I’m still not done editing Donte. I meant to do it tonight, I really did. But then a wonderful, darling friend called me at work and said he’d get the munchkin, I should go see Star Wars…I have really good friends. 😀
Yoda Rocks!!!!
Lots of saber fights, Obi-Wan Kenobi fighting from the back of a giant lizard, Yoda proving himself the ultimate kick-ass Jedi, Anakin so absolutely flippin’ hot in the fight over the lava (yes, I’m sure the temp was high, but I’m talking ‘hot’ as in black leather and sexy bod, people!) oh man, oh man, am I glad I finally got to see it!
No, in case you’re wondering, I don’t think it’s the best of the six, as someone told me. Unh uh. Doesn’t even come close to eps IV and V (especially V, Empire Strikes Back is STILL one of the best movies ever!) I’m thinking about Return of the Jedi. Anakin in Revenge was hotter than Luke in Return…all right, already! I’ll talk actual merit. Though hot guys in leather–eep! I’ll behave!
Can ya tell I’m on a bit of a high, here?
Um, serious. No real spoilers, but this is where I start complaining, so stop now if you can’t take it.
Don’t expect much from Padme. If you’ve been out from under your rock in the last twenty years, then you know Padme has to be pregnant in this one. Well, I’ll admit I wasn’t worth a damn when I was pregnant, baby-making took my brain away somehow. But this was a movie, and I expected more from Padme Amadala. Damn it.
Somebody could have fixed that script. Seriously, there are some parts where I wanted to slap someone. Knowing very well that slapping Jedis is not a smart thing to do.
And that reminds me. Is it me, or did most of those Jedi die way too easy? I mean, I could have taken them out with my purple toe of death. Sheesh!
But. And it’s a big but–
Yoda Rocks!!!
And Anakin glares divinely. And who would ever have dreamed I’d catch myself looking at Obi-Wan Kenobi’s ass? R2 is funny and cool, though one wonders why he didn’t defend himself so ably in the later movies… I did spot the Millenium Falcon. And did I mention light sabers all over the place? Great flying fights too. I’m glad they put in more of Anakin flying, since everyone told Luke what a great pilot he was…
Yes, I could make a list of inconsistencies. Yes, I do think they should have been a little more careful. If I remember that Leia said she remembered her mother, than damn it, Mr. Lucas ought to as well!
So. You know the speech go see it, but check your brain at the door? No. Get the brain a babysitter, you don’t want it wandering in and messing you up in the middle of the movie. And use the restroom before you sit down, you will NOT be happy using the little Jedi’s room while they’re on the lava planet. (Or the little Sith’s room, should that be your inclination…)
