I love it when a plan comes together.

Just saw ATOC at Disney Downtown at the weekend. We saw it on DLP, instead of 35mm. Looked and sounded great. The movie was a heck of a lot better than TPM.
The main plot is good, ... after all its like real history to some people, but the love story lacks everything. The acting made me feel, that we all should apply for lead roles in the final movie cause George Lucas doesn't know good acting if it slapped him in the face, fortunately though he does know about a good story and special effects.
I can't wait for the final movie, but I still feel that Lord of the Rings has the edge, more film magic and wonder.
C Lee is good as always, Ewan M takes us through the story and keeps us awake while Anny (still a brat, just taller) and Amidala (who falls in love the instant she thinks she might possibly die, now that's romance!) play doctors and nurses like two elementary school kids.
How Boba Fett came into being though is very cool. Samuel L J ..... is Samuel L J ... one CMF
Senator Palpatines master plan though is everything to this movie, .... I love it when a plan comes together.
R2D2 and C3PO provide humour like Jar Jar never could. And Joda, well I've not laughed so hard in quite a while, its pure genius, like Kermit on Ecstasy.
From the moment it feels we've just entered a scene from Gladiator this movie just keeps getting better. Unfortunately of course that's over half way in, but worth the wait nonetheless.
Hope you all enjoy it too.
