I was kind of thinking that those who haven't seen it yet wouldn't really be responding to the thread called "what did you think of . . . "

The love story was horrible. "I love you sooo much!" "I love you sooo much too!" They could have gotten the same results w/o the 2 actors trying to act like they were in love.
Yoda is one baaaaaaad 'lil frog-type creature. Kicks ass he does. Much insight has he. Sometimes it seemed like there was so much action going on the, I couldn't focus. Lots of blurry background stuff. I think I'll have BBQ for lunch today in honor of the movie.

It was incredible. The Empire Strikes Back is still my favorite, but Revenge of the Sith is a very close second. Lucas totally redeemed himself! Lucas did an outstanding job of tying the loose ends.
Also, for those of you with kids that wanted to see it, I really didn't think that there was anything in the move that was traumatic. They show Anakin's burned body, but that was only for a couple of very short shots. There were a few kids that I saw in the theatre that were between 5 and 9. If I had a kid, then I'd probably take them to see it. I give it 5 stars out of 4. |

I thought it was good. Superb special effects. That said, Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman can not act. Period. Ewan McGregor left a lot to be desired at times. Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine and Samuel L. Jackson really made a difference. The script writers could have done better as well.
This one makes the disasters of Episodes 1 and 2 even more apparent. They should not have been as screwed up as they were. |

I thought it was pretty good. I left somewhat disappointed though, I guess I was hoping for more Mace Windu kicking ass or something. I was somewhat letdown by his battle... Was the Emp letting Mace win for awhile there to egg on Anakin, felt like it a bit to me but no-one I went with really thought so??
Kinda disappointed with the battle with Grievous too. I found it strange that for the movie they made no mention of how Mace Windu damn near killed him in the Clone Wars Cartoons, they just left him limping around coughing without explaining it. They should have included that scene in the movie, take all of 30 seconds and would have helped the movie some IMO> His battle with Obi-Wan wasn't quite what I was hoping for... I also didn't really like the way Anakin lost the battle, felt lame or something. The Emperor's voice annoyed me at times too, they went a little overboard with his "evil voice". But overall I liked it, lots of good action. But I also liked the previous two movies too so... |

Lame script,
But keep in mind it was outlined when he was in HIGH SCHOOL. It should be immature. I enjoyed the special effects, as I did with the silly Jurassic Park films. It is amazing what can be put onscreen nowadays. I had one moment of satisfaction when Vader took his first 'aqua' breath. The rest of the stuff made me squirm with it's 6th grade speeches. I am no fan of swords and scorcery, but it must be said LOTR is by far the best script of all the fantasy epics. Of course, both it and the Potter films have great book authors to outline the stories. That's something Star Wars, Star Trek and Matrix just didn't enjoy. The Fantastic Four trailer looks great! Cya at the movies. |

That was teh mother of all lightsaber battles and Anakin got PWNED! They tore thru that seperatist base every which way. I mean, dayum, Obi Wan didn't even get scratched! That space battle at the beginning rocked. Gotta admit, Ewan McGregor has come along way from Blackhawk Down and Trainspotting. |

OK, so participating in the poll isn't for those of you who haven't seen it; and if you want to know what it is like, check out the poll results and the posts in this thread.

Easily the 2nd best Star Wars, close to Empire. Portman can't act, Anakin did a hell of alot better than I was expecting (menacing scowl!). The emperor was spot on.
Wookie fight kicked ass, and yes I was one of the geeks who cried out when the Jedi were getting slayed. |

I just finished watching episode 3 this morning, followed by episode 4 this afternoon. So what happened to all of Vader's saber skills? He and Obi Wan fight like a pair of wusses in episode 4. No flipping or spinning of sabers.
I guess all that robotic stuff got the best of him. |

damn good flick, didnt vote best ever, but it's probably the best Star Wars episode. Tied up all the loose ends. Poor Darth Vader got his legs cut off. Yoda kicked some serious ass too, for a while

I agree. I liked how it wrapped everything up, and the special effects were very good. |

I disagree with your first paragraph (I think Hayden was decent, and Natalie did about the same... Ewan was amazing- think about it, he acted like Alec Guinness while standing in front of a bluescreen and doing physical stuff...) But the part I highlighted in red is absolutely true and a good assessment. I know that this arc had to be a bit different than the first one... But Ep. III just highlighted the deficiencies in the first 2. |

Do you really want to see ANOTHER version of Star Wars where Lucas completely digitally redoes the fight scenes with flipping and Force pushes???

Had to vote "B" because of the poor range of poll choices...
 It clearly wasn't The best movie ever!!, but I thought it was more than just "good." |

They made Darth Vader and indecisive, whiny pussy.
Dialogue was written by hacks or George Lucas (pick one). Storyline was weak. The Emperor wasn't nearly as impressive as in Return of the Jedi. The movie sucked. Didn't stop me from going to the midnight showing the night it opened, though.

Saw the 0930AM showing today.
I liked it alot. Droids don't fight very well even if armed with multiple light-sabers! |

Sorry. I guess I intended the "good" choice to be rather enthusiastic. Maybe it should have been "GOOD!" |

That opening fleet battle was the best I've ever seen, bar none. Amazing special effects there.
I'd give it an B+/A- but not as good as any of the LOTR series. Easily the best of Episodes 1, 2 or 3. |
