Thoughts on Sith?

Thats putting it mildly. I enjoyed the action sequences, but the story felt rushed (in addition to contradicting itself), horrible horrible script, bad acting (possibly related to the script or director) but it is the best movie out of Episode 1 and 2...even though thats not saying much.

At the end there were some moments that brought the original magic of Star Wars, but I for one am glad the hype is over. Like I said in another related thread...there was no proper emotion or flavor to the story...no punch if you will. But oh well, glad the movie is finished.

The film doesn't open until july in Japan.

My expectations are low, but I do hate waiting.

Amazingly the delay in Japan is because only one company (ie monopoly) does the subtitling and they have fooled Hollywood into believing that Japanese subtitles need to be done by hand due to the complexity of the language. And the simpletons bought it!

Just go to google.co.jp and see all the sites that are in Japanese using these fancy computers, not by hand.
Thats one company that?s laughing at Hollywood (all the way to the bank)

I will wait patiently

That is did it all wrong! I'd rather see the Timmothy Zahn books on the big screen than the trip Lucas keeps rolling out.

My biggest beef? The plot holes upon plot holes upon plot holes. Did Lucas FORGET about the first 3?

My bro called me up last night when I got home from work all excited about what his neighbors (his entire street are all 30-somethings and they are all like best friends...it makes me sick..LOL) said about Episode 3. His buddy Todd who is a Star Wars geek was praising the movie up and down which got my bro so excited.

But now reading this thread, makes me go "crap am I going to waste 2 1/2 hours and $10 on a Friday night now".

ugh...

Please tell me, someone..that there is some GOOD points in the movie...even if its just 10 minutes long!

lol

Kind of disappointed in it a bit. Again another over hyped Star Wars "pre-quel". At least its over now.

I think the acting for the most part was really sad and pathetic to watch. Samuel L. Jackson was IMHO the only professional actor who actually looked like he was a professional actor. Natalie and Hayden were godawful. I felt like screaming "dude stop reading from the teleprompter".

Its strange (at least to me) how the movie is slow to tie up the "danglies" from the other movies and then all of a sudden in like a 15 or 20 min span they tie up all these loose story ends. Its as if, Lucas just said "oh yeah...quick let's explain this stuff".

Still better than ep 1 and 2 in my book, but the original three are far and away the best of the Star Wars saga.

Pluses : The saber fights were very cool, I liked the one with General Greivous (sp) a lot, that was just mean. Special f/x are nothing short of amazing (if as much effort went into refining the dialogue and the delivery, the movie would of picked up another "star" right off the bat).

At any rate: 2.5 out of 5 stars would be my rating. If you are ultra SW geek (which I'm not) you'd be more critical and probably would rate it less still.
