Yup, saw it finally. . . And It Was Great!!!

Those critics were wrong, it was a great fantastic movie, it just slowed down during all of the talkative scenes. But the best parts were the begining with Obi and Anakin in starfighters that resemble Tie fighters weaving in and out of destroyers and reckage... down to the end were Obi and Anakin battle it out on the lava planet... perhaps the best light battle I've seen in the series. And boy, the fight between the Chancellor and Yoda in the Senate, was the best Yoda fight scene yet. Also they manage to get the comic parts right again when you see R2 waddleing to a hiding place, while holding a com to Obi, while two droids hunt him down; all at the same time, obi wan trying to tell r2 to fixe the lifts. You just have to see it yourselves.

Although AMC Frisco didn't get the copies ready on tuesday, I still got to see it 5 hours before anyone else. I just yerned to go up to the waiting lines after the movie, just 2 hours before 12, and yell out, "Ha ha haa! I saw it 5 hours early, suckers!!" but out of fear of loosing my job, and the fact that they let the fanboys into the theaters already, I didn't do it.

Man, what a great ending to the series. Its the movie in the pre-trilogy that we've all been waiting for.




You know, I've actually got nothing to say

Haven't seen it yet, but it did get some good reviews earlier. A.O. Scott (who is usually a complete nitpicky hard ass) from the NYTimes said it was the best of the four movies directed by Lucas (which includes Ep4 A New Hope). That's a big claim. Also, he said this:

? quoting A.O. Scott:
"Revenge of the Sith," which had its premiere here yesterday at the Cannes International Film Festival, ranks with "The Empire Strikes Back" (directed by Irvin Kershner in 1980) as the richest and most challenging movie in the cycle. It comes closer than any of the other episodes to realizing Mr. Lucas's frequently reiterated dream of bringing the combination of vigorous spectacle and mythic resonance he found in the films of Akira Kurosawa into American commercial cinema.

I saw it yesterday, and I think it's the best part of the new trilogy.

Positive
  • Special Effects, as usual
  • The dialogue Anakin has with Palpatine
  • Final Fight
  • Yoda Fight
  • Attack on Kashyyk (Wookie-Planet)
  • Music !
Negative
  • Some dialogues are still cheesy. Spoiler (highlight): The part where Anakin screams Nooooooo when windu is ready to strike palpatine ... come on.(End Of Spoiler)
  • The very end of the film is a bit too quickly done. They just quickly arrange everything so episode 4 follows smoothly.

Well, it's true. It's way better then A New Hope and, obviously, better then I and II.

I just saw it two hours ago.

Some say that the dialogue were intentionally made bad, to better fit into the "Saturday matinee" genre that Lucas originally envisioned.

I think that's just a lame excuse for poorly written lines.

But it's satisfying, nevertheless. Ewan McGregor was a very good Obi Wan, but Christenson was a bad choice for Anakin. It's too late to right the wrongs.

Well...

Really!? I never eat or drink during a movie. I find that very distracting. When I watch a film, I want to devote my full attention to the whole experience.

It's like eating popcorn and snacking on things when you play Half-Life 2. It's just not compatible for me. Besides, that could get you killed in game.

I cannot view a theater movie without a popcorn and a lemonade. The experience is just blah without them. *shrugs*

Eating requires no attention to accomplish. If it does for you Satch, I advise you to not be one of those drivers who do distracting things while operating a motor vehicle.

Yeah, watching people getting burned alive should qualify as an adult experience.

It's so dark, and it's so sad. I identify with Anakin.

I agree with this entirely... only 1 thing "spoiler:" anikin's lines when he was in the Darh Vader outfit "is padime okay?" thats not how darth vader speaks. Plus his "nooooo" in the end wasnt powerful enough IMO, it could have been more dramatic."end spoiler"
Other than that I enjoyd the film, it was nice to see many things getting tied up, like you would see ships in the original three in "spoiler:" The Melenium Falcon!"end spoiler"
Great film, go and see it!

spoiler, of course:
Omega, a group of friends and I thought he should have just dropped to his knees instead of yelling no. Because that was probably the worst part of the movie.

Holy crap, Hayden Christensen can act. And he has the nerve to be really good at it as well.

Despite the odd hiccup (almost always a crap line delivered in a wooden manner), an absolutely brilliant movie. I can't really compare it to the original trilogy, because it feels like a very different movie to me. Dark as f**k. The last hour or so is masterful storytelling.

I thought it would have been better if Hayden Christensen (sp?) wasn't a s**tty actor. Every time he spoke, or was on screen, he pissed me off. I also think that some shots should have toned down the CG. Sure it's nice, but it just detracts from the movie sometimes.

I thought it was a great movie, but doesn't compare to 4 5 and 6 in my book.
