Made a valid point, Padme went from strong warrior to couchpotato... And slightly whining before the final confrontation. Guess I didn't consider her as much - too much else going on. Wookie skipped, instant evil, far-out robots and spaceships. Will probably need to see it at least one more time to get a grip on it.
Is that good or bad? Good in the sense that there are several levels to the story and entertainent (not just eye-candy). bad in the sense that a movie ought to be a self-contained unit... but there is no way Ep III (and the sixth movie) in a phenomenon like Star Wars could ever be considerd 'self contained' - there is just to much backstory, to many years of thoughts and discussions ... but that implies that it should be approached differently from a lot of movies, almost like taking up the piano; sure you can sit down and start tapping keys, but it will take some time and guidance to start playing a classical work or a good jazz groove.
Btw written on the balcony with the stylus and the MDA. (And posted a bit later out of lazyness - need to test the other device where bluetooth actually works for sharing the internet connection)
0605 - unedited... Do we want the rant? Do I only remember bits and parts because there was too much crammed into it, or because there was a lot of filler?
'slow motion no' link from Mur. Nooo... Good entertainment. (On a side note: one of the best 'voice overs' I've heard is from the Stallone climbing momvie - where he can't hold on and shout nooooooo for several second - and then the Russian v/o goes 'njet', short, flat and to the point.)
