Revenge of the Sith

**MortalPlague** · 05-19-2005, 05:17 AM

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.

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.

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

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...

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 · 05-19-2005, 11:30 AM

Going to see it in 2 1/ 2 hours.

I looked at the other threads. This one was started after mine. Your thread has three pages of pre-release hype in front of it. I didn't see any others.

{RA}SKYFURNACE · 05-19-2005, 05:15 PM

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

Its positive. Movie is pretty good.

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.

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.
