No! I'm loving this, and all the other reviews in this thread. I agree with so much of this stuff.
Were the special effects not that good? I'm easy to impress I suppose, and found the backdrops to be quite pretty.
I too loved R2D2! He was the only comic relief in the movie. They had a big opportunity to provide comic relief in Obi Wan's character because Obi seems like a whimsical kind of guy, but they failed big time. Instead he just comes across as a doofus.
I was quite disappointed in the Jedi massacre as well. Aren't Jedi supposed to be able to sense evil plots? There was a deleted scene with a female Jedi that was just terrible. I was so glad they didn't put that in.
Even though the movie clearly couldn't stand on its own, I still enjoyed it. Probably because it gives us more backstory for 4, 5, and 6. What I'm wondering is that since it is apparently obvious to every single person on earth except for George Lucas that the dialogue sucks hard, why didn't anyone mention it to him? Is he really that much of a god in Hollywood that no one is going to bring up these terrible flaws?
I'll say that I liked it better than two. Just because in two Annakin bugged the ever living crap out of me, and he did less so in three. Even though two makes more sense story wise. I liked one. You get a sense of excitement when you see him as a small boy and wonder how he became so dark. It's too bad the next two are such a disappointment. It's like they left an hour of film out that shows us why he turned. Especially the first kill (Dooku?). He debates for like a second and then throws his training out the window? I don't buy it. After that, I half expected him to leave Obi for dead.
I'm gonna go watch four now!
