I didn't say anything about over the top action or cheesy dialogue. I said the film had terrible dialogue, crap characters and story development. Cheesy dialogue would have been a welcomed improvement.
 I think star wars at least had developed characters that I actually cared about which is why I don't agree with the analogy at all. Star Wars also had a much better story and could have stood on it's own without two other movies. The Millennium Falcon had more personality  then anyone in Gears. Gears of War  plot and charcter depth wise is more comparable to Alien Resurrection if you really have to place it in some film franchise. Action wise, it's totally Aliens, which had over the top action/cheesy dialogue/ and a great story (Yay Cameron.)

Games don't have to be shaksperian works of art, but if developers want to be taken seriously by other forms of media then they need to realize that they have the oppertunity to tell a great story, and are in a medium that lets you do so in new and interesting ways. We can and should have the complete package.
