The Man I Am, Yes?
Last Friday we went and saw Episode 3 and I loved it. It wasn;t perfect, by any means. The romance angle was still as natural Pamela's tits and some of the dialogue was clunkier than my old Accord, but for the most part it did roxxor! The effects were brilliant, starting with the opening tracking shot of two Jedi fighters moving through a humungous space battle. Then we have fighting Jedis and evil Sith and more effects and one or two brilliant lines and Yoda kicking arse and Anakin being whiny and Yoda just simply owning a bunch of baddies.
I honestly feel that Episode 3 is closer to the original trilogy than the other two (obviously, 'cause it's more of a film than a toy advert). There's a dark edge to it that helps the story and the sets and costumes offer hints of a bridge between the production designs of the two trilogies. The clone soldier costumes are starting to get more stormtrooper-y and we see Senator Organa's blockade runner (of A New Hope fame). Also, to steal Sam's phrase, they didn't feel the need to sex up Darth Vader's costume. Maybe a couple of the lines are a bit different, but the switches on the front still look as retro and they even got a very good look-alike for Peter Cushing to stand beside the Emperor and Vader towards the end.
Episode 3 makes up for all of Episode 2 and some of Episode 1, but not all of it.
And certainly not for Jar-Jar!

Oh, and nothing, but nothing, can make up for midi-fucking-chlorians.
Four days after seeing it one thing keeps trucking through my head.
As they wheel Padme past the Noobians (or whatever that planet is called) you can see that she still looks pregnant. So she died taking her child with her. Or so Obi and Yoda want them to think. But Luke and Leia were born and both are supposed to be strong with the Force. If Yoda could feel all the Jedi getting slaughtered then why couldn't Siddius feel the twins being born for that point why couldn't their bloody father Anakin?
Siddius is the equal of Yoda and Anakin kicks the shit out of Siddius.
Plot hole? Seems that the Force takes on properities that suit the author.
The funniest thing of the whole series? All the stormtroopers would speak with Kiwi accents. Could you imagine being on that Death Star?
