[QUOTE="Methinkus, post: 196512, member: 3248"] A friend of mine said something funny the other day, that the only way to get another good star wars film out of Lucas would be to take his budget away and force the man to be creative again ;) Kidding aside though, I have seen it twice and I enjoyed it the first time, but loved it the second time. Only a few things bothered me, which of course I am about to go into detail about but seeing Yoda throw down more than made up for all of it. The great warrior Yoda, yes indeed. So anyway, here’s what bothered me; Hayden C – the guy who played Anakin – whom I had only seen in Life as a House before his appearance in Star Wars, but the thing is I watch him play Anakin and I feel like I’m watching the same character from Life as a House in a jedi suit. A whiney, unlikable, arrogant, self destructive little punk who has issues with his father figure. I thought the young Darth Vader should have been more confident and less whiney so we could take him more seriously rather than just say “oh look, Anakin is just another awkward teen”, but that’s just IMHO. On the other hand I thought Hayden did a great job in the “love scenes” where Portman seemed to be trying to take herself too seriously and held back a lot – it felt to me like she really didn’t care for Anakin at all, but then it looked like they got married(?) at the end so I could be wrong. The other problem I had with this movie was that it could easily have been episode 1. But then Episode 1 wouldn’t have happened and I wouldn’t have seen the greatness that was Darth Maul, who mauled people, or at least should have mauled people. Overall I must say that I enjoyed this film immensely and will probably see it again fairly soon. [/QUOTE]
