Star Wars, Episode 3, Revenge of The Sith
Well, I saw it tonight, and I have a few gripes even though my overall opinion is that it was a great movie, a good end to the series, but as many agree, undeniably different from the other 5.
1. R2-D2 really got his groove on this movie, he gets about 3 or 4 laughs by himself and 0 with C-3P0, this is a change (a welcome change to many) but left 3P0 pretty much useless (except for "I feel so helpless...")
2. No Jar Jar! Saweet! but I did enjoy how during a really tense scene they'd throw a really freakin strange alien in the background (double chinned blue dude, huge green nose guy).
3. Wipes. If you're not familiar with the film terminology, it's those corny cuts from scene to scene that occured in the first 3 movies because they didn't have better technology. I see this as sort of a throwback to the original series, but it really takes something away from the overall mood with it's downright hokiness.
4. "Anakin, you're killing me." 'Nuff said perhaps, Natalie's performance is lacking, maybe due to writer's block, none the less it was missing.
5. Palpatine was awesome, in the "electrolosis" scene he really has that voice goin' on, it's creepy. Pluss his forhead looks like a wrinkley butt. not sure how I feel about that.
6. Droids don't feel pain, they say things such as "ow." several times, plus the one that says "run!" right after obi-wan slaughters a droid. This goes against the idea that droids were fearless, yet the merging of humanity and technology is a theme in the movie (vader, grievous...)
