Revenge of the Sith

[MortalPlague]

I was blown away. Star Wars is back, and back with a vengeance. From the opening scene to the closing credits, I was riveted. It moved along quickly, and the pacing was for the most part, very good. The battles were among the best I've ever seen.

Hayden Christensen plays Anakin as if he was born for the role, and this is coming from someone who hated him in the second movie. Here, he's nearly perfect, managing to portray his descent to the dark side with a poignant naivety while maintaining a menacing strength. Ian McDiarmid and Ewan McGregor both turn in phenomenal performances as well.

This might just be the excitement of the movie before it wears off, but this is arguably one of the best of the series.

[Aquablue]

Sounds very good. I'm glad to hear Star Wars may just be saved after all, even though "This might just be the excitement of the movie before it wears off". :)

I'm now really planning to see the movie, besides Kingdom Of Heaven. :)

[freshie]

So blown away by it that you had to start another thread about it, when there was one in plain view? :p

OMFG HEARTBREAKING the movie is!!!!!!!!!!TRULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i will say no more till some more have seen it! :rockon:

[Kingster]

Too bad there won't be anymore if George is finally getting it right again.

[Lunarbunny]

Too bad there won't be anymore if George is finally getting it right again.
Yeah...I haven't seen it yet, but it appears to be alright. With E1 & 2, I was almost glad he wasn't going to do the original plan of 7-9 also.
Lol...Hamill is probably old enough to be right for E7...

[teppic]

I went in this morning to see it. DAMN what a good movie! I need to see it again! If i had the money in my wallet, I'd be out the door to the theatre to see it twice in one day!

[widowmaker]

Going to see it in 2 1/ 2 hours. :rockon:

:dunno:

[{RA}SKYFURNACE]

I saw it. Thought it was a good movie, much better than the previous 2.

But im not a star wars fanboy, so i didnt enjoy it as much as say:

LOTR or Spiderman.

The narnia trailer kicked major bootie tho!!

Some folks at NC count on me for heads up on movies since I see them before everyone. I have a review on this thread (http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=159225)

Its positive. Movie is pretty good.

[3DTexturizer]

Saw it. It was almost too much (visually) to take in. All the light saber action was tight, huge space battle, I cant imagine the amount of rendering...
I need to see it again. I was left wishing a few things had been shown in different ways. It almost seemed like Lucas was trying to cram all sorts of things in, since this was the last one. Go see it if you havent yet. ;)

[DeadMeatGF]

huge space battle, I cant imagine the amount of rendering...Rendering?
I thought it was all airfix models ;)

Looked awesome, and the story held together well enough.
So many scenes where they candied it up simply because they could - and fair play to them for it!

Oh, and Freshie - you really have got a bug up your ass atm.
Cut back on the caffeine.

[HortonsWho]

I won't post spoilers but I will mention some criticisms. If you don't want to see them, skip this.

































Up until the Mace/Palpatine scene my grade for the film was sitting at a D. Overall though I'd give it a C+. The dumb dialog from droids making them sound like Laurel and Hardy, and again, wooden/flat acting etc initially made me think "here we go again..." General Grievous was a disappointment... stooped over and weezy but suddenly strong and powerful in a fight... same with Yoday in Episode II... grunts and groans along on a cane but then suddenly he can fight like the best jedi ever.

But once the movie turned a little darker it became much better...partly becuase a lot of them shut up. However, I still thought it felt shallow and stiff and too dependent on CGI. It was no Empire Strikes Back, but it was better than the Episodes I & II.

As part of the Star Wars mythology it was entertaining. But the execution was again, weak. While you feel for Anakin and the movie ties up loose ends pretty well, it just lacks much dramatic heft. Your reaction is "so that's how it happened" but you don't really care all that much about the telling.

It was fun... I might even see it again. But I'm glad he won't doing another three. I honestly think he should let somebody else carry on the saga. Get a good team of writers and put Peter Jackson at the helm and it could be interesting.

[SunnyDay]

I'm waiting a while so I can watch it in peace in a half full theater. Haven't been to inspired to want to see it.

[widowmaker]

Oh I can see it now. Lord of the Sith! One light sabre to rule them all!!!

Although I do agree it would be a great improvement over what George has been able to come up with.

Funny about that... NONE of the shows at my theatre sold out last night. Our showing was not even half-full (granted, it was Thursday) and I hear it made a record $16 million just in Midnight showings.

I'd agree with much of what you said MP-

[teppic]

I loved it. I need to see it again (going on Monday). I'd give it 4/5. As Hort says, a lot of the time I was just interested to see how certaing things happened, and didn't really care too much about the rest at a lot of points. Again, the droids were just plain annoying at times.

Hort - I think Yoda can be excused for being decrepit (sp?) when he's just going about his business, but can become an amazing fighter when he needs to purely because he can exploit the force so effectively. That's my reasoning anyway :p

[MortalPlague]

Hey, Yoda was the only one who suspected anything about the events that were transpiring. Didn't you see the camera close-ups of him looking suspicious and thoughtful? :p

[Lord_Simeon]

Just watched it and loved it.

So my list for favourites has a new second entry

1. Empire strikes back
2. Revenge of the Sith

:D

[HailtheGoat]

U same with Yoday in Episode II... grunts and groans along on a cane but then suddenly he can fight like the best jedi ever.


I could've swore I read somewhere that Yoda's cane was made out of a special tree that kept his powers in check. Once he let go of the cane he was at full strength.

I can't seem to find it though......

favorite movie ever. i think it has the best storyline of all the movies, and my top 3 movies are all star wars movies. It was even better because no1 talked during the movie. If i go on fridays, the kids from other schools throw food and talk the wholeway through it.

Obi-Wan still remains my favorite charactor, and i have grown a hatred toward anakin (sp?).

Went to see it midnight wednesday, probably going tonight, maybe tomorrow, and probably next week twice or 3 times. (my life savings is going toward this movie)

I was really disappointed in the way Mace dies. It wasn't as cool as i hoped it would be.

but after watching this movie, i felt so bad that obi-wan dies in another movie, forgot which one though). I feel so sad after watching this movie.

[{RA}SKYFURNACE]

ok after rethinking this movie and talking with many people that have seen it i liken it to this:

Sitting in a classroom, and either listening and being shown the history of starwars or sitting in a classroom watching a documentry about it.

I just didnt feel anything... i didnt care about any of the characters and could care less what happend. It was much better in prsentation than the first 2 of this series, but like the first 2 it lacks alot of what makes me enjoy a movie.

The art direction was amazing, and loved alot of the shots, and scenes, but it could have been a 2.5 hour Mountain Dew commercial, for all i had known.

hehe.

I like the movie, but i see 0 reason to see it again. and opening day the theater we went too had about 15 people for our showing and for the next one 15 minutes later their were about 5 people in line.

In case you were wondering... Sith shattered the box-office records... $158 million US so-far and $303 million worldwide. :eek:

Story:

Grossing $158.5 million in its first four days, "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" finished George LucasGeorge Lucas' sci-fi epic like it started in 1977, raising the bar for blockbusters.
Released day-and-date by 20th Century Fox in 115 territories, "Sith" has already taken in $303 million, a worldwide opening record.

Opening in 3,661 theaters with a massive 9,000-plus print count domestically, "Sith" claimed a quiver of records, including the largest four-day opening, outpacing 2003's "The Matrix Reloaded," which rang up $134.3 in its four-day opening span.

"Sith" began setting records as soon as it started playing at midnight Thursday morning. Those shows brought in a record $16.9 million. The full-day Thursday gross of $50 million handily claimed the single-day gross title, setting aside the $44.8 million earned on its opening Saturday.

Still, "Spider-Man's" $114.8 million opening record remains the gold standard for Friday-Sunday spans, since "Sith" took in $108.5 million over the span. And on the all-time opening weekend chart, ignoring the duration of the "weekend," the "Sith" number is second behind the $180 million earned by "Spider-Man 2" last summer on a six-day opening stretch that ran from Wednesday through Monday.

But Fox pointed out that with the help of its record-setting opening Thursday grosses, "Sith" earned more than any other film in its first two days ($83.8 million), its first three days ($124.7 million) and four days ($158.5 million).

"These records," Fox distribdistrib prexyprexy Bruce Snyder said, "have always, in my mind, belonged to 'Star Wars.' "

Exit surveys showed the audaud skewed male and older, with 58% of the aud male and 52% over age 25. Snyder said that data came only from Friday shows and he expects the aud to even up a bit by gender once the Saturday data is included.

"Sith" debut is by far the best in the "Star Wars" prequel cycle. "The Phantom Menace," which has been the biggest grosser with $431 million under its belt, opened on a Wednesday in 1999 and took in $105.7 million in its first five days. Three years later, "Attack of the Clones" eventually cumed far less than "Phantom""Phantom" with $302 million despite a stronger opening of $110 million over four days after opening on a Thursday.

As a historical note, "Return of the Jedi," the only pic in the original trilogy to debut in wide release with 1,002 theaters, grossed $33.7 million through its first five days when it bowed on a Wednesday in 1983.

Despite the monster bowbow by "Sith," total box office over the weekend was down against last year for the 13th straight week. Nielsen EDI estimates total bizbiz at $160 million, down 6% against last year, when "Shrek 2" led the frame with its $108 million three-day total.

[King Mango]

One of my customers at work last night claimed to be a big Star Wars fan and had read all the books. And thought the books were better than the movies and he was amazed that Revenge didn't get an "R" rating since it was the darkest of the books...
He then proceeded to tell me about how Lucas licensed the stories from a slav author and then invented Han, Luke, and Leia et al to fill out the story.
roffles.
Anyway this got me curious about the origins anyway and I found this very interesting site
http://www.jitterbug.com/origins/index.html

[Dorkorama]

I haven't read all of the books, but the two trilogies that followed immediately after Episode VI. Lucas would have a hard time making any further movies without without majorly compressing those stories after licensing them or totally abondanonning them for his own vision. He could just jump ahead, as well.

Anyways, I don't think I felt the new movies had the impact the old ones did, especially as "unlike anything seen before." I got more of a feel of that from the Spy Kids series.

Right now, I'm not really feeling up to seeing Revenge of the Sith in the theaters.

Speaking about original Star Wars, have anyone seen this yet? Be warned though, I found it a little disturbing.

overall, star wars owns the box office records, 4 of the top seven. It is adjusted for inflation though.

Light-Spoiler ahead.....

My favorite part was when Anakin manages to land a ship, that has broken
into thirds, is lacking an engine AND has no wings. Not to mention the
broken away parts have no heat shielding and the ship would have burnt to
a going through the atmosphere.

That Anakin sure is powerful with the force.



HEAVY SPOILER:

I didn't like how Anakin turned from a moral quandary to whole-sale mass
murder. He was able to tell Mace Windu, that Palpatine needed to be
brought before a jury, then merciless slice through children not a couple
hours later.

Thanks for the tip of spoiler tags Dorkorama.

[King Mango]

Discussion of a previous spoiler
Yeah I think they missed an opportunity there. When you take into
account what he did with Duku at the empror's prodding about being too
dangerous to be left alive. Which I also think he was too easily maneuvered
into. I think with the Duku incident it would have been cool for us to see the
empror show Anakin the images of he and Mace as a portent. And then boom
it happens for him in real life... That could have been really powerful. Getting
bak to Mace though... There was a real opportunity to explore the guilt over
having just done what Mace was about to do. But all they do is give Mace
the same quote the empror used. And then afterwards there should have
been a tremendous mental breakdown and struggle between remorse and
justification. It seemed way too easy.

I grew to like Anakin in the first two movies, but when he turned on
Mace and then on Obi-Wan Kenobi, i got sad, because they are my favorite two

[Molodiets]

I've just seen episode IV again after watchin episode III.
And my feeling was that the original StarWars was pretty cheap.
Even revamped by Lucas, the special effects stay cheap. The good surprise was Lucas'universe. A space opera featuring multi purposed droids, various races of cohabiting aliens, spaceships, planets with extreme landscapes and climates, princesses and emperor and the vestige of an ancient mystical knight order, once composed with telekynesist wizards, wielding lieghtsabers instead of usual lasers and gifted with a subdueing psy power.
All that can be found in episodes 1 to 3.
The dichotomy between Han solo and luke Skywalker's tempers also explains a part of the success. Apart from that, episode 4 is rather ridiculous.
The story deals with a princess (why is there still princesses in an autocratic empire?) captured by the imperial forces and accused of "terrorism". She decides in a hurry to send two droids with the precious plan of the empire's ultimate weapon (of mass destruction) to a remote planet to find a jedi (why didn't she chose the little greenish one?) in order to help her.
The droids accomplish their mission and the little team undertakes to bring the plans back to the princess on her planet (where they know she is not since she's just been captured!!! :dunno: ) And they save her..etc
Limited and filled with incoherence, the scenario is.


i like to point out the incoherence between episode 3 and 4.

- Luke is exactly the kind of troubled, fearful man his father was. The jedi counsil didn't trust his father for that reason. Obi Wan never learns?
- Ben kenoby says in episode 4: Obi-wan is a name i haven't heard since well before you was born. Humm. What was his name in the end of episode 3?
- Obi-wan uses the force to influence and convince imperial storm troopers. They are weak minds therefore.
But they also are clones of jango fett. Couldn't the fight between obi-wan and jango fett in episode 2 be avoided if he was such a weak mind.


Please feel free to add your comments or answer my questions.

[MortalPlague]

To answer your questions...

Luke is not the same child as his father was. Luke grew up on Tatooine farming moisture, where Anakin grew up on Coruscant among the Jedi and being trained in combat and power. This training and special treatment from the jedi council went to his head.

Secondly, Ben Kenobi is using that as a figure of speech. He's been in exile almost since then, anyway, and it's easier to say 'since before you were born' than 'since shortly after you were born'. That would also be an admission that he was there for Luke's birth.

Finally, I don't think the stormtroopers are still clones at that point. When you clone a clone, they lose a lot in the process, and I think the empire phased out the clones between episode 3 and 4.


Just a note, I think the whole series would have been a stronger one if Darth Maul had survived the first movie and had taken the place of Count Dooku in two and three. Much better.

Spolier warning!

Perhaps a little late compared to the rest of you, but I just got home from the cinema after watching episode 3. The overall feeling with the movie was pleasing and much better than ep 1 and 2 IMO. It however annoyed me how anakin was defeated by Obi-Wan.

- Now I have the higher ground, I'm at and advantage! *cuts anakin's legs off*

I mean, what kind of an advantage was that? He could have cut his legs off at any time during the fight!

I was however impressed by Palpatine's performance. He reminded very much of the older palpatine from episode 6. The way he moved, spoke etc. He even had the same way to smile!

[Spiff]

well its always harder to fight uphill, the sudden defeat was a bit odd though considering anakin had been the better fighter earlier on. Probably just had his ability lowered by the rage...

good old rage

I also think it is much better than 1 & 2, but still I was left at the end with a feeling of lacking something, maybe too much hype?

As for the "the higher ground" line I can see it being a advantage leverage wise if it was hand to hand combat, and with using lightsabres, being higher I would think it would be easier to cut off a hand or head than the feet, but maybe in some Jedi training it is a major advantage.

It was the same actor Ian McDiarmid that played Palpatine in episode 1,2,3,6. I found his groaning, moaning and hissing very annoying on the same level as the dialog from those thin droids.

I would have like more to be explained about why Anakin was the "One" and about the Sith, maybe it was in 1 &2 but I can't remember, haven't seen them since in the theater.

Lucas came close to making a good movie... but it if failed because....


Anakin is lead to believe that the dark side will help him save his loved ones.
Palpatone tells him giving into his anger will makes him powerful, but yet
when his turn to the dark side causes his nightmares to come true.....
you'd think his hate would focus on palpatine....

[HortonsWho]

Saw it again last night and we both felt it was much better the second time (ignoring the dumb droid and Grievous dialogue).

But what really helped was the new theatre we went too. 75ft wide screen :eek: with THUNDEROUS digital sound. It was much more watchable on the giant screen- the detail was not so overwhelming, sound was dramatically better.

Holy h3||, you just read my mind. That's one of the first things I said upon exiting the theater.

Finally got to see it, and I give it a C+ as well, if that. The only nice thing about the movie is finally seeing how it all connects, and how the story unfolds.

1) The dialogue was just as horrid as the first two.

2) The fight scenes were chock-full of CG, CG that blasts the senses and makes you wonder, "Wtf is going on?" It felt like all of the scenes were rushed and purposefully edited to be either: a) a panorama shot of the entire battle so you can just overlay a bunch of lasers to make it look like something is going on, or b) a close-cut shot to avoid paying for more effects shots.

3) The light saber battles (except a few key ones) were laughable. Maybe I'm spoiled by good choreography, I don't know, but they felt bland and dull, not to mention they felt "staged".

4) Did I mention the scripting was horrid? Most of the actors aren't good enough to save it either. It felt mechanical, dry, and emotionless. Just like a daytime soap.

5) The cinematic shots for 95% of the movie were poorly done, and the pacing was incredibly shoddy. This might have been the script's fault as well, but I almost fell asleep during the slow scenes, and most of the battle scenes.

Bleh, ok I'm done blasting it...but overall I thought it was poorly done, especially for how dark of a movie it should have been. It seemed like George took an epic tale and tried to tie up every loose end in a 2 and a half hour movie, when even 6 hours of film wouldn't have sufficed. Rushed, scattered and emotionless. I just found myself not caring about most of the characters.

There is one redeeming quality though: it's better than the first two. Now please, for the love of all that is holy, stop making them George.

On a side note *SPOILERS*:


When Palpatine gave order "66" or whatever and had all the jedis killed by their own army, didn't anyone else find that hugely anti-climactic? Or at least, lazy storytelling?

[Scourgem]

With the exception of "jar jar", Darth Maul was the character I disliked the most. I really did try to accept the whole ominous, demonic, scary guy idea, but try as I might, all I saw was some guy with plastic teeth/horns and makeup all over his face. Laughable. Not that "Dooku" (great name) was an overwhelming alternative.

I was confused by the CG as well, while most of it was really beautiful, some scenes were just visually overwhelming.

[{RA}SKYFURNACE]

CJ pretty much summed it up for me.

[freshie]

With the exception of "jar jar", Darth Maul was the character I disliked the most.

For some reason I really hated General Grievous. I watched the Clone Wars cartoons, and he was presented very ominously in those... however, as soon as he appeared on screen in Episode III, I instantly hated him.

[CJHobbes]

Hmm...yeah, that's a good point Scourgem. He was a bad guy used more for marketing purposes to children, it seemed, with all the makeup and such. Still, I liked his unique look and the light-saber staff was just friggin' pwn.


Grievous was interesting....I didn't like the fact that he looked so bad-azz, yet he lost those battles so easily to the jedi.
Granted Obi is a great fighter, but come on...you'd think the #1 general of the rebel forces, who's killed other jedi before, would put up more of a fight.
It seems his entire strategy was "Don't let him hit me...ok, RUN!"


Just another poor execution on Lucas' part, imo.

[cUnNiNg_StUnTs]

Loved it but I don't feel sorry for Darth Vader, he was way to smart to get suckered in like that. :(
