Coolest movie of the prequals. R2 rocks in this one

***SPOILERS INSIDE***


Ok, Its probably IMO the best of the 6. It ends almost perfectly, every thing is explained, all questions anwered. Gotta hand one ot ol'George on this one.

My favourite scene? Not any one scene is my favourite, I liked....nah, LOVED the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin, it made the yoda fight in AOTC look like a friendly gentlemen's duel. . Then i particularly liked the way the yoda vs. palpatine fight was, it was everything i expected of it, and more. Somehow i think, in the starting of the movie, Dooku died too easily. And Grevious too. And how was it that Windu beat Palpatine? (It occoured to me that that could have been a plot to turn anakin to the dark side).

The really cool part of the movie is the ending. When they explain how luke and leia reach where they are, and how the death star came to be. Oh, and the force storm that vader throws when he heas that he killed padme, was cool too. Every thing around them totally disintigerated, and even the emperor had to cringe to have himself.

What still amazes me is how this movie so perfectly blend in with Ep4: A new hope. I somehow alweays felt that the prequel trilogy will never fully intigrate with the original trilogy, because of the wide difference between the visual effects and for many other reasons. But now I stand corrected. One can watch all 6 movies in continuation, (Dont try it. You'll prolly get RSI or something .) and not feel the transition between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy.

OOooh, and another thing: I loved the return of the Wookies and Chewbacca, and their home word of Rwoorkoo . Totally amazing.

One Final Word: If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on some serious shit. Its one phenomenal movie, my favourite of the 6.

What a fantastic film! The acting was a little wooden in places, especially from Christensen, but otherwise it really was top notch.

The lightsaber duels were stunning; the sace battles were magnificent; the backdrops breathtaking.

I think Lucas has given us a film that really live sup to the original three with Revenge of the Sith. It is difficult to say whether it is the best of all the Star Wars films; in terms of special effects it is by far the best of course, but I think I would still have to say that Episode IV just pips it to the post, but not by much.

I saw it yesterday, and GREAT movie!

However, I DO have a minor bone to pick.

***Spoilers***

In the scene where Vader/Anakin throws the force storm after he learns of Padme's death, the "NOOOO" seemed VERY cheesy. I would have liked him to fall to his prosthetic knees, look up to the ceiling and raise his hands THEN throw the force storm. As it is it was just an annoying, almost pathetic, slight bend of the knees and "nooo".

Meh, as an aspiring 3d artist I really appreciated all the effects and, of course, Yoda.

@nicko

I agree, that scene could have been better. The shout itself felt a little muted (pardon the pun) and I would have thought that James Earl Jones could have summoned up a deep rumble to shake us in our seats with!

An excellent film, a bit better than the first two films (which I didn't think were too bad!)

I did think at times that things were inserted very deliberately to lead on to Episode 4, perhaps some things were a little too forced (no pun intended) imho.

A lot certainly gets packed into two hours, the amount that goes off in it plotwise feels almost like a 3-hour film, which is something I feel is a mark of a good film, certainly in this case

** Spoilers - just don't read this thread if I even have to type this K? This is not the thread you're looking for. (/wave) **



Certainly better than 1 & 2, though I still prefer the originals. The space battles in jedi I think were better, but this bought some of his directorial magic back that was sorely missing in 1 and 2. It just shows when he makes for the target audience that appreciate it more, he makes a better film.

I have a few bones and most of them have been echoed here, it seemed to really push towards epi 4.

yoda and chewy aparently had a great relationship, but you'd never know from the film really. Something expanding this would have been good imo.

Does absolutely EVERYTHING lead to the darkside? (sorry caps lead to the darkside)

How could you not tell as a jedi something was wrong with Anakin, and agreed scots, his acting was more wooden than the entirity of Team America. (derka derka darkside)

I was bloody enthralled to see obi wan finally kick some ass. Though grevious did die too easily imo, but at least there was some time involved in doing it. Didn't that clone feel like a right plonker giving him back his lightsabre not 2 minutes before the order was given

I wish darth had been "made" a little earlier and that he had goen out to hunt some of the jedi.. it just seemed so much of a let down for the clones to do it and none of them really sensing it. Him executing jedi as a result of padme's death and subsequent lack of hairstyles would have been far more thrilling.

It took over 20 years to finish the death star, yet ahalf of jedi to make 3/4's of one? man, contractors sucked in the old republic more than contractors today!

I see why they blew up olderan, what a boring place

Like nick, I too cringed at the Noooooooooo thing, ugh... Though on seeing the movie a second time i couldn't help thinking about the scene form the comic convention in chasing amy.. "They all trying to tell us that deep inside.. we's all want to be white!" - Darth, now with white guy inside.

The award for dumbest jedi duo goes to: obi wan and yoda..

Why? They could have both taken palpatine, then anakin and restored balance to the force.
This would have negated the last 3 movies, but hey

Anyone else think Samuel l jackson was a little wooden too? I think the only thing that would have helped improved him woudl have been if he pointed at the emperor saying "You're one bad mutha f.."

Still an enjoyable movie and i may see it once more as well with other mates.. I'm glad it showed a little of the wide eye enjoyment (the opening scenes especially) of the original "last" 3 movies. This one didn't feel like he was setting up a franchise so much as telling a story.
