SPOILERS Star Wars episode III (what do you think)

Personally I absolutely loved it. I actually liked I and II, sure they aren't as good as the original trilogy but I still don't think they are bad.

This one is definately on par with the original trilogy though, definately a good trip to the cinema today.
 
I agree some of the special effects didn't help the film, especially the sequences that involved flying, very confusing at times to keep up! But yes Anakin's transition was slightly rushed, especially at the end when it was completed. But during the film I thoroughly enjoyed his change and the interaction between Anakin and the Chancellor....So well done and so brilliantly manipulated, how everything Palpatine told Anakin came true in relations to how the Council treated him. Also the idea that the difference between good and evil exists in your own interpretation of it was class.
 
I think you misunderstand me.I should have said he a small part.Not as a clone.He had his own blonde hair,and he was wearing a grey pilots uniform.Looked like a small cameo part to me.
 
1 - Yes
2 - I think Lucas says 'no'. He was created by the Force.
3 - It works in mysterious way. It guides us, it binRAB us...etc. It's a mystical Deux ex machina.
 
Anakin Skywalker is the one who will bring balance to the force.
How can he be the only other hope when it neeRAB Luke to bring him back?

I suppose the other hope could be the oRABpring of Leia Organa-Solo.
 
Went to go see the film today, thought it was good but the wookies and count Dooku might have well have not being in it. Mace geting killed was quite sad and i thought that Anakin turned to the dark side was not very well thought through.
 
You are correct, he was the pilot of the Tantive IV (the rebel blockade runner). It was his third part in the films, the other being an Imperial guard who escorts Princess Leia through Cloud City in TESB (the scene where Leia shouts 'Luke don't it's a trap').
 
He was saying that he has been told by Qui Gon about how to retain his identity after dying (force ghost). If you remember the original movies Obi Wan was able to appear to Luke after he died, this was the 'trick' that Qui Gom taught Obi and Yoda in between Ep 3 and 4.
 
Well assuming Ewan McGregor's acting, Anakin and Padme's woodentop impressions, the god awful CGI, the pitifully camp Darth Vader, the vast array of clich
 
I loved it! Bit black for me though.

The first half hour was a bit of a show off really, with special effects, lots of pod type things.

But from then on in it got better and better ... and more and more emotional.

I cried from about an hour in until the end ... it was just so sad.

There was a brief respite with Yoda's fight scenes, which were goddamn hysterical as usual. :D
 
*spoilers ahead* (not that there is anything to spoil)


My dear god. Dear dear god.

WHAT THE HELL?

Went to see Star Wars tonight. Wasnt expecting too much, hey, I hadn't even seen the second I hated the first so much. But the trailers looks cool, and hey, why not?

Why not? WHY NOT?

It seems Mr Lucas swallowed the huge book of movie cliches and shit them onto a piece of paper, photocopied it, and handed it out the cast. It is the worst dialogue I have ever heard, BAR NONE. 'I'm pregant'..... are we in s SOAP OPERA here? It was too familiar, you just KNEW what every line was going to be.

And don't even get me started on the acting. They had all clearly read the dialogue and admitted defeat. It is Ewan McGregor's worst ever perfomance, and I adore the guy. Everyone was wooded (especially Hayden) and Natalie Portman was just unbelivably awful.

The effects were overdone. Many just screamed CGI, and a lot of the time they tried to cram so much in you had no idea what was going on.

Pacing and cutting was self-concious and needed more than a bit of tweaking.

Honestly I have barely anything good to say for this movie, except for:
1. Movie score. Obviously. Some is VERY john williams but no one gets tired of that music.
2. Yoda. Ok ok, some of his lines were hammy too ('Not if anything to say have I') but he was a cute little guy, and even funny once.
3. Anakin Skywalker giving evil looks with red eyes from under his hood. Not good acting, but SERIOUSLY SEXY. SERIOUSLY.

Thats it. I am so disappointed I feel I have to go and watch ten brill movies as I feel so unclean.

Overall:

3/10

And the 3 is for cinematography, score and sexy hooRAB.
 
I stand corrected then.
But that isn't the "stomping" (we'll refer to it as that to save spoiling it for people) scene at the beginning of Irreversible that out friend refers to.
 
When relating the tale of Darth Plageus to Anakin, Palpatine said that he taught his apprentice everything he knew before he was killed. This implies his apprentice also had the power to create life.

Palpatine seemed to emphasise that Plageus could *create* life before going on to talk about how he could keep people from dying. As far as I could see the creating bit was fairly irrelevant unless it was a hint to Anakin being created by the Sith.

He also gives Anakin a bit of a 'look' when he talks about creating life which seals it for me.

Unless someone can prove otherwise my interpretation is that Sideous was the apprentice of Plageus and he did create Anakin by manipulating the force.

When Palpatine says to Anakin that he can't yet do it but if they work together they could, does anyone honestly believe him? He doesn't want to save Padme. He just wants to provide incentive for Anakin to join him.
