Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
I haven’t seen this movie yet bet I hope to soon, even though all I’ve been getting is bad reviews from friends. Someone told me that they and a group of friends went to the first showing of the movie in Kuwait (which SHOCKINGLY was available for veiwing 2 days before the US release). It was 12am and he told me that the cinema was packed. He complained that the movie not only was too long and proved more effective than Panadol Night at putting you to sleep, but also horrifyingly reminded him of Titanic! A girly love story made the ladies in the audience act like they’re watching an Indian movie (I personally don’t mind that element in the movie). He finished off by saying that if it wasn’t for the fact that he was the only one in the group who still didn’t have his driver’s liscence, he would have left the movie by the time it was a half hour into it.
Sheesh! I never take other people’s reviews of movies into consideration, but I was a tiny bit shocked at the reaction this highly anticipated movie which has been promoting and promising “the best” episode in the six part series for approximately a whole year!
The only reviews I do approve of are the reviews of Ebert & Roeper. They usually have the same like and dislikes I have. Well, I have yet to check out what they had to say about it. Even if it does get the two thumbs down, I’ll still watch it. I owe to myself at least! I haven’t watched episodes 4-6 yet because I wanted to watch the whole series in chronologicall order! I’ve been waiting since 1999!
I REALLY hope ‘The Da Vinci Code’ doesn’t suffer the same reactions when it comes out May 19, 2006. It will be the #2 highlight of the year 2006 (the World Cup is #1) and the pulicity team are wasting no time AT ALL at promotion. A teaser trailer has already been released. This will be a BIG BIG BIG movie. The Louvre has granted permission for filming to be taken inside, and all actors, in my eyes, are perfect in the roles they are playing. I simply cannot wait.
I will post my reaction to ‘Revenge of the Sith’ as soon as I see it. But until then I would like to know your views on the movie. Without inserting any revealing spoilers please!
= Anakin, I’m really interested in what you will have to say

There is nothing i can tell you haven’t already read or heard from people.
I am a good person basically, but i get easily overwhelmed by hatred.
Family, friends holding me a nice boy but yet i don’t know what i’ll be up to.
Once i had a dark comment here (don’t know if you ever noticed) and that hate is just a counterpart of what seems to be… let’s say a nice intention.
You know, when at the beginning you want to do things well and then you find out that it’s a fate they end bad.
In watching the saga (especially revenge of the sith) it was interesting to see how we can get from a side to another.
That’s how, from a personal view i see the star wars saga, it has to do with my being.
There is also a global point in star wars but i prefer to tell you my view about that after you see episode III if you want.

i REALLY agree on the point you made that its interesting to see someone go from one side to another..
i was planning on posting something that has to do with exactly that but has nothing to do with star wars.. wow, i never really thought of that while watching the movie.
