worst movie I've seen in years....now I know why people wanted to see the Midnight showing, so it would be easier to fall asleep (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) if it wasn't for wanting to see why Vadar had to have his special "costume", I would have been happy to leave the theater early...... |

I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it still makes me mad! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
I find it impossible to believe that Lucas wrote these last three movies the same time he wrote the original three (I hear nine total) unless it was something like this for the first three episodes: Episode One: Darth Vader as a boy, end. Episode Two: Darth Vader gets a little older and really pissy, end. (Flying R2D2? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) ) Episode Three: Darth Vader knocks up chick, gets more pissy, kills some people & losses big fight and has to wear plastic hat (note to self, add Wookies in it somewhere), end. (Death Star WTF!) Rant Off! |

too much romance crap ...
why do all those "action" movies that come out lately have to be full with all that emotional crap? can't they just shoot each other, like in the good old days? Andy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sheeplove.gif) |

I'm not a costume wearing, line camping, plastic light sabre waving, line reciting, Lucas worshipping, Jedi wannabee... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
I could have easily given in to that destiny, but I was able to keep my mind clear and avoid the trappings of the dark side. What am I saying? I am your father...Nooooo! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) I liked it and the whole series. I'll watch episode VI tonight. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I like the fact that the line " I have a bad feeling about this " is carried through ALL the movies and said by nearly every character. KT |

I dont care what all of you think, the guy made billions of dollars off of one idea that carried him through for the rest of his life, his kids lives and their kids lives. The guy is a genius. I loved the whole series and now own VHS and DVD of all that are available. When #3 comes out, I will have the whole set. I may even go see it again int he theater. I enjoyed it.
I am not to the point I would ever camp out though. |

The kid that played Anniken went to my highschool...it was some years after I was there so I never got the chance to "pants" him and shove him into the girls washroom...but someone must have because Darth really was pissy.
I have learned that you really can't go into a movie these days with expectations, they always get let down, but sometimes you see a flick that you had no idea about and it just blows you away...who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Bob Esponja. |

I guess my problem is no matter how much special effects & eye candy, there has to be a good story to carry a movie.
If you take I, II & II by themselves you get a C+ trilogy but when you try to sell people that this was the prequel to IV, V & VI how can you call it anything but crap? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I have no problem with Lucas but he is trying to sell the idea that this was his vision all along and it has nothing to do with money. Two words, Darth Tatar (pleaseeee). I mean at least the Sex Pistols (arguably the first ‘boy band’) had the guts to tell us it was all about the money. |

they even titled one of their albums "The great Rock'n'Roll swindle" ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) Andy PS and BTW: if you haven't seen the movie bearing the same title, go get it on DVD, it's worth watching ... |

Star Wars: Return of the Sith (ROTS for short...haha) wasn't all that bad. What pisses me off most about ole George is that he flat refuses to release the original trilogy on DVD in its original unmolested theatrical release version. I can't stand most of the stupid changes he made. They're mindless. HAN SHOT FIRST!!! hahaha
What it comes down to is George had this idea, an idea that was pretty much stolen from a handful of other movies and such, but he added a space twist to it and the Force©. It was a good idea and he had some friends around him back in the 70's that were able to take the idea and run with it. Then George takes all the credit, pisses off said friends and without their help, episodes 1, 2 and 3 show it. Heck, it was even apparent already in episode 6. IMHO Sith may be the the 3rd best of the 6 movie series. Its a shame he couldn't have done a better job though. I think the story had so much there, technology nowadays can do so much more. Instead of hitting a home run, he hits a grounder between 2nd and 3rd for a single. |

He should have let someone else write ROTS like he did with ESB and ROTJ. I think this'll be the last time he's allowed to write dialog....ever again.
I enjoyed it. People were looking for a 'second coming' with this one...or somethign to justify their childhood dreams or something like that. It was a MOVIE...get over it. |

What's not to like?
More entertaining than most garbage *they* feed us. Who cares what you think of Lucas. He's sucessful and finishes what he starts. Can't fault that... Plus, minimal Jar-Jar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) KT |

where to start...too many computer generated scenes, the anikin/vader actor couldn't be any stiffer if he was made of wood, weak story line, jj binks, natale portman wasn't topless, the way the sound is mixed makes any dialog impossible to understand. yoda was more believable when he was a puppet.

Lucas says Star Wars is a 9 part series and episodes 7, 8 and 9 are not going to be made. ...though I read a trilogy by Timothy Zahn that someone said may be the last three parts and I really enjoyed them... Heir to the Empire Dark Force Rising The Last Command Personally, I do consider my opinion of the person standing behind something above their level of success. I may be alone in this, but if I have a big enough problem with a person or company, I will not do business with them even if it is cheaper or easier. My problem with Lucas isn't so big that I won't see the movie; I saw it, once, but I saw the Lord of the Rings movies several times each and purchased all the special edition versions to support what I viewed as a really great product put together by someone who poured a lot of time and effort and heart into it. Lucas's recent stuff just seems half-assed. As though he knows (unfortunately correctly) that he can put out garbage, slap a Star Wars title on it and make a fortune. Ah well, wish I were in his shoes...heh. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) BTW, I'm sure have all seen this by now, but its always good for a laugh. ..."which one of these calls your mommy?"...HAHAHA |
