"Not if anything to say about it, I have."

I've just come back from seeing Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith on the biggest screen my puny country has to offer. Some things that I noticed:
  • It's odd to see Samuel L. Jackson in these types of film - I kept expecting him to say something like "Punk-ass bitch" or "Motherfucker" or something.
  • R2-D2 is the funniest fucking robot I've seen in ages.
  • Two people have redeemed themselves. Hayden Christensen, for doing an excellent job as Anakin/Vader; and George Lucas himself, for tying up all the loose ends and creating one of the most spectacular films in ages in the process.
Cheers

Very good movie, but I wouldn't go so far to say it was one of the most spectacular.... lots of bad scenes.

And Sam jackson just doesn't fit in as a jedi. His battle scene was slow and he needed vince vega, a big afro and a bad motherfucker wallet to make him cooler.

I've never seen a star wars movie and probably never will, but at least it was worth your money.

It was tops!
There was so much going on, I didn't even notice the crap acting this time.
And that's gotta be a good thing.

So, when will we expect your topsie review, M?

Tim - I agree that there was quite a bit of bad acting, but what did you expect - it's Star Wars. And I didn't say it was the most spectacular, I said it was the most spectacular in a long time!

Brynn - It is a bit of a man's movie, yes. That said, my girlfriend really enjoyed it. Though, she hadn't seen a single Star Wars film before last monday, either.

Pep - Soon, mate. :)

Cheers

I saw Attack of the Clones and laughed my ass off. That Jar Jar is one of my favourite comedians.

Sci-fi just isn't my thing, man's movie or no. It's cheesy and uninteresting to me. Personal preference

Yeah, I know. But since Lies told me today those movies wouldn't be my thing, I'm actually considering watching them all, just to show her. ;)
