Hayden Christansen had evil Anakin nailed down.
What little romance stuff there was really didn't even seem cringe worthy.
To steal a phrase, that movie had UNLIMITED POWER!
Apparently so- the one we saw was longer.Joe wrote:Did we watch a different movie?

I don't see how you can call some of the stuff in Episode III terrible when I've seen far more horrific stuff in B5 for example. There were some unintentionally funny scenes, but dammit, the film had barely no love stuff, was dark and had Palpatine fulfilling his legacy.fgalkin wrote:I was left distinctly unimpressed. There were a lot of awesomne stuff but the Padme stuff killed it all. My god, that shit was almost painful to watch.
As for the rest, Yoda saves the movie, anything he did was incredibly cool, Dark Side Anakin was just angst+10, the Clones sucked (that's what you get fior watching a movie with a bunch of military guys), and the fact that Jar Jar lives was a great crime. I rate the movie 6.5/10 overall, 8.5/10 if you ignore the whole Padme/Anikin crap.
Have a very nice day.

Doesn't she have another line between those two that makes it more understandable?fgalkin wrote:Anakin : The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me.
Padme: Anakin, you're breaking my heart!
Stuff like that. The cheesiest, corniest crap you can come up with, rivalling the worst parts of B5.
Have a very nice day.

How else should it have gone? Go on, recommend lines he could've said instead that wouldn't sound lovey-dovey. The romance is at a bare minimum as are the lines of expressive emotion. Any more snippage and you'd wonder why the hell Padmé and Anakin even shared the same building together.fgalkin wrote:

I said I walked out at one point. During the Anikin/Padme scenes after the battle. I came back in a few minutes later and watched the rest of the film. The rest of the movie was just as bad.Vympel wrote:Apparently so- the one we saw was longer.Joe wrote:Did we watch a different movie?
Walking out during RotS, wtf?
Yes, I stayed through the other two. My tastes have grown up during the past few years.Vympel wrote:Ok you're officially insane.

The dialogue and pacing were amature at best, and the battle scenes were hit and miss, emphasis on miss.
4 out of 10. This does not give me hope for the tv series.
I'd have to agree, it was like watching two middle school kids trying to have a relationship, except they're both adults. You'd think after so many years of growing up and being with each other that their relationship would grow and mature as well, but no. If anything it's regressed, by god I've probably heard twelve year olds hold more meaningful conversations. One of them's a Jedi who's out in the galaxy and I'd think he's interacting with people, and Padme's a public official who deals with people every day, how could they be so utterly clueless with each other? You'd think they have some kind of people skills? My god, what's wrong with them? Are they both mental cases or something?fgalkin wrote:There were a lot of awesomne stuff but the Padme stuff killed it all. My god, that shit was almost painful to watch.
Given one is a queen who wears the most insane gowns and the other is a guy who has started mastering the Light and Dark sides of the Force, I'd say they're not your usual kids. It's not like they were living in Orange County and partying all day long. Anakin was out massacring Separatists and Padmé was either doing politics or distressing over being pregnant.jmac wrote:Are they both mental cases or something?
About four nights on Coruscant passed in that film. So, possibly about four or five days.PainRack wrote:Does anyone knows how long the events depicted were in ROTS?
I think she was pregnant for quite some time before Anakin returned.The pacing was so fast that it virtually seemed as if Padme was pregnant for a week before she gave birth.
I bolded the lines that I think make it weak. I suspect it's the delivery coupled with Padme's awful make-up making the audience say, "Dude, she doesn't look beautiful right now." The rest of the scene works rather well, I'd say. I thought Anakin's content/pseudo-aroused gaze at Padme while she's talking in the beginning of the scene was particularly effective.PADME: Ani, I want to have our baby back on Naboo. We can go to the Lake Country where no one will know, where we can be safe. I can go early and fix up the baby's room. I know the perfect spot. Right by the garden.
ANAKIN: You are so...beautiful.
PADME: That's only because I'm so in love.
ANAKIN: No. *chuckles* No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
PADME: So love has blinded you?
ANAKIN: *chuckles* That's not exactly what I meant
PADME: But it's probbaly true.
to all you people who think this movie is remotely bad. Two lines do not kill a movie. Against the grain? You're only saying what everyone else I've talked to has been saying. The relationship was done well unlike the overdone stuff of AotC. The relationship wasn't normal either by the very nature of the two people in it. I honestly can't find fault here.The Wookiee wrote:I'll have to go against the grain and say that I didn't find the Padme/Anakin stuff awkward or painful at all to watch. In fact, I think they were better done overall than they were in AOTC. These are two people who have led very sheltered lives; of course their relationship is going to be awkward. Especially since, y'know, Anakin is the brooding, evil type.
I'm sorry, but you haven't been watching the same movies. Firstly, Sith *Are* angry. That's where they get their strength from. As for this coldness of Vader distortion- watch as Vader strangles Antilles on Tantive IV. Did he sound calm and collected then to you? How about when he was lecturing Leia after her capture? Or when he was beating the crap out of Luke in the last part of the Cloud City duel? Vader can be both, and Anakin showed both, both before and during the duel. His reaction at hearing of Padme's death is to be expected, and anyone who thinks he should be cold is just being absurd.fgalkin wrote: The coldness of Vader, not this "I'm going to throw a temper tantrum" stuff.
