I'd see it tomorrow, but I doubt I'd be able to... maybe I can though.. I didn't get tickets, but it's a thursday, and I dunno how many of the people would take off work to go see it (if I could get up early)... yep...

But chances are I'll have to see it later... some other day... in the future...

i'll stalk you till then:p :sneaky:

anyhoo...as for Episode 2...i fell asleep in the theatre during episode 1...i have a feeling the same will happen to me if i go see 2, so i'm not going to go, i'm not really that big of a starwars fan, i personally think that it's not very interesting. kinda crappy if you ask me, i rather watch star trek.....no wait...i rather not.:unsure:

so...yeah...i'm not going to see it.

No, I'm not joking.

It was a very good movie. The most entertaining Star Wars movie in my opinion.

Let's just say that in this movie, Lucas wanted to show us all why they call Yoda the MASTER.

:cool:

I'll leave it at that.

I likesed it... wasn't the best star wars movie... better than episode 1... maybe better than 1 of the others or so, I dunno I suck at judging things... but why judge? I liked it so :p

I went at noon... there was hardly anybody there... 'course it is a weekday :D

"Plus Anakin is played by a Canadian in this one, eh?"

Too bad for that, ya? *puts on critic act* Oh the acting was terrible, ESPECIALLY Anakin... *end critic act*...

I don't see the big deal with the acting... then again, I don't consider acting bad unless it's horrible... like in the older RE games :D

Crash

05-16-2002, 03:55 PM

i saw it too, and i totally disagree with DH, I thought the acting by Hayden Christianson (speline) was terrific!

There was not real space shooting kinda effects but it was good.

I trully think that John Williams was a little too "cocky" with his music though. You're not supposed to notice the music in a movie, it's supposed to add to the picture, but a few times during the movie, i said to myself. "gosh, that was a weird transition in the music"

georgie I think took too many clues from other movies in this one. especially gladiator. You'll see what i mean if you go see it.

overall rating on the movie: 8

and it was really long. the part with yoda made my laugh my ax off. it was rediculous!

05-16-2002, 07:06 PM

OMG. I saw the midnight movie, and it was sweet! Holy crapola. I have never seen so many Star Wars fanatics since the Sci Fi Expo of last year! This movie was great!!!! I do not know if I liked it more than Episode I... I just really liked that movie.

I think that the Yoda fight was astonishing, although it could have been a little longer. I do feel that Yoda was the highlight of the show. I loved how he didn't grab his lightsaber out of its holster, he used the "force grab" to get it. That was great. Oh man, Yoda is GOD!!!

I also liked how they set up the whole Boba/Jango Fett story. Boba Fett is in the top 3 lists of favourite characters of a lot of fans, so it is great that there is a little plot devoted to them. I have a feeling that Boba will kill Mace Windu in Episode III, because, well, I think that is pretty obvious.

Oh, and Obi Wan is a sneaky little muda fuka, now isn't he?! I really liked how he acted, and I liked how everybody acted in this film. I feel that Hayden Christianson did a great job, but I do not know how to judge acting, so I do not know if my opinion is valid.

All in all... I think that this was a great movie. 8 out of 10. I was really pumped up about this movie... I watched Star Wars on on Monday, Empire Strikes Back on Tuesday, Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace on Wednesday, and then I watched Attack of the Clones twice on Thursday. Damn Star Wars is great.

That's the only part I want to see really...cause I just can't imagine him fighting. lol

05-16-2002, 09:48 PM

He's Master Yoda for a reason. Anakin thinks he's a better swordsman than Yoda, ROFL!

I just saw it like an hour ago. And I must say that it made up for The Phantom Menace. The action and battle scenes were awesome. of course Yoda was my favorite part... I thought Yoda couldn't do nething cuz he was too old.. until now.

The acting was ok. The colosium part was really cool also. All those Jedis, there were at least 20 of them in it.

I would strongly recommend seeing it!

Sorry for the double post... But Star Wars Episode II racked in 30 million dollars on Thursday.

The final take of $30,141,417. established a new record for a weekday non-holiday opening. However, the one-day record belongs to "Spider-Man," which opened to $39.4 million May 3, a Friday.

"Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" opened to $28.5 million in 1999. Ticket prices have increased in the interim.

Fox is not predicting how much the new "Star Wars" film may make in its first weekend, but industry observers project it will earn more than $100 million between Thursday and Sunday. It is not expected to break the three-day total of $114 million set by "Spider-Man."

The box office comparisons between "Attack of the Clones" and "Spider-Man" are inevitable. But "Star Wars" is playing on just 6,000 screens in North America; "Spider-Man" opened on more than 7,500 screens, increasing its earning potential.

A broader comparison between "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Spider-Man" reveals some notable differences: "Spider-Man" cost an estimated $125 million to make; "Star Wars: Episode II" reportedly cost $80 million to $100 million. Columbia Pictures spent $50 million to market "Spider-Man"; industry observers believe Lucas spent around $30 million to market "Star Wars: Episode II."

Man that fight was excellent, I just wish it had lasted longer.

The big fight where there were loads of Jedi in the collusseum was great. There were at least 100 of them, there was a view from high above with loads of light sabre's swinging all over the place. Mace Windu's purple light sabre looked cool aswell.

For the record I think the guy who played Anikin done a good job, better than that little twat in Episode 1 by far.

Angrist, it can't be helped. Little details like this are necessary in order to show Anakin's transition to the dark side. As far as Jedi values, him getting married was just as bad. His gold hand is pretty cool, allows for better dexterity and handling of the light saber. :D

What about in Ep I when Obi-wan cut Darth Maul in half. . .and he like falls back and you see the two parts of his body falling separately.

I thought it was a good movie. The Yoda fight was cool. He barely walks in on his cane, then becomes this super Jedi. When the fight's over, he falls back on his cane like he can't walk properly. That made a lot of sense. :?
