A24 4,326 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The critics are tearing it a new one.Hehehe, I could you tell the same after watching just one scene. It's no different from the prequels. An action movie that shows action scenes without a sense of gravitas is a bad action movie. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesyboy 3 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well, I guess I'm crazy. I liked this movie, but it appears that I may well be the only one.Then you can call me crazy too. I really liked it as well. Lots of fun, good story, and great action.And the comment on the battle droids...they were like that in the prequels. "Roger roger" and the AOTC finale...come on, did you actually think that's the dialogue of a ruthless killing machine!The music worked really well in the film as well.As far addressing bad dialogue...the entire series (meaning all 6 films) has it. That is not an isolated incident. I actually liked the dialogue and thought Obi-Wan had quite a cool attitude.If there was anything I didn't like, it was Ziro Hutt's voice...I kept thinking Cartman.Overall, a very enjoyable Star Wars show.Jamesyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Roger roger" and the AOTC finale...come on, did you actually think that's the dialogue of a ruthless killing machine!It sounds very mechanical, or something a soldier would say. Nowhere near the whole "you're outnumbered" exchange ("No, one...two...three...BOOM!). As far addressing bad dialogue...the entire series (meaning all 6 films) has it. That is not an isolated incident. I actually liked the dialogue and thought Obi-Wan had quite a cool attitude.It was never this bad: "Well you better get focused, because things just got a whole lot harder!"Don't get me wrong - there were some good and new ideas in the film (particularly the action sequence that was fought going up the vertical cliff), but overall the film was uninteresting in many ways.

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 It was never this bad: "Well you better get focused, because things just got a whole lot harder!"Okay, now you're just being silly. In no way is that bad dialogue. It's uninspired, but if you're watching a Star Wars movie expecting Mamet or Milch or the like, you've taken some sort of odd detour. In fact, this dialogue comes from one of the movie's better scenes.This movie has problems, no doubt about it. Somewhere on the web earlier today -- can't remember where, but it hailed from an interview given to MTV, I believe -- I read that George Lucas dictated to the filmmakers that Ziro the Hutt be made to sound like Truman Capote. Now, that's not only a bad decision, it's an epically bad decision. That's my biggest problem. My second-biggest is the lame, confusing newsreel-style voiceover in the prologue. My third is the score, which is uninspired in every regard and, for my taste, makes far too little use of the well-established Williams themes.These three problems (two major, one fairly minor) are offset by all the things in the movie that I liked. Maybe I've just become so casual a Star Wars fan -- even of the original trilogy, which seems less awesome every time I watch it -- that I've developed the ability to simply tune out the various moments of Lucasian infantilism and incompetence.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I hated the comical twist that was added to all the battle droids, it made them seem like blundering idiots. They were no longer mindless machines intent on killingAnd...can you point me where in ROTS are the battle droids 'mindless killing machines' and not clowns? I dont know why but George Changed his mind about them for tham movie.Well seeing the trailers in spanish, I can't complain about the voice overs, all voice talents seem to be the same from the movies.

MissPadmé 17 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have rewatched Episode III because now after The Clone Wars I was in prequel mood.. and just rediscovered how much I like his film, it's not that bad..on most parts its very good. And only now I detected how goofy these droids have become.. but I find that hilarious! also the german dubbing voices are perfect fine actors soo the lame acting in the original version doesn't bother me (but unfortunately I can't hear the performance by Ian McDiarmid..and exept for the "No, no, no.. you will die"-scene that's a pity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't marketed as Star Wars. I've been a lifelong Star Wars fan, only recently heard that the movie was coming out this month, and have no desire to see it. TO me it's like those Ewoks movies. Not Star Wars at all. We can bich about the prequels, but bottom line in my opinino is that flaws and all, at least they were Star Wars and had some of the magic.

"This scene now was so unrealistic and pathetic.. what must have all the others thought when george said: Cut, Great!" I imagine george being somehow like Edward Wood.. how just can't divide good from crap.. or doesn't pay attentionROTS has many flaws and only a few of them are really outstanding bad (the whole "You have to choose" scene, the first steps of darth vader + his "desperate" Nooo...) wouldn't you agree, Joey?and again..

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I prefer Revenge of the Sith to Return of the Jedi, also. Personally, I think the originals are over-praised in some camps . . . probably the same camps that over-deride the prequels.And this coming from someone who breathed, slept, and ate Star Wars from, oh, let's say 1980 through 1995.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 For us Indy is a little screwed, Radiers has one voice talent, and the other three have Luke's voice talent (not han solo, which is the most used voice talent for Ford ), i dont mind the Luke one, but the 1st one is rather dull compared to.Shame that Luke's dubber said in an interview that if he was asked to re-dub Raiders he will not do it, because he thinks the other person did an excellent job.
