GO SEE ATTACK OF THE CLONES!!!! I went to the midnight showing today, and it was
incredible! One word to sum it up: Yoda. And one phrase to capture it all:
"Spiderman who?"
First an introduction to the night:
I got tickets for the midnight showing on May 5th when I went to see Spiderman.
Got in line at about 8:30 pm last night, with about 50 other people. First guy
in line got there at 3:30, second guy in line got there at 7. They let us into
the theater (one of four) at 9, and started the film at about 11:50 so that the
Star Wars screen popped up around 12:05. Where the heck was my Matrix
trailer though?!?! I read that it was supposed to be attached to the movie,
and other people said it was on their movie, but not on mine. Humph. And they
also wouldn't let lightsabre's into the theather, what the heck is up with that?
I felt sorry for all those people who brought some. Also saw two guys dresssed
up as Jedi, a few dressed up as Sith, and one girl dressed up as Padme in her
white suit. Gotta love Star Wars women :) Now onto the movie, first the
no-spoilers impressions.......
This movie is leaps and bound beyond Episode 1 and really starts to tie in
everything with the original trilogy. The fight scenes are jaw dropping, and the
CGI looks really really good. Jar Jar is hardly in the movie, and the dialgue is
pretty good overall, with just a few lapses, and there are some really powerful
moments. Natalie Portman is absolutly stunning and the entire movie is action
packed. It is defenitly a must see movie. And from now on watch out for
spoilers.....
**SPOILERS**
YODA!!!!!!!!! That fight scene alone will keep me going and going and going.
Forget Spiderman, I want my Yoda!!!! The packed theater I saw it in also went
wild when Yoda appeared, and cheered and clapped through the entire fight scene.
I LOVE STAR WARS FANS!
Overall I think this is one of my favorite Star Wars movies. This blows Phantom
Menace out of the water, mainly since it fixes everything wrong with Episode 1,
mainly Jar Jar. Jar Jar is good now, he's no longer annoying and is now just
another "weird alien guy". I like that. Storm troopers are explained now, as well as
Anakin's hate. I found C3PO's dialogue to be pretty funny, but reading other
reviews some hated it. Also read somewhere else how it seemed this movie should
be more PG-13 than PG. I've got agree, I'm amazed it got by with a PG rating.
Cutting off heads? And one more thing: Women Jedi Knights!
Anakin did have some acting problems, but nothing like Episode 1. Some of the
things he said ("I want to be the most powerful Jedi ever") just didn't sound
quite right in the way he said it. And as I read somewhere else, it did seem
like he was stalking her at first.
Speaking of the love story, it was ok.... Her love for him seemed sorta out of
the blue though. Or maybe I'm just jealous about her kissing him so much and not
me. I loved how everyone in the theater groaned in sympathy when she said "You
haven't grown up Anni" (or something like that). I mean it's a theater full of
geeks who have probably had very little success with girls, we feel the pain.
Also nice to note they'll be having the baby in wedlock.
And finally Natalie. Why do girls ALWAYS go for the bad boys
though? But man is she ever cute in this
movie. She has securered her spot as the most beautiful actress in
Hollywood.
Overall I loved it and I cant' wait to see it again. Yoda is too cool!
