HOLY CRAP EPISODE III WAS AWESOME

[banditcom]

I just saw it earlier today.

It was sweet, except for the first, poorly edited, third of the movie.

I had read some of this thread before watching it and kept it in mind after watching the movie. I came back and read this right after I finished watching it, and it all made sense. I thought it was a great movie, but I cried a lot. I kind of think back deeper into things about how Anakin used to be such a cute little boy and Obi was training him and all, then he turned into Darth Vader and all. I never really followed Star Wars so I kind of wasn't aware about everything that happened, so I was kind of surprised to see the whole transformation. It was a really good movie, though.

I thought I almost felt tears welling when Obi-Wan said "You were my brother!"

But then I sipped my giant bucket of Sunkist and I was happy again.

I was crying through that whole scene. I realized how close Obi-Wan must have felt towards Anakin, and then Anakin just went and turned on him like that. I was so upset.

They should remake the other movies to make them look cooler.

Well.....When it was during that part of the movie and Obi-Wan said "You were the chosen one!" I thought of the 1337 dubbed preview going "STOP TKing YOU ***!!!11!1ONE11!!!" and I chuckled.

My friend came out of the theater and said in the loadest possible
voice that isn't yelling or shouting "I did not see that coming!"

They did. There on DVDs now.

I read somewhere that they are making them all in 3-d.

*Aniken, DONT KILL ME! Woah, it was fake! AWESOME!*

It was good, but I wasn't blown away by it.

The transitions got really annoying after awhile, with all the old-school transitions like blinds, wipes, and closing circle. Just annoying after a bit.

The best part was how Anakin's eyes got all evil. First blue, then darker, darker, and finally, just a creepy red. That was my favourite part of the movie - watching his eyes change, and watching him kill his own wife. Genius!

[pntballa18]

He didnt kill his wife.

[vashthestampede0987]

He basically choked her till she was unconscious. She died because she lived for and loved Anikin. The medical robot specifically said that she was "losing the will to live." She couldn't bear the pain so she used her last ounce of will power to give the names of her children and tell Obi-Wan that there was still a string of hope.

A new hope, may be? I just saw it yesterday, so I'm a bit late, but I still feel the need to say something.

My friend complained that the story was terribly written. Basically he said they should have acted out their feelings and shown them rather than outright saying things like "This is the happiest day of my life" and "I feel so helpless" (which didn't make any sense at all, in context). I didn't mind it too much, but I saw some problems with the movie myself. One big thing was that the lightsaber battles were very hard to watch. They zoomed way in on people and you could just see flashing sabers back and forth. Especially in the Obi Wan vs Anakin duel where they both had blue light sabers, it was really hard to tell what the hell was happening sometimes.

@jazz: The same transitions have been used in every movie. The difference is this one didn't do them in a cool way like the old ones did. I always liked how the transitions worked in the first 3, where somebody would walk by and the transition would line up with them, or somebody (Hans, I think) got picked up and as he moved up it wiped to the next scene. Because I had just seen ep5 on Tuesday, I had this fresh in my mind and felt the wipes in ep3 were kinda random.

About the Mace Windu thing...I thought his death was cool. I mean, he beat the guy that YODA couldn't even beat later on. He whooped the guy's ass totally. Of course, may be Sidius was just letting him win so Anakin would feel sorry for him, but still, it was a good show of purple lightsaber ownage. And I think the most disappointing deaths ever in Star Wars were the deaths of Jango and Boba Fett. Jango just gets beheaded suddenly and Boba just kinda falls, IIRC. Pretty lame if you ask me.

But overall, I think ep3 was great. Of course, I'm only in it for the explosions, and ep3 had plenty.

I think someone said before that Yoda wasn't as strong as he should have been because the force was balanced between the light side and the dark side during the fight with Palpatine. Palpatine even said that Yoda was too arrogant if I remember correctly, because Yoda was used to having crazy power from the light side controlling the majority of the force. I believe that Yoda at his tops, before the force was balanced, would have totally annihilated the emperor.
