Starwars: Episode 2 Attack Of The Clones

[Generic Skinhead]

Well I had fun, it was well ahead of phantom, with a good start, a dodgy middle and a good ending. Yoda was superb CGI wise and Binks was barely in it.

As for the acting I thought it worked. Natalie had a little more freedom this time, and Christiansen actually impressed me. Ewan Mcgregor has always had a certain charisma for me regardless of his dialogue. Perhaps the most important thing to remember and where I sympthasise most with the actors is that they are acting to nothing. A lot of conversations happen with cgi creatures, so it would take a greater director than lucas
to draw out a jaw dropping performance from the cast.

asfor wall to wall CGI the only CGIthat bugged me was the creature Anakin rides on Naboo (not portman) and "Senator Binks." Just didnt look right. And what do you have to do to become a senator anyway?

But what really dissapointed me about this film is the action figures. I mean theyre way too small!

I totally agree with what Rar said. It lacked humour. The dialogue was **** . The plot, okay.

It was better than Episode 1.

And all I have to say is;

HAR HAR!! JAR JAR BINX YOU **** ! YOU STARTED THE CLONE WARS!!

LoL.

I'm back! ah well.... no one noticed i'd gone

Yeh, i went to see it the other day, in my opinion it was very good, yet lucas seems to concentrate too much on the FX and shots and doesn't get a performance out of the actors/actresses. Well at least Ewan Mcgregors (sp?) performance was better than his phantom menace Obi Wan, :-P

oh and there were a few bits of humour, for example, C-3PO's camp outbursts "i'm beside myself" and "this is a bit of a drag" - I was splitting my sides laughing *ahem, not*

although it was kinda funny when he was on the battle droids body

oh.. and PURPLE LIGHTSABERS ROCK

so, anyone got any idea what will happen in the next one, how all the jedi die and how anakin goes to the dark side etc etc.

Thinking a little more about it, I see the shadow of Hamlet lingering over Anakin's charachter, although as noted, Lucas is no shakespeare in the storytelling or dialogue stakes.

Also ,on an unrelated but more important note: Roy Keane has kicked off my summer in the worst possible way... [img]mad.gif[/img]

Have not seen it yet - but will go - watched Terminator on the box the other night - I think James Cameron to direct Star Wars - even Timecops, on box as well, with the muscles from Brussels was a better story than the last Star Wars - grafics excepted.
