Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaus" data-source="post: 2289199" data-attributes="member: 607">I got too bummed out by EpIII to write much, so I just quoted Takyris. But I'll write a bit more, and you can read Takyris' post in the previous page or so.4.The first time I cringed at this movie was when Count Dooku entered the room and, instead of walking down the stairs menacingly (which would be very much in character for Dooku and for Christopher Lee), he SOMERSAULTS down the balcony!Talk about pointless use of CGI.This happened a lot during the movie, with so many CGI stuff going on at the same time that the screen felt crowded and focus was lost. Like showing the cockpit of a tri-wing fighter and using CGI t show the faces of two clones. Yes, we know they're clones! You didn't have to stuff another face in there, ILM! Now it looks as though one clone is sitting on another's lap.Anakin and Padmé were bad. Very bad. Cringe-inducing bad.Anakin vs. Mace Windu: It would go well if Anakin delivered the killing blow and came to realize that the Jedi are indeed the evil ones. But then Palpatine goes "FENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!!!!". So much for playing the victim, Palpy!Speaking of Palps, his transformation into Gollum was one of the worst effects of the movie! And afterwards his make-up didn't fit well. He looked like rubber, not like The Emperor from RotJ. Plus he gets fried by his lightning and his hair remains silky white? At least go bald, man! His voice was weird as well.Anakin's slaying of younglings was rushed. If he truly thought that the Jedi were traitors, he could've taken the children under his wing and trained them to grow up and become the Emperor's Royal Guards. THAT would be a blow to the Jedi.And the way Anakin lost his legs was so lame I couldn't believe my eyes! Since when did "high ground" matter to a Jedi? Obi-Wan was leaping farther than that in Episode I!Anakin's voice was too high-note in his Mustafar lines. It would be a simple matter of Hayden Christensen doing a voice-over with a lower tone, possibly modulated to give it resonance (I've seen interviews of Hayden, and his voice is deeper than that).And Padmé's death was badly done. No mother would give birth, SEE her children, NAME them, and THEN die. Either her mother insticts would've kicked in, and she would raise Leia (and then die of a broken heart in Alderaan), while Obi-Wan spirited Luke away and claimed he died during birth, or she'd die before seeing her children.Finally, Vader's birth was a joke. It's ok for him to break off his manacles, but he then should've fallen to his knees, slowly and steadily rising to his full height, not that Frankenstein step. And his "NOOOOOO!" was a joke. It would make much more sense for the raging, passionate Sith to pound the floor with his fists (bending the metal underneath them) and let out an animalistic roar of rage, brimming with fury that couldn't be articulated. Instead, we get "NOOOOOO!".To me it goes V>IV>VI>I>II>III</blockquote>
