So I'm a little behind the times and just finally saw Revenge of the Sith last night. All I really have to say is "meh."

Since we all knew how things were going to turn out, Lucas could have thrown in a couple curveballs to keep things interesting. Like, it could have turned out that Yoda was actually Luke and Leah's dad, then we could have seen some hot Yoda on Natalie Porkman action. Yoda would've been all up in that ass with his ears and lightning would've been shooting out of Porkman's toes.

Then, I might actually believe Annakin turning to the dark side and killing Porkman after she tells him all the juicy details. But no, Lucas decided to play it safe.... what a pussy.

i think natalie portman is hot, but sex with yoda...kind of gross.

Portman and Yoda sitting in a tree...k-i-s-s-i-n-g...

Oh, I'm not saying a little Padme-Yoda lovin' wouldn't be absolutely heinous, I'm just saying the movie was a little too linear.

Give me some curves, Lucas just put on screen what everyone was expecting to see - Padme's preggers with Luke and Leah, almost all the Jedi die, Palpatine is the Emperor, Annakin turns into Vader.

MEH!

No, he would use roofies and coke. C'mon, Padme's rich and a party girl... She's probably like the Paris Hilton of Naboo.

I still say it was easily the best of the new movies. As an Obi-Wan fan, I enjoyed it.

Gato, I think you're a little Yoda-curious.... you sick freak, seek some help.

It wasn't supposed to be a new material movie. It was supposed to be "You know what happens, but now you can see it happen." If you watch the movies in order, it's definetly a curveball thing, but of course we've seen the ending first.

DeathToWindows · Nov 7, 2005, 12:56 AM

any movie with the lines "You're beautiful b/c I love you" and "I love you b/c you're beautiful" makes me want to vomit!

I totally deserve to get disciplined by the mods for saying this, but damn, your mind is f*cked up. Get some help.

And besides, it wouldnt work anyway--how would you explain Luke and Leia not being midgets (although not as small as Yoda) and not being mildly green? Not to mention that if the ass-f*cking action you seem to have wanted to see went down... well, I've never heard of anyone getting pregnant through the ass.

I mean, I totally agree that a few twists and turns would have been nice. But nothing like what you are talking about.

Also, knowing what happens doesn't necessarily ruin the thing--I watched the Ep 3 DVD on friday, and on saturday I saw a play at my shcool: The Diary of Anne Frank. I knew exactly what was going to happen, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Very powerful. Now obviously Ep 3 is fictional and thus nowhere near as tragic as The Diary of Anne Frank, but both are examples of a similar concept--we watch it not to see what will happen, but how it will happen, and how the director imagines it happening.

Personally, I'd much rather watch George Lucas's imagination than yours.

Scandalous Ion Cannon · Nov 7, 2005, 02:52 AM

I agree the movie is pretty meh also. I just couldn't connect with it.

I found the action scenes in Clones were actually better, the battle in the end was awesome. Yes all the romance sucked.

What I didn't like about Ep3 is that it jumps around too much for no real reason other then to show you new planets. The General looked cool but he sounded like Dark Helmet and the hacking was lame. 4 lightsabers were also a bit tacky.... maul had double ended, aniken fought with two... next step...4!

The Wookiee battle were just there for the sake of having wookies.

Some really cool looking ships in Ep3 as always.

I'm just lamenting the fact that Lucas didn't take any chances with the story and provide a twist that makes you think "Damn, I didn't see that coming." Instead, the movie plays out just like what's scripted, and other than the special effects, makes it a little boring.

loki74 · Nov 7, 2005, 03:22 AM

Well... there were some things I was disappointed with in the movie. but overall I thought it was pretty kick ass.

A twist here or there would have been cool, I guess, but I can't really blame the guy from not "taking any risks." I mean, if you think of all the midless fanboys out there you would totally go nuts if it wasn't exactly the way it "should be" (ie what they are expecting) its really no surprise they stuck to the book.

And of course there is no twist that can upstage the "I am your father." thing... I mean... thats asking for a bit too much, don't you think?

Did you notice his lubricating strip?

I liked the bit where George Bush killed Samuel Jackson.

I thought this was the best one out of the new three that were just released these past few years.

You can make the argument when episode I came out. I know Anakin because Darth Vador...

I wasn't expecting war and peace, it was a well made very nicely put together movie. I was looking forward to seeing this hit the streets in DVD. I waited a couple of days, since there are some people who had to have it on day one, I was not one of them and no use in getting caught up in that. I think I heard some people were lining up and were dressed in star wars garb. That's a little over the top imho.

I looking forward to getting the DVD soon. Looking forward to seeing the film.

Unless you're non-English speaking. In some language Darth Vader translates into something like Dark Father. So for some people, finding out Vader was a father was kind of a no-brainer.

Lucas himself said he didn't know he was going to do that until he wrote Empire and even then he almost chickened out.

Same goes for Luke and Leia being siblings (that is why they hit on each other in the first one).

production_coordinator · Nov 7, 2005, 01:42 PM

I agree... MEH... but the best of the new movies by far. At least I would give this one at least one full star.

Dark Helmet · Nov 7, 2005, 02:08 PM

I found the space battle in the beginning the best part. Even that was too cluttered and complicated though. Lucas doesn't believe in white space, every bit of free space has to be filled with a droid or laserbeam.

The Windozer · Nov 7, 2005, 02:18 PM

Firefly completely ruined that movie for me.

WHY IS THERE SOUND IN SPACE?
