Star Wars Episode 3[views:14524][posts:56]__________________________________ [May 19,2005 2:58am - malettey ""] i just got back from seeing it, i thought it was really good. anyone else see it? what did you think? |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2005 4:07am - PatMeebles ""] Some of the dialog at the beginning was too cheesy. I also hate Natalie Portman. Other than that, is was pretty damn good, and a good transition at the end. |
| __________________________________________ [May 19,2005 4:09am - DaveFromTheGrave ""] I think i saw another thread for it |
| _________________________________________ [May 19,2005 7:38am - DreamingInExile ""] who cares about the cheezy dialog in the beginning, that had nothign to to about dialog, tha twas all about the 3.5+ million dollar 3D animation sequence. despite a few little things here and there, I definately give it two thumbs up, even after driving home from the Porcupine Tree show and then going to see it |
| __________________________________ [May 19,2005 9:23am - malettey ""] yeah i think there is another thread for this movie but i was too lazy to look back and find it so i made my own. i agree that a lot of dialogue in the movie is kinda cheesy, especially that guy who plays anakin skywalker, his lines didn't sound natural....as much as i liked the movie, i think george lucas cares more about being on top of special effects than he does about actual acting oh well |
| _____________________________________ [May 19,2005 10:50am - Kinslayer ""] I've never seen a worse/more cliche script or a more pathetic display of acting EVER...and all the silly, funny antics made me want to vomit. I mean I wasn't expecting anything good going in but I was blown away with how bad it was... The special effects of course were cool but that's about it... |
| _________________________________ [May 19,2005 11:08am - Abbath ""] the first 15 minutes of the film blew me away, so much stuff was going on it was great i must agree though that a few parts were way to cheesy but i thought it was a great movie, two thumbs up, way better than the last two so hurray |
| __________________________________________ [May 19,2005 11:41am - JayTUS at work ""] We were going to see it last night but it was sold out everywhere haha, hopefully tonight!! |
| ______________________________________ [May 19,2005 2:12pm - swamplorddvm ""] I'm going to be an ass and wear my Vader shirt to the movie. |
| _________________________________________ [May 19,2005 2:14pm - sinofangels-ray ""] seen it last night it was great!! |
| _________________________________ [May 19,2005 3:01pm - Paulll ""] I liked it, but a lot of the lines were gay.... " I HATTTEEEE YOUUUUUU" worst line ever for darth vader. |
| __________________________________ [May 19,2005 3:46pm - succubus ""] 75% of the people i work with just left because they bought tix to the 4:30 showing ...gooo matinees! |
| _____________________________________ [May 19,2005 3:52pm - KeithMutiny ""] :bartmoon: I was gonna go into the Bellingham theater during the screening last night and pull the fire alarm so everyone would go apeshit... i really shoulda done it... :middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger::middlefinger: |
| _________________________________________ [May 19,2005 5:57pm - an80smetalchick ""] I was at the midnight showing last night in Randolph and someone kept pulling the fire alarm. The whole theater had to be evacuated! I must admit though, the movie script was dead on, however the expression was a bit vanilla. Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman do not pull off a convincing performance, they both are dry and come of as scripted characters! Lucas could have done better. In my humble opinion, I feel he disgraced the Star Wars Saga by adding on Episodes I, II and III. For years, everyone just read the books to find out the rest of the story that was not explained to us back in the 70s. |
| ________________________________________ [May 19,2005 5:57pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] This one was much better than episode 1 and 2. Sick special effects. So, Chewbacca saves Yoda's ass, Mace Windu gets his hand chopped off by Anakin's Lightsaber (I think G. Lucas likes hands getting chopped off) We don't actually "see" Mace Windu's death however. After losing his hand, he gets thrown out the window and that's it for him. R2-D2 has some cool fight scenes in the beginning. C3-P0 seems to be in this movie for nostalgic purposes only as he doesn't really do much other than stand around and say a few irrelevant lines here and there. The wookie planet looks cool, too bad we don't see too much of it. |
| _____________________________________ [May 19,2005 10:23pm - LtdEc-1000 ""] was it just me, or was there more cut scenes, pans, and all around view-taking-in shots then there was actual dialog.... |
| _______________________________________ [May 20,2005 12:23pm - swamplorddvm ""] OK I saw it. It was good. Although it did have some really cheesy parts and lines, like something out of a soap opera and some cliche parts. and I think the whole turning to the dark side thing could have been done better. and the whole Vader "NNOOOOOOOOOOO" thing should have just been a "RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGG" or something. But over all it was good. I like the very last scene when luke's uncle and aunt are standing watching the sun set like Luke did in the first movie. THAT was good. |
| _______________________________________ [May 20,2005 12:24pm - swamplorddvm ""] Also, there was nothing about Bobba Fett. Why? |
| ___________________________________ [May 20,2005 12:43pm - litacore ""] I wanna hear about what happens to Bubba Fart |
| _______________________________________ [May 20,2005 12:50pm - swamplorddvm ""] My theory is that Bobba is Jengos Un-altered clone and NOT his "son". |
| _______________________________________ [May 20,2005 12:50pm - swamplorddvm ""] litacore said:I wanna hear about what happens to Bubba Fart Blubber fat. |
| _______________________________________ [May 20,2005 12:56pm - swamplorddvm ""] :yoda: Nbdy sued the Yoda icon yet. |
| __________________________________ [May 20,2005 1:07pm - litacore ""] you mean "yet icon Yoda the sued Nbdy" HAHAHAHA*blortch* |
| _______________________________ [May 20,2005 1:17pm - moran ""] swamplorddvm said:My theory is that Bobba is Jengos Un-altered clone and NOT his "son". Wow, how long did it take you to think that up? Hes not in the movie because there is no need for him to be there. |
| _________________________________________ [May 20,2005 1:39pm - an80smetalchick ""] I want my own wookie! |
| ______________________________________ [May 21,2005 1:16pm - swamplorddvm ""] moran said:swamplorddvm said:My theory is that Bobba is Jengos Un-altered clone and NOT his "son". Wow, how long did it take you to think that up? Hes not in the movie because there is no need for him to be there. Not very long at all. And yes there was no need. But I'm still curious. |
| _________________________________________ [May 21,2005 9:45pm - an80smetalchick ""] Didn't anyone read the books? |
| ______________________________________ [May 21,2005 10:47pm - dug-a-hole ""] right from the beginning with the stupid voices and dialogue of the robots I knew the movie was doomed for me. Lucas didn't even have to bring back Jar-Jar; he had the androids and Grievous with that pointless cough. The intro battle scene was a complete overdone blast of CGI sperm. Was it the good actors day off when they cast the roles of Anakin, Padme and Palpatine? Even Ewan McGregor's acting was questionable. Maybe it was the writer's fault. It had it's moments where it did shine but in my opinion it was no better or worse than the previous two installments. It was meh. I had more fun seeing Mindhunters. |
| ________________________________________ [May 23,2005 11:29am - joe/notcommon ""] yeah Grievous had a bad case of robot asthma |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2005 12:10pm - boobtoucher ""] Oh man this movie is so sick...i saw it opening night in Lawrence at 12am! All this talk about dialog is kind of stupid because its 2005...if you watch the old ones, a lot of the dialog sounds pretty stupid as well. Also, you can even say some of the acting was cheesy in the old ones and bla bla bla. The first 2 were complete rubbish but this one was just pure hot fire. Its awesome that this story was able to make audiences almost cheer for the bad guy (vader), a story line rarely seen in hollywood. I'm gonna go get some weed and see it again. |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2005 12:11pm - Christraper ""] I thought it was an embarassing piece of crap. Lucas should have stepped down and let someone else direct I, II, and III. AND he shouldve let the editors have a whack at it. The acting was just as painful as the last two, the script sucked yoda balls and the fight scenes seemed like theyd never fucking end. Im glad that I finally know how Darth Vader came to be but jesus chirst did that movie suck! Everyone sucked. There are several actors in I II and III that I like alot but they all looked like retards under Lucas' direction. I hate George Lucas. I hope his head explodes. |

| _____________________________________ [May 23,2005 1:11pm - Christraper ""] Exactly. If we can throw Lucas' stupid haircut on that guy itd be perfect. |
| ___________________________________ [May 25,2005 10:29am - litacore ""] saw it yesterday. Definitely better than Eps. I & II but I was very aware that I was scowling through most of it. Like the other gay installments, I checked my watch twice during the movie. ya see, I saw the first one in '77 when I was six and it's hard not to view these ones out of the shadow of the first three films. Nevertheless, I thought the final duel between Anakin and Kenobi was pretty badass. I was also interested in seeing how Palpatine's face got all fucked up during his face-off with Mace Windu. |
| __________________________________________ [May 25,2005 10:42am - an80smetalchick ""] definately answered alot of questions about the storyline. |
| __________________________________ [May 25,2005 11:47am - soloman ""] Dialogue is a huge problem. I can deal with cheese, but I cringed at many of the lines. But the 2 main problems: 1. I never believe anakin and padme are in love. 2. Anakin turns to the dark side way too quick. Suddenly he's killing children? The transition makes no sense. There were some badass scenes. But overall, the movie was meh. And I actually liked epsiode 2 the best of these last three. |
| _____________________________________ [May 25,2005 12:21pm - Pillorydan ""] All I know is that they should have put Padme in a bikini and tied her ass up like they did to Princess Leia.... |
| __________________________________________ [May 25,2005 12:24pm - an80smetalchick ""] needed sex scenes! |
| _____________________________________ [May 25,2005 12:28pm - Pillorydan ""] :yoda: YODA Sex scene :doublehorns: |
| __________________________________ [May 25,2005 12:30pm - soloman ""] lightsaber sex |

The transition makes no sense. "Quick and easy is the path to the dark side.":yoda: Oh snap! I watched episode 4 afew days ago. The're something that don't fit perfectly. But it's cool, I still love Star wars. |
| _________________________________ [May 25,2005 4:20pm - soloman ""] Yoda meant choosing quick and easy is the path to the dark side. Anakin wanted to be powerful quickly... rather than be patient like the Jedi advised. Anakin wanted to cheat death rather than deal with the death of a loved one cuz it's easier. Anakin saw dictatorship as a quicker and easier way to end the war. Rather than choosing to be patient and dealing with hardship, Anakin always chose quick and easy, which lead him to the darkside. such a nerd i am. |
| _____________________________________ [May 25,2005 4:36pm - Robdeadskin ""] I thought it was terrible...along with the othr two...darth vader screaming nnoooooo at the end had me in stiches |
| ____________________________________ [May 25,2005 11:20pm - multipass ""] Well, c'mon man.. his wife just died. At that point he wasn't completely fucked like in the original 3 movies. It takes more than one movie for him to become completely changed by the dark side. Even on the volcanic planet... he was completely tapped as far as views about ruling the galaxy and such... that much I will admit definately changed. But his love was still there. I can only guess it takes a long ass time to forget about you're wife who was pregnant with your kids dying. But hey, that's me. I thought it was siiiick when everything around him started crushing because he ws so pissed. That's some badass shit man. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 11:12am - dan. ""] this was so fucking good, im going back to see it again tonight. |
| __________________________________________ [May 26,2005 11:22am - an80smetalchick ""] I went to the premier showing in Randolph last Wed. night. They showed the movie in Analog. I have been told there are scene differences from the Analog cut and the Digital cut of the film. Has anyone seen both and can attest to this? |
| ___________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:11pm - litacore ""] Palpatine is such a bastard. Not only was he whining like a puss-puss as Mace Windu was besting him, but he constantly fucks Vader over. Especially at the end of 'Jedi' he just wants Luke to replace him like fresh meat. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:16pm - dan. ""] palpatine is a pedo |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:19pm - multipass ""] yeah but the same thing happens when dooku and anakin fight in episode 3. he tells anakin to kill his own apprentice. it's not that he wants to fuck vader over at the end of return of the jedi, he just wants a younger, stronger apprentice. |
