Star Wars

 

I've not seen Ep. III yet, but i can say, despite super-technological effects, the first trilogy is better.

...and, generally, any prequel (see also "Enterprise") sucks !

It was very tragic. All the way through watching it I couldn't stop thinking how things were gonna turn extremely bad and stay that way.

Episode I is a big disappointment.

Episode II was much beter.

And I expect Episode III will be just fantastic (hevan't seen it yet).

 

I think Episode 3 is AMAZING!!! (I saw it yesterday).

Personally I can't pick out any single one that I love or hate... I love them ALL!!! All six films are definately amoung my fave movies ever!

I wondered why did they put in Jar jar Binks if they knew most adults or teens would have liked it?

BECAUSE they are CORPORATE WHORES THATS WHAT.

Can anybody tell me what's IMO, IMHO, IMAO? and all that stuff??

What I really dislike about episode I & II is the stupid "funny" stuff like that non-porpouse Jar Jar Binks, ok they find him speak with his king and his race helps but thats it, is jar jar needed in the whole 2 movies, it seems that it's a charachter for 5 year-old-children who ask their parents to take them to see jar jar.  It doesn't have a real role like golum in the lord of the rings or something.

Fortunately he desapeared in episode III  and the story is much better (to me). 

I think that the first one, "Episode IV" had an
atmosphere to it the other films lack. Although all of
the films, thought I see them to be somewhat sentimental,
have an "edge" to them.
To hell with the Ewoks.

And the script is woow... Pay attention to what political scheming Palpatine is up to, and I ask you after seeing part III where all of his plots unfold, is that story not DEEP? I stick with the idea part II is the best yet and some people can't understand that because they desperately want the same. Nope, no progression.

Good acting? It seems terribly obvious (as somebody said, one-dimensional) acting to me - everyone knows what's going to happen so if Anakin's personality was meant to hint at that, it could at least have been subtle. For Star Wars films I do want the same type - that's what Star Wars films are for. The original three were never groundbreaking in terms of stories/acting/scripts but they were damn fun.

 (though it was no worse than Mr. Colt 45 as Lando),



Not to mention the horror that is Jar Jar Binks. And
did anyone notice that the evil trade embargo dudes
in the first one had faux-Japanese accents? I really
started to doubt Lucas's sanity after seeing that
movie.

However, the new one is getting uniformly good
reviews, so I'm excited.

I just wish the movies had an electronic soundtrack,
like Vangelis did for Blade Runner. John Williams is
fine, but I get tired of orchestral scores.
