| IkeaBoy P.L.F. Portugese Liberation Front- Liberating Status' everywhere from the Tyranny of Portugal I will die a traitor's death | posted on 05-16-2002 @ 2:45 AM |    | |||
| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | Well there's only one phrase I can use to sum up my feelings on this film. It's poignant in today's world and it should be honored and respected. It stinks and I don't like it. Maybe I'm too cynical, maybe I can't get past my gosh darned cynicism but that's essentially it. I didn't like this film. Visually, it looked ok- too much CGI for my taste but I realized something tonight. Visuals are good but you need to use those visuals to build ATMOSPHERE!!!!! None of the worlds in the movie had any atmosphere. In the original trilogy all the planets had a definite feel, nothing in this. I didn't even care much for the Big Jedi Fight Sequence. Acting- Portman is a good actress but stuck with awful lines. Christiansen was just flat and I was unimpressed. Ewan McGregor was really the only bright spot. He was fantastic in it and if they want to go younger for Number 6 in The Prisoner film, he's it. Chris Lee was good too. Script- The lines were awful, especially the romantic parts. And the jokes failed more in this than in a Rich Vos stand up special. Somewhat disappointing, CGI /was/ good though and some of the early parts were OK. I'll need to think about it more but Spider-Man better. Jango Fett- I don't want to know what the Fetts look like. The fact Boba was constantly kept in a helmet added to his coolness  "It appears my wee wee has been strucken with rigor mortis." Ikea's pick of the day: Law and Order is a fine show.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 01 | This film will open itself up to (negative) criticism more than any other Star Wars film including Phantom Menace. AWFUL dialog and bad jokes. Special effects were top notch however but some of the scenes were extremely crowded. Too many speeders and little clones running around. So, as was stated, it was hard to get a good feeling for a particular world/planet. They seemed indistiguishable. Moreover, there were no scenes in this film that really jumped out at you or left you at the edge of your seat like in Phantom (pod racing or the final duel). But I'm a die hard fan and I'm gonna say it was overall a good flick. Not worth staying up this late, but a good flick nonetheless. I need to see it again to really get a better opinion of it. Whatever the overall public sentiment of this movie, they'll never be able to take away the first trilogy.  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | It's a discussion thread you sonofabitch, some one will eventually discuss spoilers. and you did check, i'm touched. Also, some of the fight/chase scenes were well done, I'll give it that. And I kind of liked the political intrigue. "It appears my wee wee has been strucken with rigor mortis." | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 01 | quote:Ok here we go (not neccesarily in time order): 1) Anakin wants to screw the queen and spends the whole movie pretty much trying to. If you thought Romeo and Juliet had some cheesy dialog, wait til you see this. 2) Anakin finds his mother who had been abducted by Tuskin Raiders (Sandpeople). She shortly thereafter (and rather convieniently) dies in his arms. Anakin slaughters the entire Raider camp. 3) Mace Windu chops off Boba Fett's pop's (Jenga?)head. Little Boba Fett was watching and didn't seem very happy about it. 4) The Count (the Empirer's protege and student) whoops Obi-Wan's and Anakin's asses. He cuts off Anakin's right arm above the elbow in the process. Anakin was not pleased. 5) The Count and Yoda battle. They first hurl objects at each other with the little handwaving, use-the-force thing. Then they duke it out with light sabers. Yoda's got some good moves. The fight's a draw. The Count escapes with plans for a new horrific device that is to be constructed: the Death Star. 6) The Storm Troopers are introduced. They are all clones of Jenga Fett. The Clones actually fight along side with the Jedi. 7) The Chancellor/Emperor is given complete power and control over the Senate. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Dude, Yoda fighting didn't kick some ass? I really liked this movie. It was dark like "Empire" and I think the dialogue has ALWAYS been cheesey so what is new. Great CGI and less Jar-Jar. I thought it ruled but that is just my stupid opinion.  2002 Crack Committee Objectives: 1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year 2. Hate the Braves with a passion 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 4. Mets win World Series 5. Have Red Sox finish 10 games infront of the Yankees.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I thought I wrote that in my commentary that Yoda fighting kicked uber-ass. When he and Count Dooku was all High Noon/Good Bad and the ugly and shit- that was sweet. And I did like when Jar Jar's saying his speech and Amadala said "don't you have things to do...now, immediately, go, now, GO." In addition: just a weird question- did anyone think ANakin was going to rape her? "It appears my wee wee has been strucken with rigor mortis." | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | My take is this.The first hour realy draged.I was afraid we were going the disapointing Episode 1 route.That lovey dovey shit was starting to piss me off.Then some how George pulled out the Star Wars Magic we all came to love out of his ass for the last Hour.Fucking Yoda was great at the end!I'M even considering geting A Yoda tattoo .So all in all I LOVED the movie.I even bought tickets for Saturday night cause I didn't soak it all in. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 01 | i thought it was fucking awesome. some cheezy lines, but overall it was awesome. portman was AMAZING, but it was yoda who truly made my balls quiver with his saber skills.   "Because we don't know when we will die, We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? An afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." -Brandon Lee | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | Natalie Portman is hot. I would have pumped her back when she was in The Professional. I think she was like twelve or thirteen then. Pre-teen ass. :) Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Edit: I'm not 18 yet, so I don't feel guilty about saying this. Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste. All right, children.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Jar Jar didn't CAST the deciding vote, he's the one who PROPOSED the vote.. because of Jar Jar the Empire is born. That's right, Lucas said "Fuck you" to EVERY one of us who bitched about Jar jar, and had Jar Jar MAKE THE EMPIRE!!! Happy now alkey? how's that for spoiler??  No! I am NOT a Goth Dude!!

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: May. 00 | In my opinion, it was a large step-up from episode 1. Like most people, my major problem was the first hour or so. It just seemed too choppy for my taste. One second anakin and padme are here, 5 secs later, they're somewhere else. One second they are not acting close, the next second they are rolling around in the grass. It was just too random for me. But with the discovery of the clone army by Obi-won, the movie totally turned around. The action scenes were very well done. The scene where anakin's mother died made me wanna kill all the sand people too. And the execution scene started what could be the best 30 minute action scene since saving private ryan's beach scene. There was no let up in the action after that point. The yoda/dookoo fight was very well done too. I loved the way yoda came in needing the cane to walk, jumped all over the place during the duel, and then went back to limping with the cane afterwards. And it even ended "happier" than I anticipated. I expected a downer of an ending given it was the second in the series, ala' empire, but it didn't. I did love the empire's music playing while the republic's clone army was aligning too. Very foreshadowing. All in all, I liked it alot. Actually a hell of a lot more than I thought I was going too.  I'm only laughing on the outside My smile is just skin deep If you could see inside I'm really crying You might join me for a weep. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Mar. 01 | The love story had to be in there, but god, Lucas did an awful job of trying to make that work. Most of the jokes were cheesy, but they like that in all the films. It dragged for a while, but it didn't make me yawn or look at my watch. I agree with Faceman, once Obi-Wan got to that Ocean Planet, it was like a different movie. Seeing Slave I in full action was awesome, the Execution sequence was pretty sweet (anyone feel like Samuel L. was gonna break out into Ezekiel 24:17 when he had the 'sabre to Dooku's throat?) The massive Jedi assault was great, the troopers kicked ass, and mother fucking Yoda. The ending was cool, i like the Imperial March in the backround while the troops were preparing for dispatch. Portman: Hot, Sexy, Did great with a bad script Christiansen: Did poorly, and the script didn't help McGregor: Too fucking good. All in all, kicks the shit out of Episode I. and i wouldn't mind seeing it again.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | I liked the movie, but most suprising was McGregor....I wondered how they would turn the rather out of control young man from Episode 2 into a wiser, older Jedi who eventually becomes the famous Obi Wan from Episode 4...IMHO, they nailed it....A nice mix of the youth and foolishness from Episode 1(diving out of the window to catch the droid) and yet calmer and more serious.... Trust Me! | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02 | Can anybody answer me this? When Anakin goes on his rant with Padme on how Jedi's can't have possessions but should love or something like that, what does this mean about marriage? I couldn't figure out whether or not it is frowned upon. Now I'll retire to the Nerdory with my fellow nerds now. Monkeys on Mars, coming to a screen near you | ||||

If we hadn't seen ep 4-6, it would seem like a really good ending. The Republic is about to wipe out its enemies. But since we already know what's gonna happen, it's just plain sad. | ||||
