Star Wars Episode 3 - what did you think of it ?

Hi All,

Ive been to see Revenge of the Sith tonight.. anyone else seen it yet? i was just wondering, 'cause although it is a good film & i enjoyed it, i feel a bit down knowing its the last Star Wars film & ive got no more to look forward to...

 

I have not seen it but if it is anything like the last one I don't think that I will see it.

 

Report back with review BigPantz, I plan on seeing it in another week. Early reviews I read said it was much better than the first two, only Rolling Stone gave it two stars, because of script, but all stated effects were great and it was non-stop action.

 

Pretty good except for all those numbers at the top of the screen
gets kind of distracting.

 

i think i would give the film 9/10 overall rating. its not the best Star Wars film ever, obviously the best were A New Hope/Empire Strikes Back in joint 1st place.. but it kicks ass over the other two prequels.

i dont want to give too much away for the people who aint seen it yet, but dont expect anything resembling a happy ending, nearly everyone dies..

it was quite surreal watching it, right from the start, i had this feeling of ever-impending doom just around the corner all the way through. it didnt feel like a sci-fi film, it was like watching a good thriller..

Ps, its been given a 12A rating here in the UK, i think thats about right. i took my 3 kids to see it & my youngest (age 10) said it was quite scary for her, especially when anakin recieves the injuries that force him to be encased in Vaders' famous armour..

Other than that, top film!

 

Thanx for the review BigPantz, can't wait to see it.

 

Creaky you are going to have to see the movie twice just to get yourself calmed down.

 

I have a Masters Degree in Social Services, and I give you my approval. My daughter is taking my 6 year old grandson and she is very strict on what she allows her boys to see.

Are you saying that you saw the crappy pirate dvd instead of going to the theatre?

 

I had never seen any star war movies in my life. But I am REALLY into the violence!

 

I agree, it could of been longer with more detail, but it was a very good movie and worthy of the Star Wars name.

I dont see why people love A New Hope so much. dont get me wrong, it is an excellent movie and very revolutionary for its time, but in the grand scheme of the star wars world, Empire blows A New Hope away.

This movie had everything you want from a star wars movies, tons of light saber fighting, space battles, Jedi Genocide, bad ass Yoda, and best of all, a silent Jar Jar Binks!

I must say the book was better than the movie though (aint that true with all books!). It had more dialog, detail, more explantion, and a more bad ass General Grevious.


IF I had to rank all the Star Wars Films I would Rank them Like So:

1. Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back
2. Episode III- Revenge of the Sith (A Very Close Second)
3. Episode IV- A New Hope
4. Episode VI- Return of the Jedi
5. Episode II- Attack of the Clones
6. Star Wars- The Clone Wars (Animated)
7. Ewoks- The Battle for Endor
8. Episode I- The Phantom Menace
9. The Star Wars Holiday Special (YES, its worse than Episode I

 

What are the first 2 star wars movie called? (not 4, 5, and 6)!!!

 

Isn't it kinda stupid to classify each movie. One being better than the other. In essence its just one big movie. Its stupid to compare a Star WArs movie to another Star Wars movie.

 

The reason I dont think A New Hope is nearly as good as Empire or Sith is because, in terms of the Star Wars Saga, what really happens? Yeah Vader Kills Obi-Won, but it was a self sacrifce for the overall good of the force and it wasnt as emotional as Anakin turning into vader or Vader reveiling to luke that he is his father. And oh yeah the death star is destroyed, but a new one shows up in empire anyway. Dont get me wrong, I LOVED the film, but it was just a set-up for the next one.

I know everyone are down on TPM and AOTCs, but they are just set-up films in the series. That is way lucas started off with A New Hope because the series would never of made it if they started with episode I.
