Star Wars - Episode III (spoilers contained!)

[Gunner80]

Great movie. Everything episodes I&II should've been.

Off to see it again (and again on Sunday) - i will like it, and i will keep going untill i do (or i run out of people to go see it with...)

[badapple81]

BRILLIANT!

No other words to describe it! A perfect way to end it all!

[Izzy]

Just got back from seeing it again

It is fantastic, i wasn't sure about it at first but after a while u can explain away most of the problems

I thought for a Star Wars film it was quite emotionally powerful, the second time around u'r not so blinded by the FX and can appreciate the film itself

Top stuff

I've seen it a few times now and absolutely loved it. I knew the story going in to the first showing but still got caught up in the visuals and the much improved acting. Hayden was much better even though I dont think he was that bad last time, thats just how the character was written. Ian McDirmind(sp) as Palpatine/Emperor stole the show I thought. Kind of made me wish Lucas gave him more to do in the other films. As Izzy pointed out not everything was perfectly wrapped up, but most of the major points were addressed. My personal favorite moment was towards the end on Mustafar when Anakin looks away from Padme and sees Obi Won standing at the top of the ramp to Padmes ship. Great visual and also, in my opinion, the moment that truly pushed Anakin completely over to the "Dark Side"

I also saw the movie in a "Digital" equipped theatre and there are no additional scenes that I noticed, so dont fall for any rumors that there is extended scenes in the Digital version. It does look and sound better though. Overall I'd say Lucas delivered big time in Episode 3. Easily the best of the prequels and just might be the best of them all, if not right behind "Empire Strikes Back"

I can second that - seen it in digital and regular

So much better in digital though, the crackly picture of a regular cinema looks distinctly old fashioned these days....

Palpatine stole the show for sure - some wonderful lines he was given and the way he played on Anakin's fears was fantastic, all Palpatine scenes showed excellent writing and acting

The movie was awsome!! As an anecdote in the scene where Obi-Wan was fighting with grivious There was a tremor in my country. All the people inside the cinema were standing up their chairs And I pissed off cause I couldn't watch the movie I yelled Fuck Off and sit everybody, one guy told no way cause there's a huge tremor, right then I felt it, but I didnt give a shit! I rather stay watching the movie instead of running away, those pussys can't handle a tremor!!

I love Anaken *SP* Skywalker's character, when he was on the screen it was one of the greatest movies ever

when it was someone else it kind of dropped off for me but his storyline is so intriguing and amazing.

I agree, I think he was great.  I thought he looked pretty cool in the long black hooded cape. 

There were parts where I thought it was a little corny, and parts where I thought they could have made it better.

Overall it was good.  Im not sure if I liked it better than episode II though.

Pretty cool film. Acting usually ranged from good to excellent, with the occasional dip into satisfactory. Good movie for idiots like me who tend to talk all the way through films, 'cause there were plenty of opportunities to deliver half-witty/stupid remarks about it, to whoever you're with in the cinema. Some of the scriptwriting made me chuckle, like when Anakin said something along the lines of "All that can save you now are my new powers"  Yes, that's right Buzz. To infinity....AND BEYOND!

I don't think I'll go out of my way to watch it again, but my criticisms are only lighthearted ones. I did enjoy it, and it was an afternoon well-spent.

One thing which really wasn't resolved, or maybe it was.. is how C-3PO and R2-D2 ended up with Princess Leia at the beginning of Episode 4?

Is it assumed they went with Leia and the guy who said he and his wife would adopt her? I guess it must be.

I couldnt watch movies with u TJ   

corny dialogue  u role your eyes at sometimes but Anakin turning was awesome, just how he went from one extreme of good to the darkside, all motivated by love, that scream he had at the end when he found out she was dead was spine chilling.

Would Padme had died anyway? I know Yoda told ANakin to let go of everything and everyone he loved but i have a theory that Anakin turning to the darkside killed Padme.

the doctors said there wasnt anything they could tell killing her that it was like she didnt want to live.

I think Anakin turning to the dark side and killing the kids made her want to die, so his nightmares were sort of a premonition of his turn.

what do u think?

Yes, she died because of Anakin turning, brilliant how they were both on the table, switching between the two, as Anakin was being made into Vadar, she was dying on the table giving birth.

Star Wars sparks US political storm

The new Star Wars film is causing a political storm in the United States, with one group calling for a boycott of the film, which they say is unpatriotic.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith includes a scene in which Darth Vader tells his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi that he is either with him or against him.

Some US activists are comparing DARTH VADER'S actions to those of President George W Bush in persuading legislators to adopt the Patriot Act.

Critics say the act imposed limits on civil liberties after the September the 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks.

And conservative group called Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood is calling for a boycott of the film.

But Star Wars creator George Lucas insists that the film's story was written long before the war on terror took centre stage in US politics.

D, when you talk about Vader's scream at the end, do you mean when he went 'NOOOOO!!' ? That was one of the bits I laughed at  It reminded me of Luke's scream in the scene he found out he was Vader's son. Unless my memory serves me really poorly? I just seem to remember the scream sounded similar. Could even have been on purpose, I guess.

At the end of the film they are given by Bail Organa to Captain Antillies who is the captain of the ship they are aboard at the end of Ep.3 and at the beginning of Ep.4 - how do i know? -  there is an entire scene about it

People like this actually exist? No matter how much i learn about America i realise the truth is far far worse than i could ever imagine
