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.

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

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.

My god,are you actually saying this guy can act.I read an interview in the Sunday Times where he stated
"I didnt really do much acting,They just told me to stand here and look sinister"
Im friggin serious thats an almost exact quote.

As XKittyX said its "Dark, evil and sexy." and a lot of fun! I had planned on yet another night in front of the PC until a buddy of mine surprised me today and said "we are going to see Ep 3!", although I will suffer for this tomorrow (today lol) at work I'm so happy I agreed to go.
The movie is awesome all round, very dark indeed and all the characters were fantastic, I saw the original when It was first out and I have the same feeling all these years later after seeing this one..
Hayden Christenson and the rest of the cast did a great job "imo" as they have done throughout, limited as they are to a script/story that although some people may forget is really still aimed at kids who are around the same age as I was when I saw the original so long ago.

And that he does...At least all his scenes with Padme involve a lot of whining/standing and looking sinister.
And then he stands as Darth Vader, looking at the construction of the DS. This guy would have stood up through the whole 4th episode if they were making a remake of the original.

Just came from the screening and I agree on all counts. I thought it was OK, nothing outstanding, just OK.
A couple of things to add: Dialogues in the movie were (excepts for Palpatine's ) rather dissapointing (overly primitive). And CGI was, quite frankly, OVERDONE! Too much of the bio-mechanical, overly colorful CGI sh*t crawling and flying around. They might as well have splashed the movie screen with green, blue and red paint and would've gotten the same effect. 
Edit:
This review pretty much sums up my feelings about the movie...
and another one...
Quote:
No doubt the most expensive stoner film in history, the alleged final installment of George Lucas's elongated adolescence turns out to be not so much a movie as a relentlessly vivid parade of visually overstuffed set pieces, a digital-age DorÚ Bible illustrating defining moments in the soap-operatic Star Wars mythos. No pixel goes untweaked under Lucas's watch. The border-lines between sets, humans, and CGI vanish, giving the auteur free rein to conjure some particularly florid dreamscapes: roiling oceans of hell-red magma, iguana-like steeds the size of pachyderms, a female Jedi murdered beneath a canopy of gargantuan luminescent flowers. Visionary, perhaps, but also super-sized, surfacey, and not slightly cheesy. In debt to lurid sci-fi-novel cover art, Revenge of the Sith achieves the ultimate in what could be called Baroque Nerdism, a frame-filling aesthetic of graphic overdesign that began with The Phantom Menace and has now been jacked up to an absurd degree. Half the film takes place at dawn or dusk, so that the Marin County team can geek out on artificial roseate glowùa sugary luminence used so frequently one wonders if they developed a Maxfield Parrish plug-in to get the job done. On metropolitan Coruscant, background windows buzz with distant air-cars of various models; on DVD zoom mode, they will likely reveal individual license plate numbers.

You ppl make me laugh. The whole reason most ppl hate haydens acting is because they see other ppl complaining about it and want to follow the rest. Everyone acted great in all the movies. I loved this movie as I love the rest.
George lucas did a amazing job. He tied up the loose ends and connected the 3ed movie to the 4th.
There were great special effects and stunning fights. For god sakes complaining about how Vadar survived when he caught on fire and lost his legs. Well how the hell do you think he got the way he was in 4,5 and 6.
George lucas knew how he wanted the movies. There all his ideas and all his directing. So what are you to disagree with it because it don't suite your fantacy (Idea) of how the story line should go.
Hayden acted the way he was supposed to. Just because his role was "unlikeable" doesn't mean he's a bad actor.
George Lucas even said he felt everyone complained about haydens acting because his role was not what ppl expected and was of a "winny teenager" which is exactly the way George lucas wanted his character to be.
I don't think anyone can say they never were the "winey Know it all" teenager or atleast knew someone who was somewhat like that.
This movie was to show his transition into Darth Vader not to show more of his life as Darth Vader.
And as someone befor me said the books were written by various authers, not George Lucas, Afaik George Wrote none of the books.
Only 1 part seems a litle rushed or unprobable to me and that was when Mace windu was about to kill The Emperor And then Aniken changed sides and suddonly pleged aliegence to The Emperor.
About the Emperor ageing 20 years in 20 seconds well if you were paying attention The emperor was geting electricuted by his electricity being rebounded off maces Light saber and thus scaring him and affecting his voice. He didn't "age" he was scarred from the affect of the electricity. He even said it at the emergency meeting of the senate. That he was "scarred in the assination attemp"
anyways It dissappoint me to see everyone complain about these movies because there not to there exact PERSONAL Idea of how the movie should go.
The movies stuck to the story line and helped everyone understand how the empire came into existance and how Lord Vader became Lord Vadar.
Also I thought Mace Windu looked quite powerfull Considering he ultimately beat The Emperor he just was stoped by Aniken.

Umm, no, im not jumping on the band wagon here.
The lines for the anakin are some of the most unbelievable/plain stupid I've ever heard in all star wars Saga.
First, he tells Padme about love, bla-bla, jedi betrayal. The next lines, that come out of his mouth are on the volcano planet fighting obi.
Now he's rambling about how he and padme will rule the galaxy? Wtf? Where's a transition? Then he chokes her and goes berserk.
I may not be very familiar with the concept of dark side, but acting erratic, and contrary to basic human logic and common sense isnt the most popular behavior for any jedi.
Just like the time he swings from trusting chancellor, to ratting him out, to betraying the jedi council. Make up your mind, dammit.

I'm a firm believer that all the critics of Ep 1 and 2 simply cannot separate Ep 4,5,6 from their childhood perceptions of them.
The acting and dialogue in 4,5,6 was at least as bad as 1 and 2. But I know that personally I'm willing to put up with it more because I have this huge, soft, fuzzy, warm part of my heart for the original SW movies.
If i try to be as objective as I can, I really think that besides one or two things, Ep 4,5,6 are just as "bad" and corny, cheesy, etc as Ep 1 and 2. I'm sure Ep 3 will be the same (seeing it on Sunday \o/ ), but to me anyhow... thats part of Star Wars... it wouldn't be SW without the cheese

Was considering that on Friday, but my mate got us (admitadly handwritten cause the machine was gubbed) tickets for the midnight showing so we went.
Personal opinions:
I agree in many ways with Latex, but I still think they film was good.
Alot of the "angst" between the characters that should have been there, wasn't. For example, that scene where Palpatine becomes his wrinkly self after Windu wtfpwns him really could have been an anguished turn to the dark side. As it was, I was cringing at Palpatine putting on 100 lbs rather than going wrinkly and watching almost in disgust as Anakin just kinda wandered around looking lost and haltingly saying his lines.
*shrugs*
The wee comic moments were great, like r2 shocking the droid in Grievous ship and it kicking him. Yoda crumpling the two Imperial guards before the pinball fight etc etc
The space battles were great, as were lot of the 1 v 1 battles, but I felt not living up to the Ep 1 Maul fight.
Would I go see it again? Sure. Will I buy it when it eventually comes out on dvd? Yep. Did i like it? Yep? Was I dissapointed in parts? Yep.
Mixed bag really.
EDIT: oh and of/c veryone played spot the character and all the wee nods to the other episodes.
I liked the young Moff Tarkin right at the end, I'm taking it that it was a cgi'd Peter Cushing head.

Well that or because every scene with that nuublet in it was boring and listening to him moan over and over was annoying?
Id much rather have seen him turn into Darth Vader in the first 5 mins and kick ass for the rest of the movie.

For god sakes complaining about how Vadar survived when he caught on fire and lost his legs. Well how the hell do you think he got the way he was in 4,5 and 6.
Fire + Cutting off all limbs was to much tbh, but personally this didnt bother all that much. It was just somewhat silly.

Hayden acted the way he was supposed to. Just because his role was "unlikeable" doesn't mean he's a bad actor.
George Lucas even said he felt everyone complained about haydens acting because his role was not what ppl expected and was of a "winny teenager" which is exactly the way George lucas wanted his character to be.
I don't think anyone can say they never were the "winey Know it all" teenager or atleast knew someone who was somewhat like that.
Pretty much all scenes that involved talking between Anakin and anyone else where boring and often annoying.
I couldnt care less about his acting skills, his character was a moron and should have been killed by Obi-wan in the first scene. Darth Vader > Moaning Jedi.
Originally by: Discodude
This movie was to show his transition into Darth Vader not to show more of his life as Darth Vader.
Which indeed is quite unfortunate, Darth Vader kicking ass = l33t. Darth Vader's presence was hyped so much it made me jump up down while waiting for the tickets, then all he does is cry like a girl and stare out a window.
I hate Lucas for that...

And as someone befor me said the books were written by various authers, not George Lucas, Afaik George Wrote none of the books.
Dunno, never read the books myself. Though usually books are required to be (Insert bad word) before they can be used as movie scripts. Im gonna try and get the books though, mainly because i want to know what happens in Part 7 and after.

About the Emperor ageing 20 years in 20 seconds well if you were paying attention The emperor was geting electricuted by his electricity being rebounded off maces Light saber and thus scaring him and affecting his voice. He didn't "age" he was scarred from the affect of the electricity. He even said it at the emergency meeting of the senate. That he was "scarred in the assination attemp"

Obviously whenever someone doesnt agree with you it means theyre simply repeating someone elses opinion right?
Because nobody in their right mind could actually dislike parts of the movie on their own?
Guess we could claim you are just repeating George Lucas because hes your hero and that you have no opionion of your own? So stop copying other peoples opinions.
Originally by: Discodude
The movies stuck to the story line and helped everyone understand how the empire came into existance and how Lord Vader became Lord Vadar.
Indeed it did, which is great. Though Watching Anakin moan for 2 scenes was more then enough for me to figure out why he was gonna change sides eventually. The rest of his moaning scenes should have been used for the History of Grevious and Darth Vader kicking ass.
Edit: As for the Cartoon Network Clone Wars Show thing, i watched episode 1-10 but i stoppped watching after the artill started dieing to people on motorcycles with spears...

Alot of the "angst" between the characters that should have been there, wasn't. For example, that scene where Palpatine becomes his wrinkly self after Windu wtfpwns him really could have been an anguished turn to the dark side. As it was, I was cringing at Palpatine putting on 100 lbs rather than going wrinkly and watching almost in disgust as Anakin just kinda wandered around looking lost and haltingly saying his lines.
*shrugs*
Agreed again.
Others agree too:
Quote:
Thanks to the perfunctory ease with which many of the film's conflicts are resolved, Lucas' sixth foray into his galaxy far, far away feels like the universe's biggest anti-climax. The Jedis are remarkably easy to kill (grand fiend Count Dooku, likewise), and without anything like a human centre (or villain) in the picture, it's amazing how little it matters that the settings are indeed spectacular. With a trio we actually care about, a desert in Tunisia or an arctic glacier can become exotic locales fraught with peril and possibility, but here, millions of dollars worth of top-of-the-line CPUs working overtime to stretch the virtual landscape produce busy flatware for a flavourless stew.

Though I have to agree there were some dissappointing parts. Like the I mentioned in my previous post.
I'd like to stat a few interesting things I noticed.
1) Aniken wanted to become the most powerfull Jedi/Sith yet he was never able to defeat Obi (Obi let Vader Kill him in Episode 4 if you call it being killed...it looked more like Obi just vanashing.)
2) Jedi on the light (good) side of the force were able to get immortality as you could tell in the comment by Yoda about Qui Gon Gin (or however you spell his name) at the end of episode 3 and through out episodes 4, 5 and 6 where Obi speaks to Luke and you see Obi, Yoda, and Vadar at the end of episode 6 in there ghost form. But they didn't learn how to keep other alive.

I agree with Discodude in almost evrything he said
I enjoyed the movie, i do agree however some "lightsaber-users" were too easy to kill... anakin should have wtfpwned Obi Wan, and one more thing, why the hell didnt the Emperor used his all-might-dark-side-powers to force the midichlorians give life to darth vader isnted of seeing him surviving all those flames?
In any case, good movie.

I really enjoyed the film, true there was some craps bits with anakin and the script is a bit basic in places but I still thought it was great. The funiest mess up for me though was how in the time it took obi and ani to fight, padme had enlarged from about 3 months to nearly term with her pregnancy! lol
I was gutted when the jedi got slaughtered though, even though we all knew it was coming. :(
I would also have liked to see yoda give palpatine a good kicking though even if he couldn't win!

That ending practically put me into tears. The twin sunset scene echoes one of the most iconic moments of the original Star Wars, with Luke standing in that exact spot pondering his future. I can't imagine a better way for ROTS to end then the Lars family standing in that same spot 20 years earlier, holding baby Luke and imagining what the dakr future would hold.
As for not saying a word, I figure Obi-Wan had contacted them ahead of time and worked it out. He was also in something of a rush, what with being declared a traitor and having the entire galaxy hunting him.

Actually people have died from no apparent reason but fear, so dying from knowing you've been with the antichrist himself isn't too far fetched, although another solution would be preferable. Some friendly fire orchestrated by the emperor to turn Anakins head even further would've been my choice.

I am quite certain that Palpatine threw the fight with Mace Windu. He lost on purpose. He probably sensed that Anakin was getting near. And he had actually planned the fight ahead of time. Palpatine was a very clever machiavellian strategist. He intentionally let himself be disarmed. He intentionally acted weak after the first force blast drained him. You could see it in his eyes. He was manipulating Anakin and taking a gamble that Anakin would betray the Jedi Order to preserve him alive. After all, Anakin had already disobeyed by leaving the Jedi Temple. So Palpatine took a calculated risk that he had the edge on, and won.

Ok, watched it a second time, talked to some buds about it, and even was chastised by a Star Wars nerd who had the audacity to say to me "I'm tired of ingant[sic] mothafu**ahs who'd rather argue about what they don't know than listen to the truth"
I stand by my previous review, but I would like to add that, to the back-read person who knows the SW galaxy inside and out, this movie was much more satisfying. Also, after I was "educated" by my somewhat-callous, linguistically-challenged friend, I also began to see the movie in a better light.
Lucas injected content that would keep the typical viewer happy (read: action and special effects) and also give the hardcore enthusiasts something to be happy over (read: story/plot connections). Was it the best amalgamation possible? No, but it's probably impossible to please both the purist, the casual movie goer, and make a profit at the same time, so.... meh.
But I still say that Hayden sucked as an actor <<<Hint: I didn't like his acting, nerd, it has nothing to do with his character (who wasn't evil enough imo)>>> and the whole Emperor voice thing was just crap.

I watched it on saturday, and for me, there simply wasn't enough evil. Ok so anakin was supposed to be a whinney little c**k but he sulked far too much, that time should have been spent wirh him being all ebil. And I was extremely disapointed at darth vadar just going: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES!!!!11!1one!
However those space fights were nice, I'd love to see EVE done in that way.
It was an enjoyable movie but it made darth vadar look like a right knob.

If George Lucas Like Haydens acting Then I Liked his acting because in my mind he acted they way he was supposed to.
I liked the movie it was really enjoyable and entertaining. It was set up for enjoyability of all audiences.
But the fact of the matter is George Lucas and all the actors are gonna be RICH REDICLOUSLY RICH. what they got something like 116 million for the first weekend it was in theaters
A few interesting points.
1)Obi Ages just aprox 35 years between 3 and 4 even though there set to be aprox 20 years apart.
2) Obi claims in episode 4 that he doesn't remember ever owning a droid like R2D2 yet he had many adventures with him throughout episodes 1,2 and 3
3)Darth Vader doesn't seem to notice C-3PO in the Eventhough he built the robot.
4)LUke and Leia discuss thier real mother in Return of the Jedi and leia says she remembers there mother but only in Images and feelings, But how does she remember so well considering Padme died just after birth.
5) It takes them 20 years to build the first Death star But only a few to build the 2nd

1. Maybe its stress :)
2. This is another of Obi-wan's "certain points of view". Obi-Wan never DID own R2D2, or any other droid for that matter. Jedi aren't allowed to own things. It is also possible he really doesnt remember R2D2, since all R2 units look alike and I don't think Luke ever actually mentioned his name in front of Obi-Wan.
3. I don't think Darth Vader ever gets a good look at C-3PO. Besides, the above point stands. Unless he actually speaks to 3PO he has no way of knowing its him since they all look similar.
4. Leia is strong in the force. It is possible that she actually DOES remember the brief time she had with Padme. I think someone noticed that Baby Luke's eyes are closed when he is shown to padme, but Leia's are open. If the force can levitate X-wings and control people's minds, I'm sure it can unconciously help you remember an emotional event like that.
5. It never did make sense to me that the 2nd Death Star was built so quickly. It is possible that both Death Stars were started within 10 years of eachother. Why build one planet destroying battlestation when you can build two!?

Frankly the entire part with the conversion from republic to empire was so poorly made use of.
The sepratised's was just dismanteled when in my opinion it as the republic turned evil should have turned into the rebellion.
On the same matter of the lack of any formation of the rebellion was upsetting.
Finaly the hole betrayal of the jedi by the clone's was so short and by far this upset me most as the entire point was to go from a period where every one knew the jedi as a force for peace to the point where only 33 year's later no one beleive's in the force as made perfectly clear by han solo in the first film.

I thought the scene where Anakin sees Padme for the first time was extremely well done. There was nothing wrong with the dialoge or the acting. Anakin's first reaction was joy, then he realized that this would get him kicked out of the Jedi Order. Then he realized he had better not upset Padme, so he started comforting her.
As for turning to the Dark Side, its not like he had any other choice at that point. He had helped kill a Jedi Master and member of the Council. Killing Windu was a point of no return.
These things aren't really that complicated. I don't understand why people have so much trouble reading a little deeper into things.

Agreed. My reaction upon learning my wife was pregnant was hardly what I'd call 'well-scripted". I don't care how prepared you are for it. It's a shocking and humbling moment when your entire world changes. The scene was fine considering all the information Anakin had to process inside his head.
Quote:

BINGO! I am so sick of the reviews and people slamming this. Take all the other crap away and consider what he'd just done - Mace Windu was dead by his hand. Had he let Mace kill Palpatine, imagine how different things would have been. Though very upset, Mace would have likely proclaimed Anakin a "very brave lad" for his decision to reveal the Chancellor as the Lord of the Sith. Any sorrow Anakin felt would have likely been blown to mist by the thanks of the enitre Jedi Order.
But that's not what happened...
Anakin made a choice to strike down one of the most senior members of the Order for selfish reasons all his own. Think about that for a moment. Put yourself in Anakin's position. Mace is dead. It's your fault and the Jedi will discover the truth. There's no hiding from it and your long-time mentor is offering you another way. In fact, insofar as you know, everything Palpatine is saying may very well be the truth!
That was the beauty of the whole thing. Palpatine mixed just enough truth in with the lies that they became indistinguishable from each other.
Now, I do take expection to the fact of Anakin turning around and slaughtering children with his lightsaber, but I've never personally been in the grips of a Dark Side-fueled killing spree either.

Saw it last night and I was quite impressed, especially after the rubbish that was 1 and 2. I wonder why the fleet commanders dont focus fire tho, all the battleships go one on one. Eve fleet commanders>star wars captains. Also i picked up in the dialogue that good was relative (Palpatine) then Obi wan said that the Sith only deal in absolutes. Things like that bugged me for some reason . Also why didnt padme know she was having twins, ultrasound not invented in that galaxy?
Anakin was a whiny brat to but not as bad as in number 2. So anyways I have no idea what im rambling about but the fact im choosing to be irritated by small things like that (im not a star wars fanboi btw) shows it was a decent film from my pov

-Look at you, mr junior movie critic. Nobody else had a problem with going from planet to planet. It didn't bother me in the slightest, and I didnt even think about it until you brought it up.
-Pretty much the first 20 minutes of the movie was ship-to-ship combat. Its not like the other Star Wars movies were all flight sims you know. Besides, this one had a story to tell.
-I was hoping for a little more detail on Palpatines initial speech about the formation of the Empire, but what was in the film sufficed fine to get the job done. The story wasn't about that, it was about Anakin turning to the Dark Side. Read the book, it has ALOT more detail, including a great speech by Palpatine that was way to long for the movie.
-Lucas has said that he cut out an entire subplot about Padme, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa forming the Rebel Alliance, because it was to long and distracted you from the real story of Anakin's fall.
-You are on *****. The Jedi Purge was one of the coolest and most emotional parts of the movie. It was practically perfect.
The movie you want would have been 4 hours long and dragged horribly, then you would be here whining "It was to long and boring!".

gotta saw I loved it.
And THANK YOU to Sochin for being someone with some sense about the film.
Ofc there are bit I thoughts werent brillient, but then what film is perfect?
IMO the main problem with the film was that it there was too much stuff goin on and it was crammed in and didnt have enough detail for my liking, eg General Grievous was made too look very crap, despite being a "jedi killer". But this was becuase Windu buggered him up a bit before hand which isnt shown on the film. (I think)
The jedi killing was horrible for me, simply becuase I didnt want it to happen, the acting and storyline bit was great.
Palpatine, isnt the best fighter, and he isnt ment to be. He is a great mannipulator and uses other force powers such as the lightning and throwing things.
Obi-wan is able to defeat anakin because he is calm and collected. Anakin is all over the place, his mind is in pieces, and he is having "delusions of grandur". When he is calmed and collected he is able to beat obi-wan easily (hence in ep 4)

Probably the same reason they don't use Force Lightning. They probably figure that it would be dangerously close to the Dark Side to do so.
I don't think the Jedi are supposed to use the Force in such direct ways to kill people. They could probably simply crush your skull with their minds, but that would be using the Dark Side.

Actually when palpentine is speaking to anakin hes talking about powers that jedi cant teach him. Maybe all the evil stuff is sith secrets or something

Movie was great story was fine, special effects were cool , acting was non exsistant except Palpatine but even Ian Mc diarmad looked pained as he splurtted out Lucas's rubbish script. Same with Obi wan, also I kept noticing Ewan mc gregors face looked weird in some of the shots like it was CGI enhanced or something.
Honestly the teletubbies could have done a better acting job than most of the cast, especially as Anakin, I can see it now Black Teletubbie (la la your dead ) tremendus applause and the oscar gos to...
As Harrison Ford said " you can write this **** george but you can't act it " that was 20 years ago you think lucas would have copped on and hired a proper screen writer, its not like he is short of cash, hell the guy who wrote troops would have done.

I will put some things to rest.
Palpatines greatest strength was to enhance his servants mentaly through the force. After he died the Imperial Navy which out numbered the Rebel alliance at Endor even after the Executor and Death Star blew by 5-1 was massacred and sent reeling en route.
The emperor put the image of padme dying into Anakins head and orchestrated the whole bloody thing.
Only thing I thought was crap was Mace Winduu putting two and two together and not being more on gaurd when Anakin showed up. Secondly Mace realistically wouldhave been more like Jules from Pulp Fiction, I was waiting for Samuel L. to scream "Yo GONNA DIE MOTHAFU**A" and stab Palpatine then take off Anakins good hand for disobeying his orders.
Also any time Yoda fought back the Emperor ran like a scared biatch and beat the heck out of Palpatine. Yoda can absorb and send bounce force lightining back as shown in Ep 2 and 3 so don't blame Palpatine for not pursuing the fight he would have been pwned.Also Force Lightning aside remember the tossing of the podiums, not only did our "Little Green Friend" catch one in mid flight he put a nice little spin on it and sent it flying back.
After the Jedi were killed a piece of Yoda snapped though I think the consequences of said thing happening were to watered down. But then again Lucas wasn't shooting for a R rating.
Please stop being a third rate flamer,I am tired of reactivating my account just to kick your ass. |

Tbh, I liked episode I.
II lacked coherence.
II lacks a storyline and has some really idiotic twists.

-Lucas has said that he cut out an entire subplot about Padme, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa forming the Rebel Alliance, because it was to long and distracted you from the real story of Anakin's fall.
-You are on *****. The Jedi Purge was one of the coolest and most emotional parts of the movie. It was practically perfect.
He didn't cut hard enough, Padme was still referred to as the leader of the opposition, what, which, she was the leader of the Separatists? We all know she wasn't the leader of the Republic.
Also the purge of the jedi was too outright and bland, they were all confronted in the battlefield, there should've been more assassinations, blown up ships and buildings from which they could never have defended themselves. That's how I imagined the sith taking over, not by matching the jedi saber to saber and then some, that was just the cheese.

Ignore the turds... the movie kicked arse, if you love Star Wars go and see it, perfect finale to the saga in my opinion.
Bloody fantastic... and i almost peed my pants at the end because i was dying for the toilet for half the fecking film after consuming almost two litres of coca-cola in the first 5 mins, and didn't want to miss any of it.
The film was everything i hoped for and more... and if you watch 1, and 2 before going to see it... then 4,5,and 6 after coming home... it just makes it kick so much more arse.
It ties up all the loose ends running into episode 4... and gives an emotional and evil look at how skywalker becomes vader...
Kicked arse imo.

Padme was referred to as the "leader of the opposition" in Attack of the Clones, NOT Revenge of the Sith. In that movie, she was leading a group of Senators who were opposed to the "Military Creation Act", which built up an army for the Republic. She thought that the Separtists could be handled diplomatically. She was actually very wrong. Read the ROTS novelization if you want more info on the founding of the Rebel Alliance.
Once again we're talking about making the movie much longer for little reason. Nobody wants to watch a 30 minute montage of Jedi getting slaughtered, its redundant. You don't know **** about pacing a movie.
