SW Ep III: Thoughts?

jsloan31 · 2005-05-20, 07:30 AM

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.

Least you didnt have a damn wookie who hadnt showered in a week next to you. And yea I thought it was good but I dunno, because I knew what was gonna happen too much mystery was taken away.

Haha... I definately thought it was better tahn Episodes I and II. I personally don't think it was as good as Episodes IV, V, or VI, though.

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.

Really? I thought the post-op scene was pretty lame...

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.

He said that after defeating master Windu (sp?) if I remember correctly, what would be the point of him saying it again?

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.

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo!" *Tries to stand again* "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" *breaks off table like hulk* "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo ooo!" *all the bottles in the room shatter*

Electrofreak · 2005-05-20, 11:09 PM

exactly.

ChewyLSB · 2005-05-20, 11:14 PM

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.
