But Padme! Golly! That scene that wanted to be so dramatic and wonderful turned out horrid! "Oh Ani! Golly Ani, they say you killed ugly ducklings!..Uh, I mean Younglings!" She's not just a bad actress (in those movies at least. I don't like her at all, but just to keep things fair I'll only criticize her Starwars stuff), she's a really bad amateur! Otherwise the movie was great

I wasn't particularly impressed, but it wasn't as horrid a movie as it could have been. I give it a 3/5.

And thank you Katya, that was a little joke I made up after we finished watching the film.

The first time I watched the movie, I was just immersing myself in the characters, dialogue and emotional drama.
When I watched it again a couple days ago, I was listening more to the music and was looking at the sets. All of that background work on the movie is really amazing. It very, very much adds to the impact. The music during each of those scenes, and the special effects and glorious sets involved, was extremely effective.

I loved the movie, going to see it again tomorrow I am really glad that Episode III is better than II - I didn't like the dialogue in Ep II. It would suck majorly if the last movie didn't match up to the first ones. I also felt that Anakin was better in this movie. He sucked in the second one!
Two things I loved about the movie: - How Anakin turned to the Dark side. Darth Sidious planned it very good, very convincing and understandable. - The manner in which Padme confronted Anakin and realized he has turned. It could very easily have been heavy cliché but it wasn't. Stuff I didn't like: - When Padme gave birth and the droid said she has lost her will to live. Du! That part should have been left out. - Somewhere near the beginning, when a droid was sliced with a lightsaber (either by Anakin or Obi-Wan), it yelled "nooo" or something (sorry, can't remember). Why would a droid do that? Oh, and I agree with Bombadillo that Grievous deserved more attention. I don't know if you saw the Clone Wars cartoons, but general Grievous rocked in it! He was so cool. In the movie he looked too weak, which I can understand due to his injury, but the people who haven't seen the cartoons will never know how cool he is/was. Sad thought. |

He was still pretty darn cool.
He wasn't the focus of the movie - that is a GOOD thing. Grievous had a nice bit. The audience was wowed by his mutiple lightsabers. Remeber: He is injured already, he is just a bio-droid type thingy NOT a jedi, no jedi reflexes, Obi-Wan is VERY skilled with the lightsaber. I wouldn't have wanted Grievous to have been in mroe of it - he was in it just the right amount.

i didn't like the Padmee/Anakin dialoge n'such as much as the Obi-Wan/Anakin dialog after the fall of Padmee. The whole thing between Padmee and Anakin just seemed a little... under done and a little too dim, but then thats how Lucas writes. But the talk between Anakin and Obi-Wan is great, with the contrast of the last time they spoke to eachother, "May the force be with you my old friend..." to, "I will do what i must..."--"You will try!" I think the dynamic between Obi-Wan and Anakin is what made the whole movie!

Obi-Wan was very impressive with the sabre in Episode 3, definitely. But then, ever since Episode 1 we always knew he was good . With all of his development in Episodes 2 and 3, I appreciate more his duel with Maul in Episode 1. Though it still would have been nice if Maul could have lasted longer . Oh well . There were a couple bits of Obi-Wan's fighting in Episode 3 which I thought particularly interesting. In one of the bits where he's fighting with Anakin, he really speeds up. He's fighting for a moment in the kind of blurred super-speed way that Dooku does. Then when he hits Grievous with his Force slam. That sends Grievous really far, the sort of thing Maul did to Obi-Wan in "The Phantom Menace". I really liked Obi-Wan's fight with Grievous. It made Obi-Wan look very cool, showing his talent in preparation for his climax with Anakin. Quote:

John Williams' music during this film was also completely amazing. Quote:

I agree that Anakin was very immature in Episode II. It bothered me at the time (5 years ago, man! they made us wait long) but after Episode III I realized that if was quite fitting. Now I even like his character. Anakin is still immature, he never really grew up. Ever since he was taken away from his mother, he attached himself to someone - understandable at that age of course. But he still can't stand on his own, he needs to follow someone, and that's another reason why he accepted Darth Sisious so easily. He didn't have the jedi any more.
Coming back to the droids, one part that was really funny was when Anakin was hanging on to the side of the elevator shaft and the droids opened the door saying 'hands up Jedi'. That was good. |

Yeah. And the battle-droid saying "You're welcome," when Grievous snatches Obi-Wan and Anakin's lightsabers from him.

Scientists currently believe that our planet had a largely volcanic beginning. Massive rents tore apart the Earth's surface. Volcanoes and lakes of lava were commonplace. Precious ores that now are very rare would have been everywhere. That creatures of advanced mining technology should create facilities on newly born planets such as these seems very logical to me.
