Sorry couldn't resist.


Just out of interest, who's acting didn't you like? I'll admit that Natalie Portman (Padme, or "that one lady" as you said :razz: ) wasn't up to her usual standard, but I suspect that was mostly because of the crappy dialogue she was given ("you're breaking my heart" and "hold me") and the fact that her character didn't get to do anything (being pregnant and all). I felt that Ewen Mc Greggor who played Obi-Wan did an awesome job of acting in episode 3. Especially his monologue at the end. And Hayden Christenson (Anakin) was infinetly better than that little kid in my opinion.


I hated Natalie Portman's acting in it! It was so repetitive and fake looking! Hayden Christenson didn't do all that good of a job either, in my opinion. Ewen Mc Greggor was probably the best in it. He did a good job. The acting probably would have been better with a different director. I do a lot of plays, and I've learned that the director is the reason the final product turns out the way it does.

I liked the special effects, though. They were cool. Only, they should have both melted when they were fighting on the volcano.

I saw that movie, but not in theaters. It was pretty good. The plot was a little slow, but it was a very good movie and it had good acting.

the last movie i have seen is either star wars 3 or sin city

i found star wars a bit disappointing and i'm glad i'm not the only one who's not saying how great it was.

sin city was actually quite enjoyable. i like the way they putted those 3 stories together and the film noir ... attitude. i hope they make a sin city 2

I saw the Batman movie while I was away at my graduation and it was brilliant. I then saw Mr and Mrs Smith this week and it starts slowly but it is a good film. Not as good as I was expecting it to be though.
