Make a better film than The Ring 2, BKB.

Good luck.

The worst lines in the entire script were cut.

Those lines are Anakin's little comedy routine as he cuts down the Separatist Leader.

Nute: "Lord Sideous told us we would be left in peace!"
Anakin: "He meant "leave you in pieces"!"

rawr!

I can live with "You're so beautiful", "It's because I'm so in love" "No because I'm so in love with you!" partially because it looks like the actors are trying so damn hard.

Don't fight it.

*passes the lube*

Um.

Where is the damn throwing up emoticon?

We got a frickin' emoticon for a *lightsabre fight* and I can't find the upchuck one?

Libs, just type the following:

"dolce... R2-D2 is so much better than c3P0, you BITCH!"

do it with feeling.

I fell asleep through 30 minutes of it.

The editing was horrible.

Far and away the best movie of the prequels.

***1/2

A-

It was only a B for the first hour due to the slowness and bad acting, then it took off, and when it did, it was one of the best 1.5 hours I've experienced in a theater. The last hour was just breathtaking. At the end, I was deciding between a B+ and A-, and I asked myself if it is "almost perfect" or just "memorable," as the Yahoo grade level suggested. I found my answer is that this is as good as a Star Wars movie can be. The issue with acting and dialog will always be there, but the experience is very satisfying. One has to consider its audience and not judge all the aspects the same. This is A level movie.

It set up the foreshadowing "So love has blinded you?" line so I'm okay with it even if it was slightly cringe-ish. I'm just thankful Jar Jar said nothing, all other SW lines are Pulp Fiction in comparison to his.

Overall, this movie was bloody awesome. I thought the "oh-so-bad acting and dialogue" was miles better than the last two, so perhaps there's just no pleasing some people... A.



236 EXT. DAGOBAH-DAY

A small escape pod hurls toward the swamp planet and disappears in the mist. The pod has landed, and YODA descends the ramp, surveying the unfamiliar terrain.

That bumps it up two grades?

Well for starters, I never would of made a sequel to The RING and just left it as a stand alone film which Hollywood can't seem to do anymore..

That's good.. Lucas should've left that scene intact and it would've received an "A" from me, but for now, a "B+" is still a fantastic grade..

A-. The movie isn't flawless, and some moments are really unnecessary and silly, but the enjoyment factor was quite high, hence the grade.

Sure, the dialouge was cheesy, the acting was less then believable, and the editing was a wee bit off, but for gods sake- IT WAS STAR WARS!!!

As a non Star Wars fan, i thought the movie was OK. The middle part was the best. I loved that is is dark. but really, it is just to cheesy to take seriously or to appreciate it as great film making. a good popcorn movie at best. B for me. it is more the experience of watching it with die hard fans than the actual movie itself.

I don't think there was much cheese in thsi film at all. Sure, the romacne stuff is still a little weak, but the rest was pure excellence. Anakin's decent to the dark side was perfect and the rest was awesome as well. Oh well, just opinions.

Well, I went to see it again for a second time and it was even better this time around (Though that's probably because I saw it on a much bigger screen). On a bigger screen (And in the 3rd row), the lightsaber fights are much more vivd and enjoyable to watch. Also, I still do not think that the acting is bad at all. In fact, it's actually pretty good. Finally, I thought it was absolutely perfect on Lucas' part with the way he handeled Leia and Luke at the end. John Williams' score also made it very powerful.

Still an A+..........

Next weekend I will probably go see the movie again, though this time around it will be on a digital screen. Does anyone know the difference between the two versions, in terms of running time, or are they exactly the same?

Christensen is a good combination of angry but also immature...he is so clouded y personal things that he doesn;t see the bigger picture. He takes the fear he had in the first film over lsoinghis mother and places that on Padme, so he reactiosn and behavior are often very immature. Plus he love ofr Pdame is immature, he fell in love with her back when he was slave...its more infatuationt hen love. She is really the only girl asdei from his motehr he gets to know in an intimate setting, he behves around here alot likea teenager. On the one hand he runs these adult jedi missions, on the other hand socially he still kind of child who has never learned to let things go. It works for me.

I do think the film never establishes why she loves him.

She loves the idea of Anakin. She loves the escape. She likes that he dominates her.

She's completely submissive. She's the exact opposite of her daughter.

How naughty.

Kid, no movie is flawless.. NO MOVIE not even LOTR was flawless and it's just now the fans are starting to realize this..

Did anyone else find it quite weird to hear those words come out of James Earl Jones' mouth?

"Is she... alright?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Its not that bad (except I think the screaming "NOOOOO" is getting kind of old) but it just seems weird to hear him say that.

Im also not all that fond of forced cameos. Chewbacca doesnt strike me as the kind of wookie who is one of the leaders of the wookies, considering he was a smuggler in the original trilogy.

But anyway, very good action, and definately the most emotionally satisfying of the three prequels. Not as good as the Original Trilogy, but comes pretty close.

(just thought I'd post a somewhat extended review of my earlier one liner.)

Which four Lord of the Rings fans gave this movie an F. Show yourselves. :wink:

Sadly, they are identical - no bonus Dagobah scene...

Ok, then let's put it this way: LOTR was less flawed than SW (Ep3).

*laughs*

She did have that bondage like dress in AOTC...damn that was hot, and the naked dress.

Christensen did have a kick ass body, that shirtless scene with the hip bones...she wants him for the sex, who wouldn;t want to fuck a jedi,it owuld be bloody amazing.

It takes more than just action to craft a good film.

While the final battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan is better than we could've hoped, the movie's screenplay is still questionable. How can you take a character, aspiring to have so much power, seriously if he speaks in cliches, screams, and "I Hate You"s. Whenever Anakin spoke, I thought of a crazy guy in front of Toys 'R Us who happened to get the wrong amount of change back.

There's a reason why screenplays are important to films. Even action movies. I can't suspend my disbelief to watch these if they're complicated and need dialogue to get by. Yeah, there's a basic story behind Star Wars, but Lucas goes further and adds a senate, a chancellor, robots, wookies, Jar Jar Binks, and a Princess. He needs to use dialogue. Good dialogue.

Fortunately, Lucas actually uses action sequences to develop something. This isn't just a man trying to prevail over a stronger man, this is a man transitioning into another man. Lucas effectively speaks through his action scenes in a way that hasn't been done before. If I can recall, only Neo's scene where he first "flies" in The Matrix Reloaded shows off a newfound ability. But, Lucas' shows Anakin's new ability, desire, and development. And, that's Revenge of the Sith's strength.

B+
