Honestly, I got NOTHING from those two... but maybe that was intended... trying to show a rift forming despite their love for eachother???
I dunno... |
wow...ok, the only thing I found overly corny was the "hold me like you did at the lake on Naboo" and the "I love you too much. No I love you so much" crap. Granted, those were horrible lines...but Georgie writes it...they just act it out. But come on people...honestly, I may be alone here, but the Anakin/Padme exchange before their big duel (and subsequent Obi wan/Anakin exchange force choking Padme) was one of the best sequences in the entire trilogy. I agree with Halo...this one, unlike the last two, deserves a place among the originals for the last 1/3 of the movie alone.
But to be honest, I would have done things differently to start with. They should have started the prequels with Anakin as an older teenager (preferably 18-20) and had the romance with Padme start right away. Another thing was that George used up his villains too quickly. A great character (darth maul) was wasted...a great actor (Christopher Lee) was wasted. Another potentially cool character in General Grevious was too much of an afterthought. Anakin defeating a villain they had tangled with since Episode 1 would have been much better than killing off Dooku within 3 minutes. Obviously...Jar Jar was a huge mistake as well. And I think I would have had Darth Vader in the suit for much longer...possibly taking out Jedi like Mace Windu in the suit. ANother thing is...some of the casting wasn't very good. Liam Neeson was great but he was wasted in one movie. Wouldn't it have been better to just start with Obi wan training Anakin? Sam jackson is a great actor but he was usually dull in these movies. I think Keith David would have been a better Mace Windu.
Also, it would have been nice for Lucas to have recruited Gary Kurtz (producer on Star wars and Empire) and Lawrence Kasdan to help him flesh out the scripts (he did Empire and Jedi). Kershner, who directed Empire, is probably too old, but a more skilled director willing to work with Lucas (and point out his faults and bad ideas) would have benefitted this trilogy.
