Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith...

well we've been away so long...i so wanted to start a thread about this a while back, and fortunately i have the Galactic Senate forums for my Star Wars discussions...

anyway

I thought it was awesome...over too quickly, a little rushed and 'convenienent' at the end...but it worked well and tied the SAGA together neatly..and had some really cool and funny bits in it that made the darkness a little better - R2 D2 anyone...the best 'silent' comic actor ever???

Agreed with R2 D2, definately on par with filmmaking's best silent actors, for some strange reason... well, even though he wasn't silent, he wasn't legible either.

All in all, I felt that the third one, THANK GOD, was good with maybe one or two faults. I was extremely pleased with how the flow of the movie, coupled with the presentation of background knowledge, now makes the sequels make complete sense. Try watching A New Hope again, and I think you'd agree.

In final, I consider it the 2nd best out of the 6, behind Empire... but that's just my thoughts.

to be honest i thought it was a crock of shit

and i really, really was wanting to like it - maybe i've become too disillusioned by the earlier 2 epsiodes

a definite case of style over substance and for fuck's sake why didn't someone stand up to lucas and say "well, um george, don't you think you've got enough CGI now..." at some early stage of production

and as for anakin's descent into the dark side - jesus!

- your wife may be going to die and i may be able to teach you how to save her if you join the dark side.

- um, well ok. sounds good to me. suppose i better go off and kill a load of kids then...

i'm trying my best to erase all memory of these prequels from my memory but i fear my enjoyment of the originals will be forever tainted now

ah well

M'eh -- that's like missing the forest because there are too many trees in the way.

figured all of the hubbub over ep3 failed spectacularly here when the board went down on its release.

i thought it was great, i'm back to admiring lucas everytime i see his once depressing mug on television.

but, and i know a big deal has been made of it in a million other places, but

i love you
only because you're beautiful
no, i love you because you're beautiful
i love you too for you are beautiful
only because you are love that i beautiful you so much

all i can compare that riff with is autistic tennis. oh man.

and also anakin was a retard (with far better acting this time round though), any donut with critical thinking skills can reject that nonsense from palpatine, but no, anakin has to full on convert to the dark side in a fit of PMS.
the 'noooooooo' bit was blown out of proportion though. it makes sense if you think that it's still anakin in that suit and not DARTH "FUCKING" VADER

but again, i enjoyed it greatly...twice.
but i do want a board game of WHERE IS PADME.

and then palpatine tells him that he killed Padme with his anger, which is pretty much a driving necessity for the dark side.
instead of screaming frustration he should have up and castrated him for such an outright contradiction.

yeah Anakin's decent to darkness was lame...but i think it was inevitable after the detah of his mother rather than the 'supposed' preminsion of death of his wife...

but that was a bit lame all in all...

Palaptine was great though...

"hello my green freind"

i feel that people who don't seem to like ROTS were definitely 'tainted' by the other two movies...

but i'm sorry guys - you all have to get over the idea of Trilogies and the prequels...

its one long Saga now...and hating one episode - you hate the entire essence of the SAGA...its like skipping a chapter in a book...all the episodes are there and all are necessary to the 'sense' of the Star Wars experience...

(ps: can we have some Star Wars Smilies?)

ROTS was much better than the first two although that's not difficult. Most of the issues I had with it have already been mentioned but I let a lot of it wash over me cos Lucas sucks the big one at writing dialogue etc. Did love R2's little comedy moments

Guess I'd give it a 6.5/10?

first classic quotation of the new generation!!!

bits were great - i loved grevious and his lightsabres - plot was good, action was fine, acting was fucking abysmal - r2d2 wants fucking melting down - how come he lost the ability to fly??????? how come he had the fucking thing in the first place? why the fuck have chewbacca? and if so, where's fucking han fucking solo? eh? eh?

still, 7/10
