SW Ep III: Thoughts?


Finished my exams today, and went to see it with a bunch of friends. Thought it was OK, although some bits were too clich�, and the acting wasn't too good here and there.

Loved the special effects, although after reading the book, the movie seemed a little rushed. Did like the movie though, found it better than Episodes I and II.

Any thoughts?

It was awsome. there's nothing more to say because I refuse to discuss star wars... it just gets messy.


bottom line, unless you get dressed up and carry around a light saber to movies, you should love this one.

QFT.

Even when I had to watch it at midnight while half asleep with some guy dressed up as Obi Wan behind me it was awesome.

It was amazing compared to I and II, but the originals were certainly better. I have always wondered why he didn't make the others after the original three.

BTW when Vader was reborn in his suite everyone clapped and w00ted.

I have to side with Chewy a bit on this one. I loved the movie except for that one scene when the newly-rebuilt Vader asks about Padme. It wasn't the staggering, that's understandable, but "NOOOOOOOOoooo" is such a cliche line, and doesn't seem like something Vader should be saying. Maybe "What have I done" or "This can't be true..." or something similar.

You're weird though. (Not to mention overly critical of everything involving starwars that isn't the original IV, V, VI.)

All in all I thought it was pretty good, sure the acting sucks - its already been established that Hayden Christensen isn't a good actor, ofcourse its pretty hard to act well when you are talking to thin air that will be replaced by a CGI robot-alien-ninja-death-doom-fuckyouall type creature (besides, hes just there to look at anyway - and OOOOHHHH do I look).

Effects and battle scenes were pretty good, but a few of the lightsaber battles seemed too quick. Order 66 scenes were very nice, ending was perfect - very reminiscent of Luke in Episode IV, Tantive IV scenes were nice. All around I would say it ties with my other favorite (Episode VI - I really don't see what people see in Episode V, its long and boring and all it has going for it is the lightsaber duel).

Kinda sad its all over theater-wise really, can't wait for the TV series though.

Bah, I admit I'm a bit of an OT Purist... there were a couple of scenes in RoTS that really made me cringe, but I won't name them... Revenge of the Sith comes close to the Original Trilogy, though...

Over all i thought it was preaty good, that acting definently could have been better, I loved watching Yoda kick storm/clone trooper ass "Oh shit, a little green blur just stabed me in the face" I think the only real exception to the bad acting may be Obiwan, he seemed to fit right, some undeniably good guy and yet badass at the same time.

I thought the space battle was preaty cool especialy how things didn't exactaly just explode but the bits kept on traveling forward, including bodies that may have been recently alive inside.
