Best of the new installments

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2005)

REVENGE OF THE SITH For the first time since "Return of The Jedi", I was unable to make the midnight session of a new Star Wars Installment. I saw it 21.5 hrs later though. Here's some thoughts on the movie:
The opening scenes of the new installments are very exciting, seeing what new star ships they've come up with. That first scene was ridiculous though. There must have been over 1000 ships in shot..... Hayden Christensen must have had a busy 3 years or all the acting classes worldwide must have been full. Same 'ol, same 'ol.....Ewan Mc Gregor was one of the central characters, had one of the major speaking roles and still probably said only 30 words in total during the movie. He never says more than one sentence. When given the chance to say a few words to Anakin at the end, they were great.....OB1 must have hit the bottle hard in the 20 or so years between when he moved to Tatooine and first saw Luke again.....Joel Edgerton. Powerful performance..... Padme had the most boring pregnancy ever. Just walking around that room with no TV, no newspapers, no books.....R2D2 sure lost his cool moves after this movie. Flying, shooting stuff, doing flips.....The scene where Yoda walks in to confront Palpatine is the 3rd funniest Star Wars moment ever. ( 1. When Han Solo tries to reassure security everything is OK when they storm the control room in "A New Hope". 2 In "A New Hope" where C3P0 tells Luke he's gonna shut down for a while)..... Samuel L Jackson should have played Anakin in this one and Hayden Christensen played Mace Windu. Who's better at playing a crazy yet controlled nut-bag? ( see Final scene of Pulp Fiction for proof. Not you kids under 18 though) ..... Jedi's way under-use their ability to make stuff break and fly at people.....If there is ever a clone army, we need to make sure it hasn't got a Kiwi accent..... The last 30 minutes of the movie are awesome. You just wanna go home and watch "A New Hope" straight away.....George Lucas is a great storyteller but a terrible writer of the actual lines.....Awesome movie, best of the new 3..... At the end outside the cinema but in the complex an alarm was going off. Made me think how funny it would be if at the start of one of those midnight sessions, with all the people dressed up and everything, you set off a fire alarm right during the opening scene. How spewing would all the fans be having to leave the cinema and wait an hour.
