Stop me before I pay Lucas $8!
Yeah, I really liked the film as well. I freely admit that my being a Star Wars fan influenced my enjoyment of the film. But, bad acting and odd dialogue aside, the whole film was fun to watch. The CGI and fight scenes really made this film. Maybe Episode I would have been spat on less if it had some more action scenes.
Oh, and one word: Yoda. If nothing else was amazing in the film, he was. When I first heard about him fighting, I kind of thought “Hmm, not very in character, is it?” The whole “It is not war that makes one great” philosophy he’s put across before seemed to contradict him picking up a light saber. But they did it so well! The whole cinema gasped and an aura of tingling amazement filled the room. No criticisms can take away the impact of moments like that.
And on that topic, anyone see the new, shorter trailer on (at least British) T.V? They have about two shots from the fight. Maybe, due to word of mouth, it isn’t a complete suprise by now but I do think it could spoil the effect for people who have yet to see the movie. Just a wee winge, though.

So, I thought it was great. Just don’t start an arguement because I said so. [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]
p.s: Jar Jar Binks? I reckon they could have made him cool. Remember, he was made a General at the end of Episode II. Deepen his voice, give him some stubble, put him on a ten year combat training course… he would end up being a bad-ass Gungan warrior! They could even give him a fight scene! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] That would be my ideal picture of him. But that’s just what I hoped for in Episode II…
