[kingdark]

could i ask you something?

how old are you exactly? just curious?

[Popcorn2008]

Spell check is your friend darth noob. Yes I enjoyed episode III but not because of the violence. That was just filler to please the youngsters  . I enjoyed the emotional part of the movie and the hidden emotion portrayed through the hidden themes and sequences in said film.

the emotinal stuff was so pathetic it was hilarious  ;D

 

I was laughing during the cheesey romance dialouge and the "sad" part when the jedi were slaughtered

 

especially mace windu's death, I couldn't stop laughing for a long time....

 

the violence was nessecary, lots of people had to be killed. the thing that was thrown in for the kids was the *sigh*  : droid humor.... It's hard to believe that the CIS was winning the war up until ROTS with battle droids that run on Windows 95 with there squeaky voices and "humor" modifications.

 

Good things about ROTS:

Music

Special effects

Plot

Battle scenes

Epic duels

 

Bad things:

Acting & Actors

Dialouge

lack of background info (they could have explained why they couldn't afford to lose kashyyyk)

I think EP III  was very good it had lots of battles, but not to many that they got receptive,  and the battles were well done. The way is glued the trilogies together was very good

 

the emotional stuff was so pathetic it was hilarious  ;D

I think it showed how anikin was being lied to, and deceived, torn between two paths, very well

[Darth Noob]

iam 9 man.

[Megajames]

Fair enough, at 9 the films are all about the battles, but the polls

[Ghostly_Substance]

Poll removed since it is not helping with the convo  ;D

 

And about this topic I have nothing to say since the episode was great.

No offence, but if you had been in the same theatre with me I would have drowned you in your soda. Nothing is more irritating than someone laughing during a dramatic scene.

 

I liked Episode III, it was almost on par with the OT.

[Foshjedi2004]

It was ok. I like ROTJ and ANH better.  Nothing beats ESB though!!

[Darksythe]

Well i liked the the pre-quals, no 1 was fine with aniken, but eps 2 and 3 were awful acting by Hayden Christiansen, though should have casted some one ells for the older role of Aniken, imo he just dosnt fit the part, also want the original DArth Vaders voice more normal english and not US English? i cant remember atm, havent watched 4-5-6 or a long time no offence intended to any one from US but iirc Dath Vader didnt sound American, but mostly Hayden Christiansen is a puke bucket lol, should have realy casted some one ells.

 

I still watch 2 and 3 but mostly for battels and other things, also seems to be alot of cheesynes with Eps 2 and 3 which is mostly Haydens Christiansens fault as being a bad bad actor.

??? Darth Vader was voiced by the same person in ROTS and 4,5,6. James Earl Jones. I think he sounded differnt for two reasons

 

1) James Earl jones is like 30 years older

2) I think they purposely wanted Darth Vader to sound a bit younger

[Darksythe]

iirc the first person to play Darth Vader was English, but had a fall out with Lucas before second and 3rd film was made so they got a diffrant actor in, at least i think thats what happend and i heard from this and that source, thier was a special tv program on called "Generation Jedi" talked about adults and thier years with star wars etc and they went to party etc wich has Star Wars Actors or the English ones and one of those was Darth Vader or at least for the first Movie Eps 4.

Im the same way... and I agree entirely. Laughing during the dramatic stuff just goes to show you don't understand the underlying themes and such. Which Star Wars contains many themes, all of which are amazing and really speak to me.

 

Action is just a side plot, to the actual events going on in Anakin's life.

It's the underlying themes that are more dramatic in the prequel trilogy than in the original that make almost me like the prequels better. Plus, I watched the OT after the PT and it just made so much more sense. All the loose threads in the OT are linked up in the PT. It made the OT even better.

laughing at poorly potrayed dramatic stuff is okay, with some better actors and some better dialouge then it would'nt have been so laughable

This just proves how childish some people are. Star Wars isn't just all about space battles and lightsaber duels. It's about REDEMPTION. Think about that next time you pop in a Star wars movie.

 

May the Force grant you maturity.

[Mikan Cyclone]

Altogether, I thought this movie was pretty leet.  Except for one thing, the thing that irked me about the prequals:

 

C.G.I.

 

= EVIL!

 

None of the Cgi characters look as real as they do in the OT.  It just is a pet peeve of mine...but, other than that, I thought it was pretty good.

childish? if the underlying themes were better potrayed in ROTS then it might actually have been nominated for awards rather than shunned as a kids movie. The OT actually had good underlying themes and whatnot. and The prequals? mmmmmmmm.... not so much. Actually all the prequals are in the top 100 worst sequals of all time. (yes, when I heard that I too refused to believe it.)

 

I'm resisting the urge to defend myself with flame so in that case just look to the left at my avatar.

 

OUT! OUT!

That's because in the OT, they were real...they were just made out of rubber and junk. I prefer CG, because you can get realistic movement and emotions and stuff, which you can't get from puppets.

Yes, I know they were puppets and models, but I could kinda relate to them a little because they looked REAL.  Now you know their fake, so I think it takes away some of the feeling from the movies.

Actually ROTS wasnt nominated for many academy awards for other reasons. A true Star Wars fan knows that George Lucas is not a member of the Writers and Directors guild and theirfore his films are usually shunned from the academy awards. This was due to the fact that the guild wouldnt let him display the credits at the end of the movie. If the credits were displayed at the begining it would ruin the text scroll that is trademark to star wars movies.

 

The prequels do indeed have many underlying themes, redemption, corruption, etc. Though many of these themes require a higher understanding of themes in general. Much of Star Wars is based on myths and folklore, so you really have to be well read in order to fully understand the beauty of the Star Wars story. Or of course, you may be a very bright person and in which case you catch on anyways.

 

But yes flames are forbidden.

Unfortunately no one can deny that George Lucas is the king of wooden dialogue, even he has admitted it.  To quote Harrison Ford, "George you can write this shit, but you can't say it!"

 

Lucas has never been an exceptional director, in fact he only directed Episode IV and finished up Episode VI after a falling out.  Considering those two are the poorer of the OT I think its clear to me that George never was all that good of a director... After all sometimes the actors rise above their material, they certainly did in the OT.

 

As for the prequeals let me just say this... Melodrama gets old fast!  I mean he puts lines in the mouths of Padme and Anakin that are just downright childish.  Lines like, "Anakin you're breaking my heart." It's like something out of a dumb high school soap opera.  She's supposed to be a career diplomat and politician for god's sake.  You'd think she'd be a little more eloquent, or at least more mature. Hell, I'm 19 and I can write dialogue thats better then that.

 

In ROTS some actors did well and some didn't.  Ewan Mcgrevor's sp? performance was very good, as was the performance of the man playing Chancellor Palpatine.  Unfortunately the same can not be said for the other actors, Natalie Portman is quite competent but failed to rise above the material, and as much as Star Wars fans hate him, Hayden Christianson sp? wasn't horrible but it was definitely hit and miss.

 

If you want someone to blame for the poor quality of dramatic and emotional moments in ROTS there is only one place to drop the blame, George.

Or, we could not place blame on anybody, sit down, shut up and enjoy all the movies like TRUE Star Wars fans.  ;D

 

Star Wars is fun to watch, I don't care what episode you're watching. The immense clashes between the forces of good and evil, the emotion, the action, the drama.... Acting is secondary to the sheer power of the series, and it's quite spectacular when you just let all the criticism go, step back, and enjoy the show.
