Doomie Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Some of the acting was a bit down (In some of the romantic scenes) but otherwise I loved it from beginning to end. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Originally posted by Mike Windu If they had used some obscure music from EP 12456 then it would not have mattered to me.

And the emperors theme, don't forget that they've been using that in these last couple of movies too. What about the very end of RotS? What about the love song from AotC? I have no idea what you mean by "After being featured so prominently" but like I said, I was GLAD they didn't waste time on something that overall, didn't progress the plot line, which was already a LITTLE hurried due to sheer volume of matter that had to be dealt with, they gave us the battle, then moved on to important things.

El Sitherino Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 They only used the chorus of Duel of the Fates, and they only did a bit of it twice. And that was only during the Palp/Yoda duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I gotta agree with ET. Ewan was awesome in this film, seriously, when he yells at anakin after cutting his legs off, you really feel he didn't want to do that, and he's pissed at Anakin for forcing him to do that.

I noticed it, but I wasn't pissed at the Imperial March because it fit. DotF however, seemed very out of place. I don't recall if they created a new theme for the Dooku duel from EP2, but hey, I figure if you're gonna make a song for a duel then leave it in that duel and make another for another big duel. Glad they didn't use it in the Ani/Obi duel at the very least. I dunno, maybe it's my pure hatred at DotF's overuse. Maybe I watch stupid fanfilms so much that DotF has become so cliche to me. XD After being featured and showcased and "OMG THERE'S GONNA BE THIS HUGE WOOKIEE BATTLE AND IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME AND OMG T3H ROXXORS THERE'S GONNA BE CHEWIE IN HERE AND HE'S GONNA KICK SOME ASS WITH THE REST OF THE WOOKIES!" Overhyped, yes. But it is what I wanted to see, and surely some others agree? Yes. tee kay you can come in now >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Windu Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I do like it, I'm just being nitpicky because it didn't live up to my expectations and I'm explaining why. It's still a good movie. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR-0927 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Originally posted by Prime If you don't like this film, you don't like Star Wars. Word. This movie moved me mentally and emotionally. I think I have been changed, mainly due to the way that Anakin causes Darth Sidius to kill Mace Windu. Mace could have ended it right there, there would be no more evil or betrayals happening. It was extremely dark. I understood why some critics had cried when watching it. I also was saddened by Order 66 and the death of almost every Jedi. The way the clone troopers just turned without question and betrayed the Jedi was scary for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed as spoiler-free from this movie as I could, and I was COMPLETELY blown away by it. and if DotF seemed out of place I would say you're just TRYING to find things to dislike, honestly. For me the music was all mood-setters, and the first time I saw it I honestly didn't even NOTICE it was DotF playing, it was just emotional driving music. I suppose some people just can't be satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie still surprised me. It's one thing to hear about stuff, and see stills. It's a completely different thing to see it. It surpassed all my expectations, and I knew a lot of what was going to happen. Originally posted by ET Warrior and if DotF seemed out of place I would say you're just TRYING to find things to dislike, honestly. I suppose some people just can't be satisfied. Too true. You people need to lighten up, you treat these movies as if they're mind altering cinematic features that complete change you vision of life and reality.

ZBomber Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I was only spoiled to a few things (Lava, Padme dying, Order 66, and the Younglings). Everything else shocked the hell out of me and I'm glad I wasn't too spoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 As someone that talks to mike on AIM, he does this with just about everything Anyhoodles, I am hoping to see it again tomarrow. Being spoler free really helped the experience for me. My friend is staying the night, and we both have monmey to pay for our own tickets. We'll take the bus if we have to. Being spoler free really helped the experience for me. And the Episode III game is a great addition to the movie, because of all the extra stuff, such as anakin lifting up the jedi librarian wiht the force and pulling her into his saber I think I'll buy like 9 copies of this when it comes out >.> <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Can't wait for Novemeber when the DVD comes out. Until then I'll be seeing it at theatres. Already seen it twice, might go see it again today even though I saw it earlier. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I don't do this with LotR. I dunno. I'll see it a second time, possibly a third. I mean I like the movie, don't get me wrong. (how many times have I said that here...) It's just stuff that I disliked in it. I'm not TRYING to find it. It's just noticeable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow_Nest Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Just came back from watching, it was freggin awesome!!! Sad that Jar Jar didnt die (I hate that guy!) But it was still MUCH better and exciting than Episode 1 and 2. I'd give it a 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 7/10 for now. It only started to get good after mace's dead, which is an excellent scene. Battles were too superficial and short, just some quick views over kashyyyk and the dinosaur planet. Fights with dooku and grievous were dissapointing as well, too quick done and grievous really didn't kick any ass as much as he does in the clone wars series. The scene on mustafar was easily one of the best out of the entire star wars saga. Not because of the fight but because the acting looked real and if you didn't really believe Anakin to be evil by then, the image of him getting on fire and showing his anger must have. Vader's Nooo was a bit too much. Mustafar port felt like Knights Of the Old republic, one small port/city on an entire planet where almost no one is. EP II surpasses this film in being good in overall length, this one had its moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success! XD I was dissappointed by Grievous in the movie. They play him out to be some badass and has a good part in the movie because hell, he's the general of the droid army. *goes to watch Clone Wars Grievous* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Ginn Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I gave it 10/10. I thought this movie was awesome, and i can't wait to see it for the third time. (I'm waiting cause i don't wanna get burned out) I did feel the beginning was rushed as did ET, but after the second time, it was perfect. I guess i can't say i was mad about how anything happened, or that they didn't show enought of one thing, becuase i went in with no expectations. I was dissappointed by Grievous in the movie. They play him out to be some badass and has a good part in the movie because hell, he's the general of the droid army. Well, Ep III isn't about General Grievous, it's about Anakins turn to the dark side, so i can't say i'm disapointed by him this movie. Plus I already had a feeling he was going to be the Darth Maul of Ep. III. And it's possible you are finding many things wrong with it because it didn't happen the way that you had hoped? going into a movie such as this with super high expectations of certain things happening the way you want it to, might be why you feel that way.

ET Warrior Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I have to laugh at everyone whose argument about greivous includes "He was played up to be this great badass etc." How much time was Greivous in ANY trailers? he was NEVER played up to be a badass as far as the movie was concerned. Sure, he was wicked tough in the Clone Wars series, but the clone wars aren't RotS, now are they? He was played up to be a supreme badass in this movie in YOUR MIND. And so I have no sympathy for anyone who is upset about his role. He played the part that needed to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Windu Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yeah I had high expectations. I also had high expectations for other trilogies as well. Matrix failed me, but LotR did not. I guess I expect each movie to be as good as the last. But I can't complain about that becaue EP3 is indeed better than EP2. XD I had feelings that Grievous would be the next Darth Maul, Feanaro. Sadly, he turned out to be somewhat sucky. *flesh doesn't burn* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
