and mis-timed, it wasn't positioned for what it was. But as a fun, "Star Wars" tale ... it delivers!
