the vast majority of reviews are positive given the fact that it's being compared to EP1, and EP2 which don't exactly set the bar very high.. |
I disagree (what else is new). I'd say Ep III is on par with the old ones, and will be remembered as a great movie! |

I could in the first one, but could NOT AT ALL in this one!
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... |

Meh, you arent missing that much if u ask me.
they're fun to watch for the hype tho and if u go with your buddies.
i trully enjoyed Episode II tho... but Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman were the only reason tho. well not entirely true, i jsut LOVED that Yoda fight scene to death. it impressed the hell outta me!!!!

| The older movies were great but these last three are obviously just a cash grab and a poor attempt at a special effects laden pre-trilogy. |

Star Wars fans burnt by petrol-filled 'light sabre'
By Stewart Payne
(Filed: 24/05/2005)
A man of 20 and a girl aged 17 were engulfed in flames when a home-made Star Wars "light sabre" exploded and showered them with burning petrol.
Mark Webb and Shelley Mandiville are thought to have filled a fluorescent tube with fuel to imitate the weapons in the latest Star Wars film Revenge of the Sith, released at the weekend. But their clothing caught fire and Mr Webb suffered 40 per cent burns.
Firemen were called to woodland near Hemel Hempstead, Herts, on Sunday and found them on the ground. Police think they had been filming themselves.
Last night they were in a critical condition at a specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex.

Never been a big Star wars fan, so i watched the movie only because of the escapism factor. Acting on the most part was quite frankly terrible. The dialogue was very cliched and at some points utterly cheesy. The plot was...well, it was something that a 18 year old would think off...A young and powerful jedi is so effected by one reoccuring nightmare (and that's all it is...a fricken nightmare) that he kills a bunch of kids and goes against the people he calls his teachers. Where's the logic in that ? :rolleyes:
The special effects were good. Nice battle scenes, although the light saber fights left much to be desired. Overall, a decent movie. Better then EP1 and 2, which isn't saying much because they sucked balls.
5/10...Just cause it featured a mute jar jar binks and some cool effects.
George Lucas needs to learn how to write a story for adults...the dialogue. OMG -- did a 5 year old help him pen that trite ?
To the fans who want to find a deeper meaning in the SW films...may the force be with you - you silly muppets ! Pick up a philosophy book or something. The only thing deep about those films, is the pocket of Mr George Lucas, who's laughing all the way to the bank. :p |

You had pretty much the same thoughts on the movie that I did. No real substance to it, you can tell he just sat down one day and thought "I have an idea for a cool movie, wait a minute I did one trilogy so why don't I just make another one instead of a single movie!". |

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. |
