stof said: Oh yeah. I know that wretchedly written scene. But him talking like an idiot to his girlfriend, isn't unbelievable.
But that final fight scene... They're running around towers as they collapse, they're swinging from cords across lava waterfalls, they're standing on flying droids. They're showing a complete disregard for the laws of physics with amazing jedi superpowers (And I'd forgotten that midicloreans were heat resistant, it's god damned lava!) And then all of a sudden "stop fighting I'm standing on a small hill"!?
Where the hell was "stop fighting your hanging by a cord dangling from a collapsing tower in a volcano"!?
And then Anakin answers him seriously with "you underestimate my powers!" when he should have said "Hill!? Did you see the the tiny droids we were just fighting on!? Hell we even had some vertical combat just back there!" |
Heh, in those videos I posted the guy actually goes off on a nice rant in that in part 6 (and then ends with an awesome Lucas quote).
It's pretty much even though the fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan was much more elaborate and longer in Episide III than the one between them in Episode IV, the Episode IV was so much better because it actually had undertones and you cared about what was going on. The Episode III fight between them lasted so long that you just got bored of it despite all the crazy shit.
And then, yeah, ending with the high ground commend, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, and Padme dying of a broken heart (lawl) was almost as big of a middle finger as midichlorians.
-edit-
And just to add another point to how awesome that above review is, he goes on for a good 70-ish minutes and doesn't rant once about Jar-Jar! He actually makes valid points how The Phantom Menace is just a plain awful movie.
It's great when he asks people to describe the following Star Wars characters without describing what they look like, what they wore, or what their role or profession in the movie was. Describe this character to you friends like they aint never seen Star Wars. XD
