Im about to kick the living shit out of this worthless carcass of a fucking movie and make it the bitch it so deserves to be, so consider yourself warned 
I havent read the other threads yet, but I shall get to them after I have ranted
First, everyone knows I LOVE Star Wars, I even sorta liked Episode one (except for the atrocious acting), Ive read all the books, comics etc. I own the movies on tape twice over and have loads of other Star Wars stuff, but I dont care how much I love the movies, shit is shit, no matter how you dress it up.
First though, the good stuff!
* Ewan Macgregor wasnt quite as bad in this one acting wise, he was still horrible, but less so..... lets say he was a Load instead of a Reload......
* Natalie Portman was very good, very believable as a senator/exqueen, unlike the rest, and I thought for sure that moment when she was standing on the conveyer belt staring at the crushing thing that Akakin would swoop in and save her thus fulfilling the oldest cliche in the book, I thought it was good she did it herself, so nice work on that part George.
* Awesome set designs, the clone facility was just amazing, outside and inside, and Coruscant was as amazing as ever. The people designing these sets are geniuses.
* The special effects, they werent quite as "obvious" cgi as the ones in the first film, probably helped that it wasnt set in the sunlight and desert mostly like the first film, which always makes cgi look worse.
* Lightsaber fights. I dont think theres a way to make these crap though
* C3PO. Out of the whole movie, he was the only one that when I watched him, he reminded me exactly of the first 3. He is so gay
Now, the BAD, this could go for a while........
* Jango Fett, disgraceful acting. Little Boba Fett? What the F**K? How lame. It was handled wrongly, the dialogue by Jango and Boba was atrocious, it was laughable at times. We were supposed to think he was a fearsome bounty hunter, but I could hace kicked his ass with one hand behind my back. Anyone here think Jango is even a TENTH as cool as Boba? There was no explanation why Jango wanted a clone of himself, there was no explanation why he let himself be cloned for the army, and no explanation as to why he SUCKED as an actor
* Jumping from cars in the sky? I dont care that they are the greatest Jedi ever, its just stupid! Yes it looked cool, but it was silly. "I hate it when he does that", thats such a dumb line, and one that I would expect to see in a Van Damme movie, not Star Wars The whole chase scene was really dumb, the only good bit was when he jumped through the window at the start of the chase, that rocked! Of course, ripping off the ENTIRE scene from The Fifth Element didnt help.
* When Anakins mother died. George must have gotten a 50 for 1 sale down at the local cliche house, because it was melodromatic and downright silly
Just happened to find her RIGHT before she died? PUHFUCKINGLEEZE! Dont even get me started on the IDIOTIC speech he made to Padme when he got back about how he slaughtered the women and children......
* Yes they can make a lightsaber scene suck. Yoda. YODA. FUCKING YODA! In a lightsaber fight? I actually LAUGHED. It was the STUPIDEST part in quite a stupid movie, so thats saying something. He was jumping around the walls like he was in the Matrix or something. It looked utterly ABSURD. He is supposed to be a Jedi Master, not a green freaking cannonball.
I understand that he is powerful with the force and so could do that sort of thing, but it really looked silly having him take on a guy 6 feet taller than him, if he hadnt been bouncing of the walls like one of those hibouncer balls it would have been ok.
* Anakin. The guy who played him sucked. Sorry, I meant the guy who OVERACTED him sucked.
* George throwing in stuff from the first trilogy to try and convince people it is more like the first 3 than episode 1. This really annoyed me, taking dialogue STRAIGHT from the other films and trying to pass it off as an "omen" kind of thing. Maybe it didnt bug other people, but it seemed VERY forced to me.
Ok, thats about it, I was very disappointed, I was sitting there actually bored in some parts of the movie.
Maybe when I see it again on dvd ill change my mind, but the acting just RUINS the movies, the first 3 were played straight up and serious, but these 2 seem like the actors are going "well, we are just having fun, I mean, its all fake isnt it?" the whole time and not taking it seriously, and it ruins what could have been very good movies had they gotten some GOOD actors
Im done. Did anyone get through it all?
