Went to see "Star Wars: Episode III" tonite....

and i must say....GODDAMN! this is by far the best of the three prequels. the beginning is very action-packed, to say the least. It kinda slows down afterwards, but picks up again with about a half-hour left. The new villain, General Grievous, is awesome...I won't give away any details, but he's pretty badass.

The final fight is mind-blowing. George Lucas spared no expense on this one. It also ties in nicely to the original Star Wars (Episode IV).

I'll probably see it again, since my dad wants to go see it next week.

A good movie, Episode III was . I think I amped it up in my head too much. I still think that the Darth Maul vs Obi and Qui still ranks as #1 light saber battle.
Acting still sucked.
Movie was pretty good. My brother tried to scam my mom into letting him stay home so I could take him earlier....but no dice.

Now to get out of work early so I can play the video game with my little brother....

Went to see it last nite. It was okay. The good points where the action, the plot, the special effects, and Yoda. The bad points where the acting, the time spent hovering on the "zoomed out" views, terrible acting, reliance on computer graphics in the wrong places, and bad acting. Overall good but once is enough, I'll see it later in life on HDTV

the acting in every star wars movie from the characters who the story surrounded has always sucked. even from the beginning. but episodes 1-2 sucked the worse...havent scene 3.

if the story remains on track and good, ill think its good.

nah, the final battle in Episode III was definitely better than anything Darth Maul ever did.

While I have seen 1 movie (back in the day, it was free, I got to spend time with a bf, and it was free), I have no desire to see any of the others. They're just not my style.

I thought that the movie was amazing. Definitely better than the last two, and I would say better than Jedi. Still don't know where to place it among A New Hope and Empire.

Even if you don't like Star Wars, you should still see the movie. It stands out on its own as a great film.

You're the first person I've ever heard of not having seen at least ONE of the Star Wars movies.
The "OMG STAR WARS" people are the "never been laid" people so it's no wonder you don't want to see it. Also, if you assume the movie is anything like this gay marketing hipe then yeah, it would look like crap. For me, I've seen all the older movies when I was a child so it's only curiosity that brings me to view the newer ones. I wasn't let down by them either. Overall the series was good and with just about ever action flick the acting sucks.
My point is, if you aren't going to see it because it looks too geeky then that's not a good reason. If you don't like action flicks than that's a much better reason .
