Neither of those things are classified as rock though...

I'd take any kind of rock music over the garbage rap they are pumping through the radio these days.


And cloud thanks for the wookiepedia find, I didn't see that til I just did a quick reread.

You're welcome. I got into reading a bunch of stuff on that site not too long ago after rewatching the original trilogy again.

JDKNITE, I'm mostly talking about the emo and death metal stuff (I think "Distubed" falls under this category?). Yet, somehow I don't mind most of the rock music I hear from the Grand Theft Auto games (although I didn't like that one heavy metal station in IV).




I have nothing against people liking it as long as they blare it so loud that it creates vibrations on the ground or something along those lines. Most people probably don't share my preference of only listening to games and film soundtracks along with some classical. The only other person I recall sharing my preference is Eva Green who mentioned that she enjoys listening to film soundtracks and classical music, while preparing for her roles.

-drool-

Well I saw it last night at the midnight showing.

I thought it was really good. Overall it was just an enjoyable movie. Some cheesy scenes, but it is what it is.

But it probably wouldn't be viewed highly here, judging by the responses. Some of you take this Star Wars thing too seriously

QFE to that, I liked it alot.

But the bulk here will be expecting The Dark Knight with lightsabers.

This movie has a character named General Loathsom. General Loathsom[/u]. That's enough proof that it utterly fails as a serious movie. Let me just say it one more time to further illustrate the point: GENERAL LOAT...sorry, I can't even say it anymore, it's just that ridiculous.

LOL there are worse names than that. If thats your reason for hating a film get a life rofl.

now that some people have seen it and i can talk about stuff

obiwan and tea time?!

Yeah that was a bit odd.

No there aren't. Are you some kind of General Loathsom apologist?

I have name ideas for the next Star Wars movie: General Degenerate and his not-as-vile henchman, Sergeant Misdemeanor. I should suggest these to Lucas, he would pay me millions for the right to incorporate these inventive character names into his stories.

You're trying too hard Krokodile

I dunno. I kinda like the name "Sergeant Misdemeanor."

Bringing a new age of disorderly conduct to the galaxy...

I liked it a lot. It's basically more action than plot. The cheesy comic relief was actually not that annoying, even laughed on occasion. People should give it a chance. The animation is pretty awesome. The people look unrealistic, of course, but the background scenery is breathtaking at times. Definitely worth seeing it on a big screen.

Is it really that kiddie as some reviewers say?



I bet Bruce Wayne could construct a lightsaber if he were to go up against a Sith. This is providing he has time to plan of course.

Yeah, like Grievous.

I'm sure he thinks Skywalker is a brilliant name too

Skywalker worked because it was from the 1970s.

If this movie was remotely as dark as Dark Knight was, that would be so awesome.

I saw it last night too at the late show with only about 19 other people in the theater. Not much of a crowd at all.

I thought the musical score was great. It's different from the usual John Williams fare, and I especially liked the music around the monastery place. I'll probably buy the soundtrack (if there is one).

I don't mind the stylized look either. If they tried to make it realistic, we'd all pick it apart anyway on how UN-realistic it was, so I think it was a smart move. The only one I thought looked overly-weird in the stylize form was Palpatine.

The Obi-wan tea time... I thought that was funny. And it wasn't tea time, he was negotiating a surrender, but really stalling while Anakin shut down the shield generator... .

Ahsoka... she's not quite as annoying as Mission on KOTOR, but she reminded me of her. Ahsoka is smart and a good fighter ( she took out 3 of those Grievous guard-droids by herself ). But she is supposed to be young. Young enough that when she's introduced, everyone calls her youngling. And she acts it occasionally.

Jabba's son... not what I was expecting. Small and is apparently comedy-relief. While I'm thinking about Hutt's, though, IMO, the worst thing in the movie was Jabba's uncle (or nephew... didn't quite catch that part). The voice acting made me cringe everytime he said something. He looked cool, but his voice... ugh!

I didn't like the introduction voice-over either. It sounded like a newscast, which I think was the goal, but just sounded kinda weird. I didn't mind not having the scrolling yellow text, but the guy's voice was kinda off. If they took that sequence and made it look like some sort of holo-newscast, that would have been better.

Overall, it's not Empire, but it wasn't TPM either. It was pretty much in the middle. There were some times when I wondered what the animators were thinking, but they were few. I was under the impression that the battle droids were going to be overthetop silly, but I laughed at most of their shtick.

Would I see it again? Probably not in theaters, but I'll definitely buy the DVD when it becomes available.

[Edit: Oh yeah, I thought the commander for the republic looked like John Cleese.]

I just saw it tonight, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

If you are looking for a traditional Star Wars movie, you aren't looking in the right place.

I rather like the new direction they have taken in this movie and now the series.

Jabba's drag queen Uncle freaked me right the **** out.

me too, other people on the other hand...

it's bombing at the box office because people are expecting the epic star wars movie and they're getting a kid's tv show thats been stretched into a movie

so the epic movie nerds hate it, while the cartoon lovers, note anime is a genre beyond cartoon in this definition, the cartoon lovers are getting lots of stupid comedy and obvious lessons you get from Saturday morning

One little thing I liked was that the clone troopers had different haircuts to differentiate themselves from others.

Previously, that had only been a detail in the books.
