The kid in Episode 1 was no where near as annoying as his older self in Episode 2. It gets really annoying watching a giant mangina cry through the whole movie. [addsig]

I'm in such a big hype this morning,

I just received word from AMC, the theatre I work at, that Fox is actually letting more than one person see the screenings, employees only at my theatre though. Fox was being hog and sent out a report to every theatre, that ordered some copies of SWIII, that the theatres could only let one person screen each copy at a time, before the movie officially released. Why they did that, when employees at most theatres get free movies anyway, I don't know why.

This is big news for me and every other employee at the Stonebriar Mall AMC in Frisco Tx.

What all this means is that I will most likely get to see Star Wars on the Tuesday or Wednesday before the movie releases on Thursday.

Reviews are popping up all over the place. Word is that it's the best Star Wars flick since Empire.

? quote:
Revenge of the Sith doesn't really answer any questions, since we know the answers already. Anakin Skywalker is seduced to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader. Chancellor Palpatine is revealed to be Darth Sidious. The Jedi are annihilated. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda go into exile on different planets. The democratic Republic is devoured by the Empire. Instead of answers, what we gain from watching Revenge of the Sith is details. These events come to life and we are presented with the opportunity to understand the particulars of each event. The jigaw puzzle is complete. In the process, Vader has been humanized in a way that even the ending of Return of the Jedi was unable to accomplish. It will not be possible to watch the original trilogy in the same way again. Revenge of the Sith changes everything. It invests so much else in the light saber duel between Obi-Wan and Vader in A New Hope and shifts the dynamic surrounding the Emperor's attempted seduction of Luke in Return of the Jedi. It's during that titanic struggle that Anakin finally emerges as the Chosen One and returns balance to the Force.

...

It's necessary to say a word or two about Darth Vader. After all, Revenge of the Sith shows us the birth of one of the 20th century's most iconic villains. By avoiding excessive reverence, Lucas makes the first appearance of the black mask and costume a moment of profound sadness. In that moment, we aren't so much experiencing the emergence of Vader as we are seeing the final death throes of Anakin. And, while there's an admitted thrill to hearing the voice of James Earl Jones, the content of some of Jones' lines is unlike anything we have previously heard from the voice-box of Vader. Not all eyes will be dry by the end of Revenge of the Sith. It has an emotional kick that no Star Wars film other than The Empire Strikes Back has achieved.

One of my favourite critics' take on the movie; I tend to agree with him a lot.

I'd have to agree, the reason the first 2 episodes were terrible is because they were simply trying to fill a void that was already hard to fill. 3 will be a lot better because it finishes the void and Lucas can finally go all out and release wht ever is left from the Star Wars story, instead of useing it sparsly to lapse it into thre prequalls. But again, Lucas finally accepts full co-directorship with Spielburg. The last time they teamed up, we got to experience the Indiana Jones movies.

Hopefully their combined creativity will produce a memorable and spectacular conclusion to the pre-trilogy.

Ouch! Brace yourself if you haven't read this scathing review from The Rolling Stones about Episode III. It makes it sound like a movie enjoyed only by the blind and deaf.

Of course, I'm still watching it, but I just won't keep my expectation up.

I've said this before, but here I go again.

Thanks to the fact I work at AMC theatres, I will be seeing Star Wars Episode III on May 17 or 18 at the employees only screening.

Since when has Rolling Stone held any sort of credibility? :P

ahhhh I just watched ep1 today (haven't seen it since it came out at the cinema agesss ago and needed to refresh my memory) and although you can plainly see that the plot is pretty thin I think it is made up by the incredible amount of cheese you get.
