For those who've seen Episode II, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on it. I'm going to see it tonight and am pretty excited; I have also done my best to avoid any spoilers related to the movie, so if you could try and keep them to a minimum I'd really appreciate it. Thnks |

But besides that.. Official reviews in general rated it as really good or really Average. I found it somewhere in the middle but leaning definitely towards the good. Even if there are some dry bits that were compulsory, they didn't obviously have to feel this way but they did of whatever reason, there were many redeeming factors yeah.. so..see it. You'll regret not seeing it on a big screen. |

well, i have to say i wasn't expecting much, although i've been frequenting the star wars geek sites like theforce.net for a few months and i basically knew everything that was going to happen in the movie... and it STILL managed to be excellent. don't listen to all the complaints about the dialogue... ALL the original star wars movies had the same grandiose speech styles... it's part of the flash gordon thing that's been there since the start. my personal favourite elements of the movie that are very underrated in other peoples' reviews: 1. the romance - it wasn't nearly as phoney as certain people have been trying to make out. 2. coruscant - i could watch that over and over again. i was expecting some sort of dull blade-runner rip-off, but it was much nicer and more interesting to watch than i expected. 3. the pace - certain scenes are paced slowly, not too busy or fast, which is great because i felt that too many bits of the phantom menace were rushed/muddled/confusing. this time they've let things linger a bit longer, thus recapturing some of the grace of 'a new hope' and 'empire strikes back'. i could go on for a while listing why it's better than The Phantom Menace, but i'll finish by saying this: it's definitely a Star Wars movie in the classic sense. and it strangely makes the Phantom menace into a better film, retrospectively... |

I just saw it last night. I thought that Lucas has definately mastered the art of the sprawling and detailed shots. The last 45 minutes were incredible, and I will buy the movie solely for the fact that Yoda is the baddest motherfucker I've ever seen wield a lightsaber |

I can't see CGI getting much more lush than this; it's reached that seamless stage where you don't even consider it anymore... & so smooth watching the overall story forming...things like Amadea looking so much like Leia, the ships at the end looking so much like the ones in the original trilogy, Lukes "Uncle" on Tattoine etc.... I didn't even spend half my time waiting for it to finish so I could grab a smoke; the reason I seldom go to the Cinema anymore... got back from the cinema about 10mins ago and I just know my dreams are gonna be in LucasOVision tonight.... |
