Star Wars Episode III - Page 8

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-26-2005, 02:40 AM

I watched it again. It's now my favorite movie. It finally felt like Star Wars, and justifies the existence of the first two. I love it so much it's crazy.

Honestly, I don't think there is a single thing they could have done better. They restored my faith.

*The Stryker* · 05-26-2005, 03:28 AM

My only problem was the Lightsaber fights, Yes they were more athletic and crazy but there isn't much emotion in it. In the OT thats what made the Fights great. They furthered the plot while delivering an action scene.

but its still a kick-ass movie.

*Anarky* · 05-26-2005, 06:58 AM

Okay, Star Wars is now officially going on my nerves. I can't hear that blasted theme anymore, I just can't. All this bloody advertising. I mean, the film was rather good. Nothing spectacular, but good. And now this. "Get your Burger King drinking cup - Star Wars drinking cup", "Inflatable lightsabers in every Kellogg's box", "Star Wars Kids Meal", "Star Wars this", "Star Wars that"...

It just annoys me.

*Brodie* · 05-26-2005, 03:26 PM

Anarchists annoy me.

I smell a burnnnnnnn.

Ha. Joking.

*Anarky* · 05-26-2005, 04:05 PM

Well, you know, it's not the movie that annoys me, it's the damn merch flood coming with it. I mean, what does Anakin Skywalker have to do with breakfast cereal? Absolutely nothing. And they all use the same damned piece of music.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-26-2005, 04:40 PM

It's all about official Palpatine toilet brushes.

*Brodie* · 05-26-2005, 05:09 PM

....I bought one of those...

Wow, welcome to the world of marketing. What the hell does anything have to do with breakfast cereal? What did Shrek have to do with a KIA or Holiday Inn, or Spider-Man have to do with brushing your teeth? It's like this for every big movie.

*Anarky* · 05-26-2005, 06:24 PM

PaaaPaaaa Papapapaaapaaa...

I bet Lucas would love that thing.

Marketing? Never heard of that... tell me more. What bugs me is the amount of merch there is. There's everything and it needs to be shown every single damned comercial break. That's what annoys me. Merchandise, OK. Movie, OK. Comercials, No way.

**GK Punk** · 05-26-2005, 07:04 PM

Well Anarky, they actually did all of that with the original Trillogy as well.
After seeing Ep 3 multiple Times, I like it ALOT more.

Aayla's death still bothers me though.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-27-2005, 01:12 AM

Because she just fell over and had her corpse used for target practice?

*Brodie* · 05-27-2005, 08:42 AM

And really, can it even be considered target practice if it doesn't move?

*That Matt Guy* · 05-27-2005, 09:43 AM

Stormtroopers can't hit moving targets.

That'd explain why Luke and co flying the Millennuim Falcon never got hit. Amazing. So, after all, it wasn't the Corellian Tech that made the Falcon the awesome spaceship it is.

Mandi-chan · 05-30-2005, 05:49 PM

I just got back from seeing it! That was so worth it! I loved it, it was much better than the other two. I want more! Yoda kicked ass, and Anakin's actor did MUCH better this time (he got cuter too

).

Was I the only one deeply disturbed by the part where Anakin apparently kills the little kids, we didn't see it happen but still....oh no!

Best line in the entire movie: "Not If something to say about it, I have"~Yoda~

Totally. They made her seem so useless, but she's not. (Going off the comics that is) It would have been nice to see her atleast cut one Storm Trooper down.

...Although her coprse being used for target practice was pretty damn funny

*Mecha Cow* · 05-31-2005, 04:14 PM

Wow, that movie was pretty. And absolutely nothing more.

I really wanted to like this movie, and I guess I did. I sat through two and half hours of it, and I was entertained. But looking back on it, it was a pretty mediocre film.

Wait, I was supposed to feel for Anakin, right? For the tragic noble hero who turns to the Dark Side for his lover...Who he tries to kill after a little disagreement? Well, oops. I didn't. And I don't think Hayden Christensen did either. The dude couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Maybe he could, but he sure as hell wasn't trying. I didn't care about what happened to Anakin, because he was a wooden puppet. I didn't feel bad for him because he was a whiny, angsty little puppet with a messed up set of morals.

'Kill him.'
'It's against the Jedi ways.'
'Kill him now.'
'But...Aww man, it's, like...No...Man.'
'KILL HIM!'
'...Man...Fine.'
ZHAAACK!
'...What have I done...?!'

F*ck you, Pinocchio Skywalker.

He was a loser, plain and simple. I didn't feel bad for him, he got what he deserved. He massacred an entire temple of children in the hope of saving his lover. Then a little bit later, he tries to kill her because she was crying. And instead of giving up on that idiot, she 'loses the will to live', even after witnessing the birth of her own damn children. Way to go, Lucas. Kudos on the people skills.

But as awesome as that all was, nothing beats 'Order 66'. You know, where the human soldiers are ordered by a guy they barely knew or even trusted to kill the people they had been fighting beside for the past three years. Also worth noting is that they do so without even flinching. I don't want to hear any 'But they were clones! They were programmed to follow orders!' nonsense, they were HUMAN, and part of the most idiotic piece of filmmaking I've ever seen (*E* I mean this in regard to the scene, not so much the entire movie).

Whatever. I'm not even going to b*tch about the pathetic 'lovescenes' ('No, it's because I'm so in love with you!') or the droids who scream in pain. At least Jar-Jar kept quiet.

To be fair, as much sh*t as I just gave it, it was a fun night at the theatre, with impressive special effects and great performances by Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Frank Oz. It wasn't neccesarily a bad movie, it was just in my honest opion not very interesting behind all the CGI, and that's a real shame.

*Spitfire* · 05-31-2005, 05:11 PM

Hahaha this is great
Dont read this unless you've seen the movie

Peanut · 05-31-2005, 05:38 PM

That sucked.
