The movie was well done. I liked the fact that Lucas had Anakin become Darth Vader long before he was forced (pun intended) to wear the famous black breathing armor suit. That way, it created a sense of suspense. Compare to episodes 1 and 2, this is by far the best one in the prequel trilogy. The acting was much better than in the previous two prequels, even Christensen's performance was an improvement, although the dialogue was still cheesy, but not as much in episodes 1 and 2. Speaking of the previous prequels, episode 1 sucked big time and while episode 2 was fairly decent, episode 3 puts them both to shame. Everything was tied up neatly and I salute Lucas and his people on a damn great job. The only gripes I have about the movie was that it dragged a little bit in the middle part of the story, and the fact that Leia was just a newborn baby and was able to remember her mother Padme, who died just seconds after giving birth to her and Luke. Which brings me to an important question: How come Leia was able to remember her mother and not Luke? Plus, I didn't like the way how Anakin's injuries was executed either. Let's face it, for all intents and purposes, he should have died on that black hot steaming sand when he erupted into flames, and yet miraculously the flames were put out in time for Emperior Palpatine to rescue him. Therefore, I think Anakin's injuries should be seen as a metaphor for his ascent into evil. What does everybody else thinks?

WHitestar, Liea was brought up by the senator and his wife on alderan. it therefore stands to reason that the woman she remembers is his wife. she didn't know she was adopted, and accepted them as her natural parents
I must say christiansens performance was very funny. when he told her it is the happiest day of his life, i nearly said 'and do you want fries with that'. but for me that was part of the charm of the thing.

I don't think that The first two prequels were bad I liked them all but yes Number three put the rest of the Prequels to shame. Does anyone know why The call Leia Princess Leia cause Bail Organa wasn't a king so why would she be a princess. How do I find my way around this site. It's confusing.

[Alexa]

Do you mean you cannot find your way back to this site, Angel ?

[Winters_Sorrow]

I think she probably means to navigate her way round it.
I must say, I find this site quite well designed but possibly some selective weeding of old, old threads which haven't been used in a while would make it a bit easier?

C'mon mods, start earning the pay you don't receive...

[Princess Ivy]

i like the old threads, means i can pull them out and confuse the hell out of everyone when i'm bored!

[Angel_in_chains]

not funny Ivy. Ya I meant finding my way around the site it's different than other forums I belong to.

[Alia]

ask specific questions so we can help direct you... and once you can find your way around this place, Ivy's comment will be hiliarious!

I finally saw it last night, and I must say it was quite as bad as I expected. The dialogue, honestly, my friend and I were literally rolling in our seats, trying to stifle our laughter. Especially between Anakin and Padme.... there was just nothing there in any way redeeming, so that when things turned bad I didn't care what the hell happened to them. The thing that dissappointed me the most was the five minutes devoted to the eradication of the Jedi. That could have been a film unto itself, and yet it's, 'The Jedi must be killed.' 'Rightio, then.' Three or four jedi cop it, and we move on... So much that didn't make sense, and wasn't explained. So many bad effects (the lizard, my god!). Call me picky, call me petty, just don't try and tell me these are the best films that could have been delivered....

[PERCON]

If the sequence where the Jedi were being killed was extended much more people would start to think 'Yea okay we get the point now'.

I thought the film was great. If you were to sit and watch all 6 films back to back, apart from the inability to move after watching them all, you would see that they all fit perfectly. The 3rd film wasn't supposed to show an apocalyse, it was supposed to link to the older films, well the 4th 5th and 6th. I don't know whether you were expecting the greatest, goriest, imaculate film of all time but since the 6 films are aimed at kids as well as adults, the film wasn't too violent but wasn't too 'kidish', just right in my opinion.

The first sequence with the space fight was amazing! I dunno where those bad effects come into it Culhwch but the guys DESERVE an award for pulling all of that off in computer animation. Everyone always picks at the bad things and makes them seem ten times worse but to me the film was great! I can't wait for the box set of all 6!

Well, I finally watched it.

Surprising how a 2 hr + movie can feel rushed and poorly paced, but it was...
I don't really have anything positive to say about this film.
5 Lightsaber fights don't make up for a poor script, bad acting and crappy direction.
Glad my ordeal is over, I am.

So, WS, you are now joining the small legion of people who actually watched the movie and wasted thier good hard earn money on poor script writing and horrible acting...
Make ya feel any better? I can say I do... knowing I'm not the only one!
