star wars episode III thread

[Billabond1]

Hey, i just got back from the Star Wars episode III mid-night premier.  I will post my thoughts on it after i get some sleep.

 Please post what you think when you see it.

[sully!]

I thought it was lame, overrated, poor special effects, horrible dialogue, and the theatre smelled like urine.

Just kidding it friggin' rocked! Darth is so eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

And on a side note, I finally got on the bandwagon and started a blog. I have more thoughts on there and even a live report of the happenings

LOL, from your audio blog, "I have never dressed up for a movie, but I am kinda wishing I was dressed as a wookie right now...I like wookies.  I don't know.  Wookies are just I - I dont know, they're to cool for words."

As far as the movie goes, i thought it was very good.  It was, fo sho, the best of the new three movies.  Of course, nothing could rival the original three.  

I was at hoyts for the movie.  I got there at 9:pm and there were loads of people there.  The people i met there had gotten there at 6:pm and there were lots of people there then.

I saw lots of people dressed up, and here are some

I just got done seeing the film, and my thoughts on it were it was absolutely amazing. All my questions have been answered and now I cant wait for the DVD. When it comes out ill get all the other movies and watch them all in order. I agree Sully Darth is the shizzny. I cant even touch on anything cuz i dont want to give anything away. Good thing i bought my tickets like a week before the movie. Yoda is the true jedi master, bouncing little midget. LOL But if you are a star wars fan go see this movie you will be glad you did.

I absolutely loved the movie.  I have only one complaint though - Hampden 8 needs to put in a better sound system or stop playing movies like Star Wars in it because I really wanted to "feel" the special effects, the sound system absolutely sucked.   I'm going to go see it again over at Hoyts where "real" surround sound takes place.

Two thumbs up

I saw it this afternoon, and after being surrounded by 2 starwars fanatics for 7 years I must say i'm kinda dissapointed. Yes, it did tell the story, but it had weak dialogue. And I think they overkilled the CGI. Granted, it was starwars, so it still has a warm spot in my heart. Even if lucas has given up


SPOILERS BELOW:










To quote kevin smith from http://viewaskew.com/news/sith/:
 

- And, hands-down, the best link-up to "Star Wars" moment that I enjoyed the most: Bail Organa and Yoda stepping into the hallway of the Rebel Blockade Runner that opened "Star Wars". Unlike all the high-tech CGI wizardry of the rest of the prequel Trilogy, this is a low-tech looking set, right out of circa '77, and for some reason, it really captured my imagination. I mean, this is the same exact hallway in which we got our first look at Vader, oh so many years ago, and I appreciated the hell out of Mr. Lucas including it - because it really felt like a nod to the hardcores.

This was the coolest moment in the film, with the seccond being the very end scene. Lucas needed to make the entire film these moments. And I reall feel that lucas needed to focus on the storytelling, the original trilogy didn't have hunders of gigahertz of processing power beind them, they had creativity and an amazing storyline. The new trilogy (ep 1-3) have neither, they have lucas trying to cash in on the francheise and show off how much they can do in the editing bay. These movies can be as flashey and as prety as they want to be, but without content or creativity they just become your everyday spacemovie.

The one other thing that has puzzled me in the new 3 films (ep 1-3) is some of the design elements. Like for example, there is no possible way some of these characters could have evolved to the form they are in now. Also it seems lucas had lost the creativity in the last 3 films sticking with humanoid based characters (compared to some of the greats like the hutts.) And some of the ships are very poorly designed, like having huge doors to let a tiny starfighter out. Coursecant was very well designed though, and I give lucas lots of credit to making it look right.

thats all for now on my rant, it seems bipolor but I hope I get my point across. Being a major fan of the original trilogy, I really had a level of expectation of the new ones, which i was dissapointed not to have seen. But to quote my mom "The first 3 are an amazing act to follow, and you'd be crazy to expect them to do so, with the originals being way ahead of their time."

ok, done for real now

tekie your a wierd kid...you always disagree with others just to add the controversy and on top of it all you posted spoilers which in my book is evil because for those who have not seen the movie yet we ask you a ?   Do you know how tempting it is to click on that link just to ruin the great image you had of that movie by some jerk off who has no personality and gets way to much money to critique and downgrade a great classic like starwars??? VERY!!!

the only beef i had with it was that in the first bit of the movie...the whole rescue palpatine bit... the acting sucked ass for some reason. palpatine's acting more specifically. after that point tho it was fine. like they fired the director after that.

I absolutely loved the movie.
