Tell me it was good! I've been reading good reviews and I can hardly believe it. Can Lucas finally make a good movie after I and II?

YES it rocks go see it! This is how 1 & 2 should have been!! It does a great job of giving you the answers you want, tying up ends, setting up episode 4. Lucas managed to save his reputation IMO.

Tbh it wasnt all that good...
Beware of Spoilage:
Darth Vader didnt show up until the last 5 minutes, and then he started crying...
The fight in the beginning was pretty bad ass though.
They should have dumped all the 'omgbuhu i r gonna be t3h evil siiththingier' **** and made Darth vader kill people trough out the entire movie.
all the crap theyve shown us on tv about how cool Darth Vader looks and **** was worthless, the guy didnt even kill anyone in his suit.
Plus, who the hell can have his legs and an arm cut off AND catch on fire and still live?
Also, People cant die 'because they dont want to live', they should have made Darth Vader kill/choke Padme after she had sex with Obi wan.

Lucky bestards.
Over here (Norway) the Nerds quickly bought all the tickets so the movie will be sold out for ATLEAST 1 week.

I've avoided this topic all day since I was going to see it this afternoon. Cinema was half empty when I went at back of 2pm today actually, kinda weird (gotta love the worlds tallest cinema complex being here in Glasgow woohoo!  )
Film was great! The fights were just brilliant and the lack of Jar Jar really improved things a LOT. Unlike the other two though, this one wouldn't have been as good without Anakin (I'm convinced 1 & 2 would have been better films without his whinage). Lucas suprised me with this, he really did.

Spectacular special effects. Crappy actor play by Anakin/Vader. One minute he rats on the emperor, and another he's like : I bow before you lord of the sith. Thats just a load of bull. And then - when did he get his 2nd arm cut off? Or did his mechanical one just get "detached" during the lava fight?
And how come throughout the whole star wars series a WEAKER jedi slays a more powerful jedi, yet an equal always loses...That just aint right.
But, ofc the movie was great (Natalie Portman and multi-hundred million dollar special effects are actually the best reasons for that so far).

Disappointed fan here. I've seen every SW movie in a theater since the first, and I was hoping against hope that this one would be "the one to end them all"... Alas... no.
Sure, there's action galore, epic scenery and a storyline that follows the books enough to make it plausible, but is it too much as ask that the actors (both real and CG) have some depth of character?
Anakin and Padme = the words "love" come out their mouths but there's no chemistry at all sooo... ?
Anakin and Obi Wan = Obi considers Anakin a brother (and you can sense that) but even McGregor can't make up for Christiansons'(sp?) blandness
Anakin and Sidious = no chemistry
Mace Windu = one of the most powerful Jedi's in the books, but you'd never know it watching this movie
General Grevious = Jedi killer in the books, this movie makes him look like Stephen Hawking in an exoskeleton... LAME!
Sidious/Palpatine = very charismatic and believable, up until he ages 20 years in 20 seconds, then his voice gets all weird and the whole thing gets melodramatic
Sorry. I know Lucas' fanboys will light me up like a Christmas tree for saying this, but Maul was 10x the villain Grevious, Sidious, or Vader was. Skywalker was as charasmatic as wet cardboard, and for the love of Almighty God, NOT EVEN BEING VADER COULD PREVENT HIM WHINING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL!!!  
Characters with at least some plausible personality:
R2D2 (who stole the show imo)
Obi Wan (Ewan is a great actor)
Yoda (little green pinball death)
Jango Fett (or his clone Captain dude)
Padme (great, despite having a rubber doll as a co-star)
The rest.... meh

Well i saw it 2 hours ago, id give it a 5.
Read the book its just so much better, the movie plays like a trailer for the book.
Begining fight was crap, dooku dies like a ***** in 10 seconds, boring. Grievous isnt meant to get utterly pwnd like he is, he has no chance against obi wan but most of the lightsaber fight was over in under a minute. Same with most of the other lightsaber fights, Anakin on obi wan was incredible, as was the end, sumone needs to wake george lucas up and tell him he has lost his touch in directing

There, i just contributed nothing to your thread

25% of the people who reserved a ticket didnt bother showing up around here 
Edit: Which reminds me, why does the R2 in 1/2/3 have Jets where the R2 Luke has later on doesnt? Its supposed to be the same R2 yet they downgraded it for some reason?
Also, Where the hell did Grevious(sp?) come from? I dont recall hearing anything about him in EP II. He seemed Half Human and Half Droid, his history would have been MUCH more interesting then Padme getting fat and Anakin moaning about how much his life sucks tbh

Why does everyone keep talking about books? AFAIK Lucas only worked on the films.
And Grevious indeed seems to have an interesting history.... And Darth Vader comes over as a total wuss at the end. Come on, that scream HAS to be the most worthless acting in the past 200 years.

Well in the U.S at least Lucas had two seasons of 15min shorts made to fill the time gap between EP2 and EP3. The time gap is about 3 years. Grevious was a half droid half Imodian. Trained by Dooku to be an Anti-Jedi Droid. Thiswas done to counter balance the use of Jedi's to boost the fighting capabilities of the clone armies. NOW what is not told is how Mace Windoo messed up Grievous while he escaped during the kidnapping of Palpatine.
Personally this movie proves one thing ONLY, Palpatine can only control scared wussies cuz he is the king of them.
Ever time Yoda actively fights back he tries to run for the hills and Mace Windoo pretty much would have killed him if it weren't for that Punk Anakin.
If your a Vader lover DON'T SEE this movie! If not well then see it. IMHO Yoda steals the film along with Obi Wan.

Totally agree with the last sentence. He should have gone berzerk after finding out that Padme was dead, killing hundreds of people, including Emperor, not just "Scream Oh noes!" and then go watch the Death Star get built".
Then, after killing everyone, commit suicide, for the lack of reason to live.

I really enjoyed this film bar a few annoying oversights:
1.Hayden Christenson might aswell not be there. The film woulda played along just aswell if they had held up a cardboard cut out and used a stage hand to move it during a scene
2.Vadar not in it enough.The Bit between the Birth and the Harry Potter scenes shoulda had 15minutes of Vadar slaughtering Jedi.And of course moving the Imperical fleet over Naboo to shell a certain J.J. Binks and his Gungan friends into a fine Paste.
3.The emperor was good but he didnt have the same reserved Sinister look of the origional
Other then those few problums it was great.Really loved the last scene nearly brought a tear to me eye.
