Revenge Of the Sith (Spoilers)
 
Overall.....that was awesome....

When That Helmet came down and sealed......awesome moment......

The moment that really ties in the two trilogies is hearing James Earl Jones's voice say "Where is Padme?"

After that there were no trilogies, there was a saga.

All the little sayings, and visuals that tie the two trilogies together.....it was awesome....

Though really not a fan of General Grievous..... just :n: to that character.

Jordan 05-18-2005 06:03 PM

The only beef I had with the movie was the lame dialouge and the bad acting. Sam L. Jackson was really bad as well as James Earl Jones "NOOOO!!!!!". That was lame. But other than that it rivals the originals. I really enjoyed the CGI, the fight scene, Anakin and Palpatine were fucking great though.

Real Deal 05-18-2005 06:11 PM

I think personally bad dialouge comes hand and hand with star wars. Though.....Those first one or two scenes of Anakin and Padme are woeful....

Bad acting....well yeah wasn't great. Though Hayden and Ewan did an alright job this time around...

UmbrellaCorporation 05-18-2005 06:15 PM

Going to see it at midnight tonight. Can't wait. :love:

Shadow 05-18-2005 06:17 PM

They all die. There...I saved you from 2 boobless hours.

I'll use my imagination and envision titties on Darth Vader. :shifty:

mitchables 05-19-2005 12:32 AM

Yeah I loved it. Hayden managed to act a little bit this time around - the scene just after Obi Wan has cut off Anakin's legs was crazy, both Ewan and Hayden were excellent in it.

Only gripes:

1. No Han Solo :(
2. Vader's AWFUL "NOOOOOOOOOOO" after the death of Padme, and
3. Yoda's random mentioning of Qui Gon to Obi Wan, with NO RESOLUTION WHATSOEVER. What was the point, really.

Other than that, the movie was insane. I went to the midnight screening, people were cheering at the start and end, it was excellent. Didn't know R2 was so versatile. :heart:

mitchables 05-19-2005 12:34 AM

Also, yeah, General Grievous irked me a bit. Didn't really explain how he went from coughing, wheezing hunchback to four-armed harbinger of shit-ruining, but that's all good.

road doggy dogg 05-19-2005 04:10 AM

Wow, that movie fucking owned fase. Excellent.

I agree with no Han though. SAD IN THE PANTS. NO LANDO EITHER ASFD. Though I guess there were enough black guys in the movie to make up for it.


Hot movieeeeeeeeeeeee. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I'd watch episode IV right now :rant:

McLegend 05-19-2005 04:21 AM

Yeah have to agree with everyone so far very good movie.

Also it's very fast paced doesn't let up at all.

Also Ewan and the Emperor(don't know his real name) stole the show IMO.

Boondock Saint 05-19-2005 04:44 AM

Yeah it was good times. Def. the best of the new ones.

Since this is a spoiler thread, Anakin killing those kids was a :eek: moment. And him getting burned was sweet.

As someone else said, all the little touches (TIE fighter shaped ships, Emperor's physical appearance etc) was cool.

Wouldn't Han have been really young to even have been in this movie? I don't think he'd have any reason. I think I read that Lucas did try to work him into an early draft but just saw no place for it. But it's cool knowing now that Yoda and Chewie are old friends. :D Anyone else catch the Millenium Falcon towards the beginning?

Overall definitly worth seeing.

BCWWF 05-19-2005 04:57 AM

I thought it was real good. I watched episode 2 before seeing it and it was 100 times better.

What I liked about it:
-I thought it lead into the second trilogy great
-Anakin was finally a respectable actor

Things I didn't like:
-The light saber battles are no longer sword fights, they are too choppy and up close
-I wanted Coruscant (spell) to be blown up or something, it was just the focus of the first three movies and then it only appears at the very end of Return of the Jedi in the new editions.

I can't think right now, I liked the movie a lot though, I will come back tomorrow and point out more little things I liked and disliked, but overall I think its the best of the trilogy by far.

BCWWF 05-19-2005 04:57 AM

BTW, there were so many nerds per capita at our midnight showing it was unbeliavable

BCWWF 05-19-2005 05:01 AM

ALSO, Yoda was amazing in it

The reason you don't see Coruscant in Eps 4-6 really is because the action all takes place in the outer rims of the Empire. Places like Tattooine, Hoth, Dagobah and Endor. No reason to go to Coruscant. It has always been regarded as the 'capital' of the galaxy, even though you didn't see it.

I think that was more about the actual power to do that, to explain in the last movie when Luke can see Yoda, Anakin, and Obi Wan.

Dave Youell 05-19-2005 11:13 AM

My only gripes are the stuff they cut out

Liam Neison (sp?) actually did some lines and acted a few scenes so the ending would make more sense

And they filmed Yoda getting to that other planet and why he decided to go there (a sith lord used to live there so the dark side of the force would cloak his presence there)

Other than that I can't complain about it, it was just fantastic, i'm glad they went down the 12a route, hell looking at Ani at the end could have even warrented a 15!

Nowhere Man 05-19-2005 03:03 PM

Saw the midnight show opening night. Absolutely fantastic movie.

Yeah, a lot of the dialogue sucked, and that "NOOOOOOOOO!" was corny as hell, but I'll forgive that since practically everything else about the movie rocked. Just makes me wonder where the hell Lucas was during I and II.

slextremely 05-19-2005 06:40 PM

Awesome! Number 2 on my list behind ESB. This actually felt like Star Wars to me. Hayden was waaay better, and it was sooo much darker than i thought it would be.
Some scenes that were great to me:
1. Order 66, the clone troppers killing the jedi.
2. The duels of course.
3. Anakin killing the younglings, this actually made me sick...
4. Vader burning wow!
5. Vader geting suited up with the twins being born.
6. And what made me really believe Anakin had lost it, he chokes padme :eek: i did'nt see that coming.
10/10

swimming in his pool of money

Shaggy 05-19-2005 08:02 PM

I would have to say it was the Worst Star Wars Movie ever......

Im not saying it was really really horrible but it was like 30 min of greatness....2 hrs of crap.

There was alot of cheasy dialogue in the movie that made me just want to kill my self....

Maybe it wasnt the lines it self but the way the actors said it..

Padme: "Hold Me Anakin...Hold me Like you did by the lake of Naboo blah blah blah blah blah"

Cheasy....

Atleast the fight scene in the end was good. Thats what everyone way paying for anyways. That and seeing Yoda fight once again before he becomes his old hobbit self.

Agreed. But he'll put that in 20 yrs from now in Revenge of the Sith: Special Edition.

Dialogue was crap. Palpatine ruled. Greivous was a wuss... he should have been like the cartoon version in terms of intimidation. Fighting was totally unrealistic but not bad. Romance sucked. A little bit of tightening would have been welcome. Yoda fighting ruled. The end should have featured Obi Wan on a speeder speeding into the sunset with Owen and Beru watching on, holding baby Luke.

Who, as we've finally found out, is the older one.



Love the throwback scenes... Organa, Obi Wan, and Yoda walking down the hall of the same ship that Leia was captured in in Ep IV. The end, with the Star Destroyer, old uniforms, Vader and Palpatine, and Moff Tarkin (looked like).

Best out of the prequels by far, but not sure how it ranks with the original. Empire is still the best, followed by Jedi and A New Hope, but 2nd and 3rd are really close, as is this.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-19-2005 09:50 PM

I haven't seen it, but who killed Samuel L?

Shaggy 05-19-2005 11:06 PM

Palpatine did it....with a hand (ha ha ha) from Anakin....yea not funny

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-19-2005 11:08 PM

Shoulda been Boba Fett

The Answer 05-20-2005 12:41 AM

Great movie and without a doubt the best one I've seen in quite a while.

loopydate 05-20-2005 01:10 AM

This was a fantastic movie. I only have a couple of gripes before I get to the greatness:

Gripes
1) The Wookiees really didn't do much. I was hoping that Chewbacca would kill the clones that turned on Yoda, just to kind of cement his badassness.

2) The romantic dialogue was still pretty bad. Better than Ep 2, though.

3) I wasn't wild about Padme naming the twins. Just seemed...forced.

4) Palpatine killed the Jedi (aside from Mace) WAAAAAAY too easily.

Okay, now the good stuff!

<ul>
<li>The saber battles were well-choreographed.
<li>I liked that the representative of (I forget the name of) the planet where Grievous is hiding out wasn't a bad guy. I thought it was a nice change of pace to have this scary dude being held hostage by the Separatists.
<li>The scene where Anakin goes into the temple was terrifying. Particularly when the kids are so thrilled to see him, but you know why he's really there...
<li>TARKIN CAMEO!
<li>I like that scene at the end where Yoda is telling Obi-Wan about communicating with the dead. Without having to show anything, it segues nicely into Eps. IV-VI.
<li>There are still some unanswered questions. Was Sidious Pelagus' apprentice? If so, did he create Anakin in Shmi?
<li>Anakin's descent into the Dark Side actually made sense! He didn't just turn for some random reason, like I was afraid he might. They actually used his line from Ep. II where he tells Padme that he's going to become so powerful that he can stop people from dying.
<li>It was eery how much Ewan McGregor looked/sounded/acted like Alec Guinness at times.
<li>Palpatine was scary. as. hell.
<li>The look on Dooku's face when he realized he had just been betrayed.
<li>The Neimoidian begging for his life before Anakin slices him open.
</ul>

Yeah, I could just go on forever, so I'll stop there.

But I am thoroughly satisfied with this movie. Kinda sad now that it's all over (movie-wise, anyway).

ROFL @ Yoda walking in that room and just killing the two guards

Yeah, that was awesome....

My nerd side is comming out to play....

Just little things i loved the most, how ships looked like they do in IV on.....
They way it finished was awesome...Just last 3-4 minutes of images looking old school, bare star wars. Loved it.
I can't wait to see it again, though first I will watch the OT. I really do love the little suttle tie ins.

PullMyFinger 05-20-2005 03:14 AM

DAMN YOU ANAKIN! DAMN YOU FOR TURNING TO THE DARK SIDE!!! :shifty:

It was good, but just way too sad...however, it was expected. Good thing the good guys won in Episode 6.. hahahaaaaaaaaaa

Requiem 05-20-2005 03:22 AM

Just saw it... loved it.

MoRcHeEbA 05-20-2005 03:43 AM

yea so.....

This was the first star wars movie ive ever seen where I was just bored off my ass at one point. Im not saying it was a bad movie or anything. Its just compared to all the other ones I didnt like it as much.

The Phantom Menace was fun to watch. It might not have had the most action in it but it was fun to watch and not once did I ever get that bored feeling.

The Attack of the Clones even though it was mostly a love story was also still fun to watch. It had alot more action than Ep 1 and everything was better than it.

Maybe im just let down by this new Star Wars movie because I had high hopes for it. I wanted to go into this movie and just get blown away. I wanted to walk out of that movie going "Oh My God...That was the greatest movie ever made!!!!" but the only problem is that it wasnt what I was hoping for. I had high hopes for it because this was supposed to be the big FIGHT movie. All the Jedis get killed off and Anakin turns evil and the big end Lightsaber fight. I had high hopes the only problem is there was alot of mixed stuff in between.

Im sorta like the Comic book guy...even though I didnt like it as much as the others...im still gonna see it 4 times this week.

I was actually kinda hoping Bail and Owen would name them separately.

But again, that's just me being picky. That minor disappointment was smothered in a sea of amazement.
