View Full Version : Star Wars
I'd never watched a Star Wars film until 2 days ago when I saw Episode 1. And I've been reformed into a Jedi-wannabe now! ;)
So, anyone seen Episode 2 yet? Opinions? Ratings? Post away. :)
Now, I need to find copies of the other episodes to watch..

Episode 2 was lame. Bad acting, bad dialogue, no character interaction. Well except somewhat between Anakin and Padme, but that was very bad as well.
Very very very disappointed, and I went in not expecting too much.

A good review which brings up most of the shortfallings.

something was wrong with Star Wars when the rebels couldn't do fuck, until they met the Ewoks, and the Ewoks then kicked Empire arse with wood and stones.

Personally I loved the movie. I think it's the best one.

Every one of the first 3 (1977-1980-1983 if I remember) was perfect.
I watched the 4th one (which is Episode 1) and it was awful. I mean the FX were fine, just there was nothing in it.

the first 3 were all amazing. the third started off a bit gay with the singing and shit, but ended so good u forgot how crap the film really was. but phantam menace was like real pants. there was none of the emotion, adrenaline pumping action like the original star wars trilogy. instead u gt dry acting, a tedious plot on the tax federation, and no harrison ford brillliant acting performances - although when i first saw the film, i was really trying my best to pretend to love it. very dissappointing, we give George Lucas millions of money for merchandise, etc, and he gives us Jar Jar Binks. anyway, i cant wait to see Episode II on Saturday, im just gonna forget that Episode I eva happened...and also pretend that i didnt read about that apparently amazing Yoda Jedi battle (i hate spoiling things for myself).
Alas, "better than Phantom Menace" still doesn't mean Clones is a particularly good movie.
*lol* :D

no really i think people that are slaggin off ep2 havent actually seen the movie they're just joining in with the bashin everyone is giving it... it was a cinematic, tense enjoyable movie... yes it has its flaws but they in no way destroy the movie, i thought it was great... slight flaws are not worth crucifying it for you picky sods!

I totally agree with sy. Episode 2 IS good. I didn't have high expectations for this movie as Episode 1 wasn't very good...however i was postively surprised...
The acting is...well, not too good, but ok... and the story of the film, is excellent. What they should have done is found another man to play anakin and everything would be perfect :bunny:

They wanted to get Leonardo Decaprio. If they had, I wouldn't even go to see it.

ok, Episode II seriously rocked. im not a big fan of action films, but this was just wkd. the first half could be described as laughably bad...not really the stuff with obi wan kenobi, but the ridiculous love scene between anakin and amadala. ive never seen something so badly acted, badly scripted and badly displayed ever in a film (no joke). buuut by the time things start rocking, u kinda forget how shit the film is, and witness the most incredible action scenes in film/star wars history - with plenty of linkage to the sequel star wars films. i also just remembered that the clone wars were actually mentioned in Episode IV, when Luke Skywalker chats to Kenobi, and asks if he fought with his father (Anakin) in the 'clone wars'.

While ep1 kinda sucked.....ep2 has completely redeemed the series. I loved it.

I agree with sk8bloke22. the first have sucked ass. the second half consisted of me and my friends cheering and waving our hands everytime u got a good look at padme's ass :D:D
it seriously saved the film !
but the special effects, and row upon row of clones owned too :)
ps. her ass is totally fucking class. it hits it peak when they are fighting with the animals... i like it too much ^^
Just saw Episode 2 today - I loved it!!
And OMFG, how much of a babe is Padmé Amidala.. :inlove:

I think I can safely say no one was actually watch the film, they were just following Natalie Portmans arse as it went across the screen, which is probably the best bit in the entire film too.
