[<A>Fragaholic]

Well expectations... hopes... dreams...

Whatchu all goto say about it?

[Cataphract]

Two words: "Il Grande".

That's the place to see it (at Monte Casino).

[[N]Haja]

Well, as a devout star wars fan, I must say the last 2 have not been all that. Perhaps its just because the first SW were ahead of their time, and the latter ones have such a huge reputation to live up to. But I found the last ones with all the lovy dovy shit a bit too much, so lets hope tis last one has more fighting and plot to it. lose the women, lets see Yoda and Darth Vader go for it (fighting each other that is!)

[Zyron]

Watched it already :p

[JKR]

Yeah I could have downloaded

[[B.Inc]=_sNaKe_=]

So do PCs, Star Wars and peanut M&M's go together and complete the all round nerd, made from lesser nerds? Its just that I saw this vid where this dog puppet makes gat of these fat bald ballies & dorky kids dressed up in Jedi outfits an Storm Trooper armour ahead of the premier of Episode II.It was kak funny & I just hope to GOD that the folks here dont engage in that. And playing "Risk". :D

[sneaky]

I heard one of the Star Wars games actually bridges the gap between the second and third film. Anyone know which one?

[GunJitsu]

Il grande Friday 8:30PM, Hellboy, Kendr and myself will be there to.

[Lord_Xan]

I heard one of the Star Wars games actually bridges the gap between the second and third film.

Not a game, but an animated series called "Clone Wars". First season is out on DVD and apparently it's not bad at all.

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

Can't wait for the TV series :) .

See you guys at Monte :D . I believe the first 100 there get a poster? :)

[Scrye]

I am there also... Friday 8:30pm. See you there?

republic commando starts at the end of 2 and ends at the somewhere in 3...not really focusing on the movie side though (since you play commandos, and the movie will focus on other things)

Thursday 8:30pm

Right hand side as you walk through the doors - can not wait

[Elco]

I just hope it will be better than the last one, which was, in my opinoin, utter crap.

I doubt it will be any better than Episode I, which was not too great either.

[[N]Haja]

100% Elco, I think if the EP1 & 2 did not have the legacy of the previous 3 films, they would not even have done half as well as they did at the box office. They just went too Hollywood on them, lost the plot, and pumped the budget into the special effects and shit.

[sneaky]

EP1 sucked ass but 2 was awsome seeing yoda wielding his uber light saber was teh sh1t.

[Zyron]

seeing yoda wielding his uber light saber was teh sh1t

A furious light sabre duel is under way. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER toward the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down.

Darth Vader: "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father."

Luke: "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"

Darth Vader: "No! I am your father!"

Luke: "No, it's not true! It's impossible."

Darth Vader: "Search your feelings; you know it to be true."

Luke: "NO!"

Darth Vader: "Yes, it is true and you know what else? You know that brass droid of yours?"

Luke: "Threepio?"

Darth Vader: "Yes, Threepio, I built him when I was seven years old."

Luke: "No."

Darth Vader: "Seven years old? And what have you done? Look at yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate your own ship out of the swamp."

Luke: "I destroyed your precious Death Star!"

Darth Vader: "When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!"

Luke: "Well, it's not my fault."

Darth Vader: "Oh, here we go. 'Poor me, my father never gave me what I wanted for my birthday, boo hoo, my daddy's the Dark Lord of the Sith .... waahhh wahhh!'"

Luke: "Shut up."

Darth Vader: "You're a slacker! By the time I was you're age, I had exterminated the Jedi knights!"

Luke: "I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon!"

Darth Vader: "Oh, for the love of the Emperor, 10 years old, winner of the Boonta Eve Open. Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer, right here baby! Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step toward it.

Darth Vader: "I was wrong. You're not my kid. I don't know whose you are, but you sure ain't mine."

Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft. Darth Vader looks after him.

Darth Vader: "And get a haircut!"

no thanks to you :(

*thinks of litigation*

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

bwahahahaha

[Gamos]

Ok, to get back on topic, the movie was amazing! I left the cinema with the same joy, sadness, hate and content I did after seeing Return of the King.

Grand filmaking leaving a 30 year legacy few will forget.

9.5/10

[[N]Haja]

the other 0.5 missing cos there was no punani shots? :)

[Gamos]

Did you see it?

[Peon]

OMW!!


The opening fight scene above the planet. OMW. The graphics were the best of all the starwars movies i reckon. Excellent movie.

[sAm]

It was...enjoyable

Nowhere as good as the original trilogy, tho definately the best from the current episodes. CGI was brilliant but it doesnt make a film. Letdowns - Acting in some places was sub par...or maybe its just the script. Best parts i think are duels between Vader n ObiWan, Opening Scene, Grevious vs ObiWan

This and Hero are probably the best movies ive seen this year.
8.74998/10 :D

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions of epic proportions. Definitely an Epic! Was the best movie of the year so far and the best 'Star Wars' movie in my opinion. Now only if Lucas made Episode VII, VIII, IX.

10/10

[EvilCow]

Good movie, but I dunno hey...

I think after seeing 1412123312 lightsabre battles (Jedi Knight 2, KOTOR, etc..), it gets kinda old....

6/10 (for the leet CGI)

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

*Good parody camel, that is. Much thanks, I give*

[|sAvAgE|]

i for one (judging by the UZA response) was dissappointed with this movie. instead of saying why, i found a perfect summary of why it sucked @ take2. no, the poster is not me, but we do seem to feel the same way about it :)

http://www.take2.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54359&highlight=#54359

[hai2u]

The movie sucked. The acting was terrible, and every point in the story could be guessed from the sequel which was already made before it.

I'd probably have enjoyed House of Wax more.

[JKR]

It sucked so much I didn't even bother going to watch it..

[EvilCow]

...the CGI was good though.

but i guess thats about it

[Cataphract]

That the acting was dodgy is no maybe.

There was still lots of cool stuff to see though, for example, General Grievous, the Salamander Obi-Wan rode on, and how George Lucas was forced to put Darth Vader in his original suit which was so obviously and terribly dated as to make him look desperately out of kilter.

The thing has these big old fashioned switches and lights and stuff on the front that makes him look like a cross between a juke-box, a gumball dispenser and an Armenian Autobank.

Still rated it high on pure entertainment value.

P.S. I can't wait for War of the Worlds.

[|sAvAgE|]

P.S. I can't wait for War of the Worlds.
awesome trailer, enjoyed it more than star wars :)

[JKR]

unrealted, but has anyone watched Sin City yet?

[EvilCow]

nope.

looks pretty good though.

War of the worlds might actually be pretty cool

[Shrimp]

But you said it's based in America? Doesn't that strike anyone as lame?

[EvilCow]

I said what?

you mean War of the worlds? well seeing as everything seems to happen in america (whenever a world disaster happens, they seem to save they day all on their own), we might aswell get used to it I guess..

damn americans :(

[Shrimp]

Not "you", the other bunch before :P.

[EvilCow]

oh...

*steps back into his corner*

[Plato]

The original War of the worlds was broadcast over the radio and the poeple of New York really thought that Mars was invading.... LOL . There were phonecalls to the police and mass panic ensued..... The radio had to deliver a public apology the next day!

I think its really digging for things when you have to look at the special effects to say a movie was good or entertaining - at least the Matrix had a better story - and much better effects.

The fight scenes were lame, I dont think the light sabres have looked any more cheesy. And the whole flipping over to the back of the person must have been done about 5000 times with no variation of the move.

It was a great comedy though, I laughed my ass off at all the lame sad scenes

"NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!@#!@#"

ROFL

[enemyanemone]

stop pointing fingers at the USA look at SA ffs lol(?)...

[D>Fantom]

Star Wars EP3 - 6/10

Camera work was not great, but acceptable. One or two great shots but otherwise nothing special.
Writing was usual Lucas, great at the action and overall story but crap in heavy emotional dialog. The ending was a little rushed though, but since most people have seen the original triology then it already makes sense. Character development of anyone other than Palatine, ObiWan, Skywalker and Padme was left lacking. There were many chances to really flesh out some characters who had amazing potentional, like General Grieves, and scenes, like the attack on the wookie home world, which were just left lying on the floor.
Acting from McGregor and McDiarmed was excellant, although I felt McDiarmed's makeup after his lightning battle with Samuel L Jackson ruined his expressions from then. Christiansen has grown amazingly as an actor since EP2 but still battles with emotions like sadness and conflict, which is the main driving forces of his character. Overall both EP2 and EP3 would have been better if another actor with more experience had done that role. Portman clearly did not connect with Christiansen so the romance between them was very pushed.
On the technical side, lighting was 99% perfect. CGI was the amazing ILM work that blows me away each time. The music was great. Loved the combinations between the traditional star wars themes and the prequel themes. Sound effects and foley work was also spot on for perfect star wars.
Compared to the other Star Wars movies the traditional trilogy is still miles better, but this is easily the best of the prequel trilogy.
Biggest regret/disappointment of the movie was R2D2 and his flying and catching things and so on. Somehow I feel it should not have been done in this movie or even EP2 for that matter since in the original trilogy he can not do any of this.

[GunJitsu]

I loved Starwars episode 3, the opening scene had so much action I had no idea where to look. One argument I am having with some okes is that I say Master Windu didn't come close to killing the emperor; the emperor faked it to get Anakin to fully turn against the Jedi.

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

Yup, that is true GunJitsu.

[crash]

True Gunjitsu, that is. :)

[Manta]

Personally, SW3 was the best movie I ever seen.

[Nautilian]

10/10 IMHO, I am a starwars fanatic!

I do have one question to ask all you starwars fans. I remember in episode 6, Luke asks princes laya (spelling), what she remembers of her mother, and she turns around and says that she was always sad. However their mother dies before ever seeing them, so am I missing something here?

Another thing I would like to point out. Did you notice that as the movie progressed, all the "electronics" and "technology" started to get more degraded and old starwars looking. I think it was an amazing look to actually get the old starwars feel at the end, especially when Vader has his ancient suit on :P

Naut

[]H[ellboy]

yeah you got it spot on Naut!

For me what stands out is how kick ass Obiwan is!

Now I know when Ben Kenobi and Vader meet up in Episode IV why he said "I've been waiting for this for a long time Obiwan"

[sAm]

Yep was wondering the same thing nut

would never reallly make sense if she was talking about her adoptive mother.

[D>Fantom]

laya (spelling)
Leia

However their mother dies before ever seeing them, so am I missing something here?
Off hand I don't remember it but she might have been refering to her foster parents

[]H[ellboy]

Leia


Off hand I don't remember it but she might have been refering to her foster parents

Nah I doubt that remember they where blown up with the deathstar.....

[Nautilian]

Another thing I would like to point out. The prophecy is true that Anakin would bring balance to the force AND NOT LUKE!. Luke just brings the "Force" of good over the dark side within his father, so one may call it a conflict within a conflict, as if you remember correctly Anakin is the one who in the end kills the Emperor, IRONY screams out there.

Just shows what the female VAGINA will do to a person! FFS, WOMAN must just DIE!!!!!! :D :D :D

Naut

[hai2u]

Personally, SW3 was the best movie I ever seen.

Well personaly, I'd have to say your taste in movies must be very poor.

Have you watched Match Stick Men, or The Devils Advocate, or any *really* good movie for that matter.

[JKR]

The Devil's Advocate was really excellent. Must watch it again, there are actually loads of movies I need to re-watch.. so far 2000-2005 has been pretty dissapointing movie wise..

The Shawshank Redemption
Se7en
The Game
American Beauty
Pulp Fiction
Saving Private Ryan
Magnolia
American history x
Mission: Impossible (1, fuck 2)
Natural Born Killers
The Sixth Sense
Resovoir dogs

That's all I can think of now..

[JKR]

There are way better one's than in that list, I need coffee to remember them though..

[<A>FluX.v2.0]

"fear and loathing in las vegas" comes to mind.

[Jingo]

Grievious was the best part of Episode 3, but as usual, Lucas ends up killing all of his cool characters. The movie was darker than the rest, which was good. Didn't like the patchwork directing in the first half though. You could feel them trying to tie the story together with Xtreme force.
Suprisingly, Obiwan was my favourite character by the end of the Three; mostly due to him being the only constant personality throughout all the movies. I felt as much for the rest of the cast as I did for Trinity when she was impaled in the final Matrix.
All in all, it's still the best Space Opera there is, lack of competition withstanding.
Maybe it's time someone else took a crack at the genre?

[Max²]

The french dude in the matrix still has my vote....the "ghostish guys" didnt quite do it for me as much as the key-master with his simplicity yet mysterious quality.

*Hey Jingo ~*

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

Quite an interesting question. I think that because Princess Leia is able to use the Force she is able to remember such things while she was still an embryo. The bond between a mother and child (even more so with the daughter as is the case here) may allow her to remember such things of her mother.

[hai2u]

how about not ruining the story for everyone who hasnt seen it yet?

[Peon]

I think the sw genre of movies are the best ever made. LOTR is okayish, Parry Hotter is wolly wanka stuff.

G. Lucas isint perfect but for someone to try and improve his work i think is a tall ask. Must agree right at the end of the sw ep3 when you see that other thing(not spoil it) you get the proper connection between the old and new sw movies.

I still reckon it was awesome movie.

[Jingo]

The movies were definitely good, it's just that people had really high expectations.
I'd like to see more Star Wars being directed without the worry of character history and plot filling. Maybe more focus on the Bounty Hunters and Troops instead of those pansy Jedi. :p

I've heard lots of rumours about series and other movies lined up. There could be some entertaining possiblities ahead.

[D>Fantom]

Another thing I would like to point out. The prophecy is true that Anakin would bring balance to the force AND NOT LUKE!. Luke just brings the "Force" of good over the dark side within his father, so one may call it a conflict within a conflict, as if you remember correctly Anakin is the one who in the end kills the Emperor, IRONY screams out there.

As Yoda says in EP3, it could be that the prophecy was misread.
In any respect the prophecy was that Anakin would end the sith, which he did, and that action would balance the force.

[Jingo]

Wasn't the prophecy:
'The one who would bring balance to the force'?
If so, then Anakin did just that by destroying the Jedi.
Balance can only be achieved when opposites rest equally. The Jedi far outweighed the Sith. They certainly don't after Episode 3.

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

how about not ruining the story for everyone who hasnt seen it yet?

*Shut the f*ck up, you must. Shit stir elsewhere, you must go*

Seriously, stop pretending to be the Patriarch of society. It hardly suits you. I'm sure most people have seen Epsisode 6 and that is where it happens.

[hai2u]

Wow, you're really fitting in with your new clan.

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

Spoken from the horse's mouth. This has nothing to do with Clan Neutron. Stop looking for lame excuses, you know it to be true.

[sneaky]

Star Wars > All, its the only movie I can watch over and over and never get tired of any of them.

Fear and loathing is teh funny sh1t btw have to agree there :D

[[B.Inc]=_sNaKe_=]

I think that Star Wars / Star Trek is the gayest thing to be created. Long live the "Fight Club-Identity-Usual Suspects" genre of movies. PS LOTR was wa-a-a-a-ay better (cos they had orcs)

[Cataphract]

LOTR was wa-a-a-a-ay better (cos they had orcs)

So does our parliament, but you don't see anyone making a movie of it, do you?

[[B.Inc]=_sNaKe_=]

Bwhahahahahaha!!!!!!! ok ok, it reminded me of WarCraft, what with walking trees, orcs and a mysterious elven race that just-so-happen to live in a forest :P

Why on earth did you even say that? My Personal taste, not yours. Keep your comments to yourself please.

[Wh1tE_Tr4sH]

To each his own... To each his own..!!!
If you can't even enjoy a classic story, don't tell someone else to enjoy what crap you do...!! Plz, Devils advocate............... ROFLROFLROFL...!!!!!!!!
I feel asleap through that movie like 7 times...!!!

Good movies:
LOTR(trilogy)
Starwars(The 6 of em)
Star Trek(I think there's 6 of em, the movies)
Old School
The Ring(Not no.2)
Constantine
The Incredibles
AvsP
The Butterfly Effect
& ofcourse SpongeBob Squarepants(The movie & TV series)

Think of some more when i'm not so tired..!!!

P.S. This is my opinion & no one elses... Flame away, just don't expect a reply!!!

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

'The Butterfly Effect' must have been one of the best movies I've ever seen. So intriguing and full of possibility.

[Cataphract]

Spongebob Schwammkopf über Alles! :D

As regards SW3, I was impressed with Obiwan's sk33333ls. I reckoned him for a gonner quite a few times.

The french dude in the matrix still has my vote

The Merowinger? He held cool parties, but he looked a bit camp.

[sneaky]

Screw the partys he had the UBER 1337 recipe's :D

[[B.Inc]=_sNaKe_=]

'The Butterfly Effect' must have been one of the best movies I've ever seen. So intriguing and full of possibility.

Brilliant flick, didn't know that feller could act his way through a serious movie!

[Manta]

Man, I just watched episode 3 on big screen then episode 4,5 and 6, to my amazement, the changed the last act where Yoda, Obi Wan and Anikin stands in their “invulnerable” form staring at luke.



Well, they edited Anakin’s characters to make him look like the character in episode 3. Which just brought back the Whole Star wars feel.



I love the “FEEL”.



I love Star Wars .

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

Ye, you find that in the digitally remastered DVD. Did you also notice the new scences with the Naboo and a few other races from Episode I, II and III?

[Manta]

yeah. saw that. good job on it aswell. it doesnt realy look out dated from episode 1,2 and 3.

[-=BeLgaRiOn=-]

Hehehe, still a superb classic and ahead of its time back then :P .

[The_Basilisk]

Episode 3: A beautiful film, but utterly stupid.

Episodes 1 and 2: Much the same.

Episodes 4, 5 and 6: Cool for one of two reasons: 1) You were 12 when you saw them. 2) They were novelties.

[Scrye]

SW3 was shit. The only two people that could act properly were Yoda and Obi Wan.
It was a great comedy though.

You wanna see a good movie on circuit now? Go see Wicker Park, brilliant movie.
