Attention!!!! NERD ALERT!!!!
Okie so I saw Episode II last night with decent flick…glad I didn't try to get tickets for opening day…Spiderman was way better as a whole…I did see good parts and bad parts though. And now Im gonna talk about all those soooooo thanx to the lj cut tag if you don't wanna know you don't have too….
Hokay so here it goes….the movies had good parts and baaaaad parts lets start with good:
1) YODA KICKS ASS!!!!!!!! I knew he had it within him I knew it was like that when I saw the first movies, I believed in that lil muppet from tha get go.
2) It was nice to see a lil hatred boil in Anakin, you know tha whole movin to bad ass Darth Vader later on.
3) Was it just me and or was Jango Fett the same guy who was the chief of security in the first movie?!? (Prolly just us, we are crazy like that)
4) I liked how they showed older wiser Obi Wan and how they talked him up as a pretty spiffy jedi knight.
5) Padme (Natalie Portman) donning clothes ala Princess Leia…ohhhhhhh yeah
6) Finally an evil Jedi thinks about using the force to smack some Jedi around, I couldn't stand that last scene in Episode one where Darth Maul just waits for Obi Wan to cut him in half…had he been a real baddie he would knocked poor Obi off his precarious perch using the force and smiled evilly as he watched Obi fall to his death.
7) It was kewl to see young Jedi for once.
8) Yoda had his sense of humor, even back then.
9) Good to see R2 runnin around kickin arse and still eggin 3PO on
Alright thats about all I can really think about as far as good IMHO, now on to my geeky nit picking…
1) Like father like son - I now see where Luke got his whinniness from, cripes if I didn't know Anakin was gonna become big bad Vader I'd think he was a total wuss.
2) Okay I remember in the first one how Darth Maul was supposed to be big and bad and mean, yet Obi Wan kicked his arse because he was DUMB. But here is Saruman bein big and bad and Yoda's student no less and he just smacks Obi Wan around like a lil bitch, that was just not kewl and they moved slow in their fight, not like the fun fluid fight of Obi vs Darth Maul, I was hoping for a fight on that scale. Granted I did get it when Yoda came in and kicked some major Dooku ass, but it woulda been kewl to see and older more reserved Obi jump around as he did in his youth.
3) Shouldn't Jar Jar have been killed by now?!? (Though my gurlie does make an interesting point of Jar Jar is the only one dumb enough to give Senator Palpatine the power he needs to make the progression to Emperor)
4) Why isn't he dead again? Jar Jar is the face of all that is unholy in the star wars universe, well I think I mean the Ewoks I could stomach buuuuuuut Jar Jar puhlease!
5) Way too much of the mushiness between the two love birds, yech, I mean it's kewl that they included it to help make sure we understand the whole Luke/Anakin business, but it was just waaaayyyyy too drawn out.
6) I hate to say it but I thought Jedi were much more bad ass than this movie mde them seem.
7) Did I mention Anakin bein a lil bitch?!? I just kept thinking just turn already Im tired of this, I wanna see a bad ass!
8) I think most of my anger stems from the whole Episode I disappointment, but yeah thats about whot I think of the movie.
Sorry if I spoiled it for ya all but I just had to analyze this cuz I have latent geek tendancies and I have always thought of Darth Vader as a bad ass! He was almost always the epitomy of evil and badness in my book. Well until he turned into whiny Anakin again in Return of tha Jedi. Then again thats when the whole Star Wars Legacy started to get tarnished, again In My Humble Opinion, I can liken it to Metallica's Black album you konw sort of a farewell to everything we loved and cherished about both entities. Then everything just turns all bad bad, gotta wash this bad taste outta my mouth. Anywho thats my wierd lil look at it and hey maybe I can finally get comments in my lame journal!
