I loved the movie. To hell with reviewers, left and right. I admit there were a few stupid lines, and I thought the transition from Annakin to Darth was too rapid, but it was still a great movie.
I'll never understand the Star Wars thing.
I loved the movie. It was big and loud, had tragedy and lots of fighting. Very epic, damn the reviewers.
I was just glad that it was Ewen McGregor who had the lines that had to be delivered best. At the end, when he was yelling at Anakin "You were like my brother!!!"
It broke my heart for ObiWan. Very sad.
The movie was very operatic. And the music.
Did I say I liked the movie?
All movies appear stupid to me, although some manage to be entertaining dispite their stupidity. The only movies I can watch more than once or twice are comedies, and darn few of them.
There are two groups of Star Wars "Fans": Those who enjoy watching Star Wars Those who love to hate Star Wars
I liked the movie, too. I'll agree with some reviewers that it was better than the original Star Wars (a.k.a. Episode IV), but I'm torn as to whether it, or the other unhappy-ending episode, The Empire Strikes Back, was the best of the six.
It still suffered from Lucas not directing his two romantic leads into shape. (I guess even with dialog ghost-written by Stoppard he just wasn't up to it--good thing Christensen matured a little and Portman didn't get too much screen time.)
I'm not sure Annakin's turn to the Dark Side was too quick (after all, it was set up by his perfectly human, but un-Jedi-like revenge killing of the Tusken raiders who kidnapped, presumably raped, and killed by ill-treatment his mother).
Same here. Absolutely loved it. As for how "quick" Annakin converted to the dark side, I think in that split second where he impulsively attacked Mace Windu (for fear of Sidious' knowlege of how to save Padme being forever lost), that the floodgates just swung open and he was consumed. Had Windu been willing to take Sidious prisoner (not sure how THAT would happen!), then in my opinion he doesn't turn.
It was so stupid I had to run right home and watch the original "Star Wars" to get the Sith taste out of my mouth.
I thought it was cool. Took my 10-yr-old to see it twice. I haven't seen a movie more than once in the theater since 1977 (yup, Episode IV, seven times).
It is campy fun. Yes the acting mostly reeked. However, I was not disappointed in the injuries inflicted on Anakin. I was expecting something less, for some reason. Dang, lost both legs and an arm, then cathes on fire. Seemed pretty nasty to me (as it should have been). Also, just loved the scene when the helmet got snapped on... the deep, drawn breath... The wife, kid & I high-fived, chuckled, and said, "Yes!". It was perfect. Then the icing on the cake: hearing James Earl Jones voice. This one is right up there with IV & V, IMO. Regards, HW
Yeah, I liked it too. I liked the way it tied to the original Star Wars at the end.
