Star Wars Episode 3

Umm, actually- the prophecy was correct. It just worked out a lot uglier than the Jedi council knew.

Clearly- you forgot Luke isn't the one who

It really made perfect sense since putting his family first was what turned him to the dark side to begin with.

Still havn't seen the Falcon in Episode II, but i did find the attached image lurking on the net.. its "apparently" the Falcon in Star Trek: First Contact.

Also the Falcon apparently appears in BladeRunner as well.

(And the Enterprise 'E' is in Episode I, behind Padme's shoulder, out the window)

Episode 3 has as much eye candy as a room full of victoria's secret models. It's such a visually impressive movie that I walked out of the theater at 2:30 am thursday morning with my brain all frazzled. I really thought I loved it then but, after I regained control of my brain,there are a few things I want to nit pick.


Theres more little things that are minor and can be overlooked, Its just
this one flaw that dropped a posssible 3.5 to 4 star movie to a 2.5 to 3

Insanity Rulez, i agree with everything you just said except one thing. I never did find Natalie Portman a very good actress in any of the films. I never believed she fit in that role as Carrie Fish did with her character. She was boring to watch and unconvicing as a princess who can use a laser blaster. The only time she looked and acted the part was in episode 1 when she was in her Princess getup.

I nearly died when he did that

I mostly agree with the general complaint so far: the acting. There are a lot of people who argue that acting may not be best suited for this sort of film, but by gor... how much better could these films have been if only the delivery was tweaked? Miles better, I'm convinced. The lines don't even have to be altered. These are professional actors, no? One of the critical differences between this and a movie like Empire is, quite simply, the acting. It's bad enough at times that it takes you completely out of the film, just as you settle into it. Yoda was more convincing than probably 90% of the rest of the cast with his facial expressions alone, and I don't mean that facetiously. There could have been a little less droid buffoonery as well, where it just seemed a bit unnecessary. This might so easily have been so much more than just the last installment, all the elements were there.

I have to agree about the Darth Vader wail, also. It was almost like the intro to a Back Street Boys video, circa 2000. One of their more upbeat numbers, right before the whompy bass comes in and the other members appear from the background in similar but different colored outfits. And that body language. It was as if they took all the stale and affected delivery of Hayden Christensen's lines and somehow were able to phyically manifest it into body movement.

I enjoyed it very much, otherwise. The action was, more often than not, outstanding. Also, the shot of the planet with the massive flora was magnificent, my jaw just about dropped. If only there had been a bit more visual teasing like this, and a little less indulgence with some of the cityscape backdrops. Anyway, it seemed like a well-intentioned effort, on the whole. At the very least, it provides a much more worthwhile talking point than did the previous two installments (from my view). Hopefully there can be lessons taken from it.

Did anyone notice, toward the end... was that supposed to be Peter Cushing? If it was, he looked a bit rubbery and fat faced.

Well said Hob!
I noticed the young possible Peter Cushing as well, lol, quite a nice yet subtle touch.

Yeah, it was Tarkin. And a very excellent lookalike if you ask me.

It says something when the cartoon series is actually better than the first two films.
I liked the 3rd film tho but i feel it could have been a great film but to many missed opportunities and with george lucas directing, made this only average.
The saving grace is ian mcdirmid as the emperor, best thing about the film, when it should of been darth vader.

My friend said that at the end of the credits the words "Episode 7 coming soon" appears. Anybody else witness this.

No.

Yeah, i think he's full of crap too.

It was a nice touch, like Pyro said, but I still say he looked as if he could use a bit of sleep.

He was probably cgi anyway

No tarkin was legit- i saw a makeupsession with him. Prosthetic cheekbones, though, i dont think anyone has the facial structure of Peter Cushing.

So just wanted to share- at the midnight showing of Ep. III the guy behind me FELL ASLEEP, and STARTED SNORING. I can ALMOST understand falling asleep at a midnight showing, but SNORING? Yeah, blasphemy, i know. The funny part is he was forced out of the theater by a barrage of popcorn and toy lightsabers. The applause was almost louder than the first Yoda appearance in the movie.

Guess you missed the sarcasm

I just watched this movie a few minutes ago, and I though it was great, but after reading these comments, I'm starting to reconsider. The action was great. They certainly put a lot of work into the CGI. I really like the space combats, but they really should have hired some Chinese man to do the dueling scenes. I thought that the plot seems like it was rushed through, I mean, OK the story did span over six films, but I expected much more than just pretty pictures, especially from this "last" one. I'm not a major SW fan. I don’t own any SW collectable, or Jedi posters, but I have watched all the films, and I admit more than twice for each. Overall, I think that this is still a film that I will end up watching eventually again, and I don't consider this film to be a waste of time. You really have to watch all of them in the order that they've came out to enjoy ROTS. And as for SW vs. LOTR, I also saw LOTR twice, and I STILL HATE IT!
