The previews suck, reinforcing my belief that all hollywood movies suck. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are both assassins, yet they don't know each of them is an assassin, then they have to assassinate each other.
the other movies didn't look very good either.
and then there was a baby making noise. Luckily the little bastard wasn't crying. There should be adults only theaters. Kid should not be allowed in movie theaters. I can't imagine a 2 year old being exposed to such violence. This is almost as bad as the kids who were in the theater watching Basic Instinct.
Then there was this old guy with an oxygen tank making noise (and not cool noise like Darth Vader). If you can't breathe, you shouldn't be allowed in smoky casinos (all of our movie theaters are in casinos).
and then people talking . Although I admit I only heard them during the slow parts. The other parts the movie was so damn loud, you wouldn't even hear a nuclear bomb going off. Luckily years of going to Metallica concerts has ruined my hearing already. So there's nothing left to lose.
oh yeah, the movie. I was fairly happy with the movie. This might be the best Star Wars film- ever. I think it may even be better than Empire Strikes back. Only the Star Wars Holiday Special could compare to this film in quality.
I prefer Padme over Leia anyday (though I wouldn't mind doing the mother/daughter at the same time )
Hayden Christenson was actually acceptable in this movie. I didn't care for him in Attack of the clones, but I felt he did an acceptable job in this movie. It wasn't good, but acceptable.
And he was damn sexy with the dark looks he had in this movie. If I were gay.... I just liked the dark look in his eyes during some of the parts. His facial expressions were better in this film.
Ben Kenobi was better in this film as well. Though the humour didn't work well. But he came off as a pretty cool character at the end.
The emporer was fantastic, good performance.
That one senator (the one who adopts the kid) wasn't too bad either.
C3PO and R2D2 were annoying as usual. R2 has all these funcitons that he doesn't have in later movies, I don't like that.
People say Anakin fell to the dark side too easy, but it wasn't that quick. He started falling in the last film anyways. It wasn't exactly overnight. And he loved Padme. It was plausible.
People aren't going to want to go out of their way to see Clone Wars, which explains why Grevious isn't a complete droid
Um... watching RotS shows that Grevious isn't a complete droid. Which droids have functioning lungs and a heart?

As for Anakin's turn, I thought it was fairly convincing given all the cirumstances. We know that Anakin isn't that fond of the Jedi order. He sees them as perpetraying one injustice after another on them. And then when Windu wants to contravene Jedi code to kill Palpatine, he thinks, hey, Palpy was right. The Jedi are out for their own power.
After he kills the Jedi Master, he knows he can't go back. And the only friend he has left is Palpatine... even if he is a Sith, Anakin is now convinced that the Jedi and Sith are two sides of a the same coin, looking for power by that point.
I agree, and him killing younglings isn't that unbelievable after ep 2 where he killed women and children.

I am going to miss the Star Wars genre. I love the worlds Lucas created. The last two movies, not so much. This movie, YES!
DARK, scary, and disturbing in all of the right ways that make you feel wrong. (Master Anakin whatever should we do? Fzzsh!!!)
I liked it. It was w00t! with some w00t! and an extra side serving of w00t! on the side.
Ok, ok, ok.
1) Better defined lightsabers!! You coudl see teh shape of them which eeked the hell out of me.
2) Anakin becomes VADER!- The only thing Christensen did well.
He had his eveli look, and he had it well. So well, thta he couldn't fit in anything good for Discussing crap with Obi Wan, or Romance with Padme.
3)Jar Jar- WTF? You may sya, where was he? Wasn't he in a few background shots? EXACTLY!!
4) Beginning- Beautifully done. Wonderful secucing seg int oa battle scene. The battle was pure eye candy, and briliance. I loved it.
-1) Darthenstein- WTF? Was Lucas going for some stoopid Homage? That almost ruined the netire movie for me, and totally corn balled it for everyone I know.
Lysistrata: It comes down to this: Only we women can save Greece.
Kalonike: Only we women? Poor Greece!
speaking of better defined light sabers, I'd like to see curved weapons like scimitars.
come on, I finally see the movie and no one is talking about it anymore. People seemed to be more interested in what most people call the name of the first star wars movie.

I would have liked to see some actual blood, but I know that's asking too much from a star wars film. But all these chopped off limbs and no blood...
It was a gripe I had about Fellowship of the Ring (all of them I guess). Orcs head flying off and no blood...
Did you enjoy Kill Bill vol.1?

I used to be excited by Star Wars... but then my balls dropped. Started getting excited by other things from that point onwards....
I wish that balance could have been restored by releasing "Star Wars Episode 2.5: The Conception".
The film was not convincing... a rebellion of the Jedi would not have been sufficient to destroy democracy... especially when the war had just been won. An extra element was needed... hyperinflation perhaps?
The conversion of Anakin was poorly done...
Hell... the movie was ****. There. I said it. All three of them were ridiculous. Maybe I've just grown up... or maybe I expect more from a movie. I enjoyed the first star wars films because I was a little kid and I could compensate for the films wants with my own imagination. I guess I can't do that anymore....
Another thing I hate is watching ****ed up star wars cross promotion exercize that we all have to put up with for the months that surround each movie's release!
I DON'T WANT A BLACK M&M OR A DARTH VADER HAPPY MEAL YOU GODDAMN TELEVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay... I'm checking myself into the clinic now....
