Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[bwind22]

Doom

It was a little better than I was expecting. I guess I assumed it would be PG-13 so I was pleasently surprised that it was R. Interesting story, decent gore & The Rock's acting wasn't all that bad. (Actually, he's not too bad at all... I really liked The Rundown & his character in Be Cool too.) Anyways, this wasn't anything groundbreaking but it was fairly entertaining. The 1st person shooter perspective towards the end was pretty interesting.

Demons rules!!!! That's probably in my Top 10 horror films for sure!

Demons 2 is more of the same basically, but it involves a different group of people and they are trapped in an apartment compleex, not a movie theatre. The guy that plays the pimp in the first one is back in the second one though as a different character.

I got a kick out of a lot of it ..

Leslie Neilson at the UN, Tom Cruise going crazy,
the digs at The Village...and the Grudge

(i dont know what i enjoy more .. a film i hate getting ripped, or one i love :)

it petered out near the end but it still provided some good laughs

The best part was during the War of the Worlds part where all the elctronics stop working & that terrorists jumps out of the van with a bomb strapped to his chest shouting 'Death to America! ...Oh shit.' That was the highlight of the film for me for sure. I was glad that they didnt let the Wayans Bros have anything to do with this one too.

Monster Squad

dated as hell but still kind of fun

mixed reactions to the use of the budget .. excellent in some places, weak in others.

somehow managed to pull off a moving relationship with the monster and the little girl..

That is such a classic.

There's a pretty dope 'Kick him in the Nards!' shirt for sale if you click the banner for horror t-shirts on the top of some of the HDC pages. $15 but I'm thinking about it... There's a pretty awesome WWJD (J=Jason Mask) shirt too that I might have to purchase....

the only thing that bugged me (because i watched it with my 5 year old boy ... was the use of the word 'faggot' and 'bitch'

seemed out place given the audience this would normally appeal to .. (smaller kids)

I think they were trying to appeal more to teenagers....but it's still a pretty good monster flick for the younger crowd. I've been dying to get my hands on it for a while now.

The Matador

Going into a movie with high expectations usuallly leaves me cold, but not in this case. Really good movie, highly recomended. Best performance of Brosnan and Kinnear's careers IMO.

The only thing: I wish I would have known how dialogue driven it was beforehand. Personally I love that kind of movie (providing the characters are interesting, which they are here). My dad, on the other hand, hates that kind of movie. I really wish Id watched it alone, so I didnt have him complaing about "nothing going on" for the whole movie:rolleyes:

It's rumored that somewhere in the next two films Penguin 'll show up and Philip Seymour Hoffman is the lead prospect. I think he'd be great as well.

[The_Return]

I cant really picture the Penguin in Nolan's universe. He's such an absurd character...so is Joker, but he could/should/does have a dark side. Penguin is just so over-the-top, I cant picture it.

On the other hand, PSH would be perfect for the part.

[heebiejeebies]

The Descent -- It wasn't the most enjoyable movie experience because the person I went with is not into "horror" movies and showed up to the theater five minutes after the start time of the movie. (She's family, so I gotta love her...or so she says.:p) The reason she HAD to go see it with me was because it was payback time. She dragged me to Date Movie, so it was my turn to inflict a little misery. She got off lucky if you ask me. I was originally going to make her see The Hills Have Eyes, but our schedules wouldn't allow it.

As for the movie...I liked it, although it was a little slow at the beginning. Now before anyone starts complaining, I don't have a problem with setting up background information or providing character development, but all of it dragged on just a little longer than necessary IMO.

Being a tad claustrophobic myself, the cave scenes left me a little breathless. All that climbing through tunnels, being in the dark, etc. got to me. And those "monster men" were pretty creepy.

I read that the original ending was changed to the one in theaters now because the original one seemed too "hopeless." Well, I don't know what their definition of "hopeless" is, but the ending they're showing now seems pretty "hopeless" to me. I'm anxious to see the original ending and compare levels of "hopelessness."

Well making me laugh isn't exactly the hardest thing in the world to do. But for someone more critical of comedies I'd say it's hit or miss. I think it's a perfect trailor in the sense that it pretty much shows you how the whole movie's gonna be.

[tarcher80]

sorry, but i'm lazy and didn't feel like writing a different post for this thread, so i'm using the one i posted in "the descent" thread.



i just got back from the descent and it definitely lives up to the hype. now excuse me for a moment while i become a critical bastard. the "oh shit" moments were great, but i think neil used a little too many-by the end they had lost some of their value. also i was a little disappointed w/ the creatures-they just look too human. i think if the creatures were a little more shocking in appearance, it would have made the film even scarier. now, that being said i still loved the movie. i may not have jumped (like everyone else in the theatre), but my heart was in my throat more than once. neil marshall does a great job building up the tension then letting it out like a balloon. he gets your mind away from the creatures just long enough that when they pop up it makes for a great scare. decent back story too. i did not know what was going to happen w/ the main characters and their conflict until, well... it happened. the ending that hollywood added wasn't too bad, but the original sounds much better. all in all this is a very well made horror film that should be seen.

Speaking of the ending...

Im too lazy to do the research...this came out before the video for Take On Me by A-Ha, correct? If so, I love that video even more now for referencing this movie. (For those not famillar with it, I recomend checking it out. The video's probably on YouTube or something. Even if you dont like the song, Im sure you'll agree that the video is pretty awesome)

After reading the IMDb comments on this film, I'm really eager to watch it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; while the original is in some terms a classic, I found this reinvisionment of the novel to be leaps and bounds above it. Why? Because this, in my opinion, is how Ronald wanted his novel to be seen. He disowned the original, and I am curious to see what he would think of this. I certainly love it. Tim Burton cares for his work, greatly, and it sure shows through.

I made fun of my friend for spending her money on this dreck. The only errors are in the dialogue? How about the fact that there are no streets in Venice. Maybe the fact that both the car and sub of Nemo is better than anything we have today. The plot was stupid and predictable. I feel bad when a great actor like Sean Connery makes crap like this.

So the idots just decided to make up their own word:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The Blair Witch Project

I love to see what some people are capable of without any real sort of budget. The shaky camerawork is a bit annoying, but there's no denying the originality of this film. I also like the improv script because it gives the characters, and thereby the film itself, a more realistic feel. In general, I'm not a big fan of ghost stories but there are a couple I endorse and this would be one of them, if for no other reason than it's sheer originality & fabulous marketing campaign that turned it into a pop culture phenomenon.

Ahhh thats the one! She was great in Lethal Weapon 3 aswell.
Not at all. Unforgiven was a totally killer role as was Billion Dollar Baby. I was just saying it was up there with his better roles instead of a lot of the 80s stuff where he seemed to do the typecast tough guy thing and was going thru the motions.
I prefer the tough guy with heart roles where he spews passion and the acting is really natural. But whatever... he is one of the few actors that I can enjoy in anything. I personally would like see a good comedy thrown his way.

I've been watching Full Metal Alchemist for the last couple of days. I'm really enjoying it so far, but that comes to a stop until I can afford to order the other 5 million volumes of it.

Gonna check out Wolf's Rain in the meantime

Not at all. Unforgiven was a totally killer role as was Billion Dollar Baby. I was just saying it was up there with his better roles instead of a lot of the 80s stuff where he seemed to do the typecast tough guy thing and was going thru the motions.

I just got the thought because In The Line of Fire came after Unforgiven, but since that was the film being talked about, you made the comment using said film. I ramble without or over thinking sometimes.


I agree with the comedy idea, I always thought he'd be perfect for the old veteran/hot shot rookie cop movie. He tried with The Rookie, it was fun, but the script was a little off for lack of a better word.

Hello there fellow Horror Fanatics. It's ages since i was on here- my computer blew up, then my TV blew up so basically I have been skint paying for repairs (TV first of course!!) and so have quite a backlog of films to discuss. I have a kept the pile of films by my desk - it's now huge lol...so I best get discussing. Good to be back anyway guys.


Below

I have to say I really enjoyed this little spookfest. I found it to be a novel addition to my 'ghost movie' collection. Some really creepy parts, solid acting and overall dark feel to the movie makes this the perfect kind of ghost story. A ghost and a submarine - great combo!

7/10


Undead

Now, this is one of the first films I watched since I was last on so my memory is vague lol which should say alot about the film really. I thought it was a poor man's Shaun of the Dead really - it was ok, some good gore, a couple of funny bits - overall decent for it's budget and the disc itself is packed with extras. However, once you have seen Shaun then this doesnt really compare. I must also point out that I found the beginning of the film to be stronger then the 'second half' of the movie...

6/10


More films to follow tomorrow lol.

[newb]

Pirates, Dead Man's Chest....nice follow up movie, some scenes could have been trimmed a bit, great make-up and effects....a fun watch.

[slasherman]

Inside Man..I'm still no Spike Lee fan after this...didnt see the point of this movie....lame

5/10

Its called sci fi stupid. There are no invisible people or Mr. Hyde's but you don't see anyone complaining about that stuff. Oh and venice does have areas to walk on, just like streets..... only there are no cars... Its pretty much the same thing.

[Angelakillsluts]

Haunted Highway

I actually liked it, but I'd be careful who I'd recommend it to. The beginning was horrible and I was so sure the rest of the movie was going to go swirly. I think if it was done better it would be a favorite of mine, but the movie had some serious problems. The flashbacks are just hard to watch, badly acted and poorly scripted.
The majority (about 98%) of the movie follows the main character Greg driving to a lake to dump his dead wife. I thought his acting was great for the most part as he is haunted by his wife and a ghost version of his mistress (who is alive... another dumb thing). I really liked the idea behind the movie, only wish certain aspects of the story like the flashbacks (which should have been important) were executed better. Pretty scary as well I thought, maybe that's because I'm already paranoid when I get in my car alone at night... I always check the backseats for wounded serial killers. :D Low production values and like I said most of the movie takes place in and around a car on a stretch of road at night. The look of the movie never really bothered me though, didn't look that bad.

3/5

(Don't rent this movie, statistics show there is a 95% chance you'll think it is one of the worst movies ever. :( )

Listen jackass, you just proved my point. It is called science fiction, the science part of it is based on laws and formulas, or else it would just be called fantasy. When you are going to include a city into your story, sci-fi or not, you can't change the city. Yes, Venice has walkways, but they are not wide enough to drive a car on. Also, if you are going to have the story take place in a time period, take into account what is possible and what is not. That is what makes good sci-fi and bad sci-fi. In my opinion, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a piece of CGI dreck. Of course, some might agree with me:

5.4/10 - IMDB
2/5 - Netflix
3/5 - Amazon
18% (Critics) 43% (Users) - Rotten Tomatoes

Then again, to each his/her own.

[AUSTIN316426808]

Dr. Jekyl, Invisible Man, Tom Sawyer, Vampire ect. It's fantasy if you ask me and fantasy doesn't have any rules. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I would agree that it might lean more towards fantasy. No matter what genre it falls into, it's still a crappy movie.

[Miss Olivia]

League may be crappy, but I enjoyed it a lot more than other crappy movies.

[Ooky_Kabuki]

[Elvis_Christ]

Stone:
Great late 70s Aussie biker flick. I really like this one.

Malevolence:
Basically a Halloween rip off but it had some great bleak atomosphere and a few chills which saved it from being just a run of the mill slasher. Could've done with more gore. I dug it anyways and it worth a watch.

Janis

This was a decent Janis Joplin documentary, but aside from the concert footage, it wasn't much I hadn't seen before.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

Okay, I have a couple issues with this movie... 1, if you are gonna title a movie Book of Shadows, doesn't it stand to reason that a book would play prominently into the film? It doesn't. 2, the plot is ridiculous.

I enjoyed the start & end of this movie but there are just way too many plot holes to make this film good. At one point during one of the films most outlandish plotpoints, a character says "This doesn't make any sense." Boy, did he hit the nail on the head.

I don't know... It had potential, but it wasn't exectued properly or even anywhere close to properly.

[PeaSoupintheye]

And so my Film list continues...

Brothers Grimm


I have to say I was slightly disappointed with this. Looking back now (and it was a while ago I watched this) I can't help but wish that Tim Burton had made this film instead. It was... ok... dark in parts and I found it novel incorporating fairy tales into the one story but I also found it rather slow paced and the effects could have been better. Unless you feel a real need to watch this I'm sure there are much better 'dark fantasy' films than this. Brothers Grimm: ok, watchable but certainly not unmissable.

6/10

King Kong (Jackson Remake)

Wow. What can I say...as a kid I loved the original, as an adult I love the remake just as much. I didn't find this film long winded and dull nor did I think certain scenes could have been shortened to improve the movie. I simply loved it. Effects were amazing, acting was great - I really can't think of a bad thing to say about this.

10/10


The Off Season


Hmmmm. Now this film in my huge stack of 'recently watched' I find hard to remember fully. This means one thing - unmemorable, easily forgettable...move on to the next film please!
I banged the disc back in to check the trailer as a recap...this low budget movie is not one of the better ghost stories I have watched, effects were less than average, plot wasn't great and the acting was less than average being polite.

Off Season - not the worst I've seen - 5/10


The Woodsman

Why did I buy this movie? Why Did I not turn the movie off sooner? Why have I not listed it on ebay? Why review it?...basically to try and help you avoid the mistake I made when thinking...hmmm that sounds an interesting role for Mr Bacon - I'll check that out. Big Mistake! Possibly one of the most boring, pointless movies I have seen in years. Kevin Bacon plays the role of a paedophile who is being released back into society - this film I assume was meant to at least give the viewer an option of feeling sympathy towards the main character? Well if it was, it failed miserably. Not only did I not feel sympathy I got more enraged about the issues than before the film started! This film was a total waste of my time, please don't allow it to be a waste of yours.

Woodsman 2/10 (I give it higher than 1 because it came in a nice gatefold edition sleeve).

i'm one of the few people that actually liked this film ..

i didnt make any comparrisons to the 1st - i just let it happen.

thought there were some effective sequences - the confusion over what was real and what wasnt - etc ..

passibly acted ... no signs of budget problems....good soundtrack ..

[Vodstok]

BW 2 was one of those movies where i got to the end and went "Oh PLease...." But was surprised that it wasnt nearly as bad as i thought it would be. Definately something i would watch if the wife and i were hanging out, getting blitzed and eating junk food.

vod - given your 'particular tastes' i suggest you check out 'Bare Wench'

its a spoof featuring a bunch of no talent big titted models.

i bought it in a bargain bin thinking it was going to be a comedy - it was really a big tit nudie flick.

[PeaSoupintheye]

Mountain Top Motel Massacre

I was in the mood for an old skool 80's slasher and picked up the first I could find in my crate of new movies. MTMM lol well, it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's your typical drive in slasher movie - nothing new...some decent gore...but nothing new.

Fun...6/10



Dead Calm


What more can I say about this classic thriller that hasn't already been said? Good Suspense, excellent acting performances and your classic thrilling 'he's not dead yet' endings!!! class

8/10



Exquisite Tenderness


Like so many overly done horror movies set in a psycho hospital I tentatively placed this into my DVD player. The film stars Malcom (clockwork Orange) McDowell which is what grabbed my immidiate attention...ok so, the movie is successfully creepy, it has some fantastic kills....
SPOILER (check out the syringe in the eye - woohoo)
But - it does have major lulls in the film where nothing much happens but that aside I found it an entertaining ride and being a sucker for 'good deaths' I gotta give this

7/10


Suspicious River

Another from the bottom of my 'new movies to watch' crate - this was originally purchased for £2 from a Music Zone 'bargain bucket'. To be honest I could have left it there as I wouldnt have missed too much. The story has been done to death (bored housewife seeks extra marital attention, goes working in a motel doubling up as a lady of the night for certain customers) Obviously she comes unstuck (excuse the potential pun) when she is brutally attacked and raped by one of the motel guests. Here is where I expected the deranged woman hellbent on revenge - alas no (there are no I spit on Your grave revenge killings) it just meanders on into her dull everyday existence - making what was a very slow paced drama...into a longer slower paced drama.

Suspicious River, nothing new, great or even exciting - just a dull drama with a bit of sex.

5/10


Don't go Into the Attic (Devils Harvest)

This low budget ghost/satanic flick although slow in parts was not too bad at all. Creepy in parts this is by no way a scary film more of a slow Sunday afternoon creep flick lol.

Not great but not terrible either

6/10

oh, its definately worth a watch vod (i caught it late night on hbo when i was in college). basically a soft-core porn w/ the girls showing their big fake tits at every chance. the writers (if there were any) probably cranked out this gem in an hour. the dialogue goes something like, "boy its hot out here, i better take all my clothes off" and "boy its scary out here, i better take all my clothes off and investigate" and "your my best friend so we better take all our clothes off and have hot lesbian sex." its pretty f-ing hilarious and in the end you'll just want to watch a real porn film.

cemetary gates

i think someone else mentioned they had recently seen this movie b/c one of the crew from dog soldiers was connected and this is why i gave it a chance. if anything i thought it would be good campy fun.... shit, was i wrong. i can't say how much i'm sick of the stereotypical teen cast: stoner, nice guy, jock, slut, smart sexy girl, etc. if writers have to keep pumping out this crap they could at least put in someone out of the ordinary, like a crackhead transvestite or something. the only thing i liked about this movie was the of the horrendous dialogue b/twn the stoners and the slut and also the scene where the hippie, smoking peyote hallucinates the creature as a cartoon. other than that the death scenes were laughable, the plot was paper thin, and the creature!!! that was the most enjoyable part of the film for me; seeing a guy run around on all fours in a bear costume w/ a huge-genetically mutated tasmanian devil mask was hysterical. needless to say the movie was an hour and a half, i finished it in 45 mins. not even reggie banister could save this movie.

[Vodstok]

Not to mention the "martial art" fights. Laaaaaame.

"Look at me. I´m a ninja, so i can fly!!" Please...


But the standard for Ninja movies in the 80s was pretty low (not that i can think of any ninja movies after the 80s), which made the "American ninja" trilogy look like a fucking masterpiece.

And when you see them now you just go, "Why?? Why did i like that crap???".

Now, when i think about that movie i can´t help thinking, how far out it is that Dudikoff manage to survive in the Louisiana swamps battling several hunters. I mean, the dude can´t fight!!!

no hating on avening force......i won't have it

On Demand offers so many free movies but really I don't HAVE to watch them. When will I learn?

Jury Duty

[heebiejeebies]

Serenity. I never saw Firefly, and this movie makes me want to dig up the old episodes. I know it was cancelled, but I'm sure if it's worth anything there's a boxed set.

[The_Return]

While I was away there was alot more to do than I was expecting, so I only watched 2 movies, Dead Birds and Dreamscape. Second time for each.

Dead Birds - Im not as fond of it as some members here, but I do quite like it. Smart, serious and even pretty creepy in parts...one of the better horror efforts of recent years.


Dreamscape - To be honest I didnt watch all of this one (was watching it in the car, gave me a crazy headache...I never learn). Anyway, it's still a damn cool movie. Well acted, great plot, really cool design/feel to the film...I love it.

Yeah, the lazerbeam was pretty pitiful.
Seing ninja die is fun though...

My favorite Ninja movies of the 80's were Enter the Ninja, Return of the Ninja, and Rage of Honor which featured Sho Kosugi. Does anyone remember these movies.

Update: I just finished watching it, and I wanted to add that I'd forgot just how damn cool the ending was. I really should watch this more often.

[alkytrio666]

Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist

I was presently surprised. A much better effort at a prequel that 'Beginning'. Besides a dew poor CGI animals, it worked very well. Just goes to show budget isn't everything.

[bwind22]

Ichi The Killer: Episode Zero

This was a pretty cool anime flick setting up the back story to the Ichi the Killer movie. It's certainly violent and perverse, but also very cool looking. I enjoyed it, but it was a little disappointing that it was only like 40 minutes long.

B


Band of Brothers

This is a great mini-series done by HBO. Superbly acted, good action & wartime violence. It's also very cool for me, personally, because my grandpa was fighting in a lot of those same places during WW2 so it was kinda neat to see what sort of stuff he went through. The part when they find the concentration camp was done extremely well and really drives home the atrociy of that whole situation. All in all, an excellent mini-series. Highly recommended.

Skinned Deep

Another low budget movie...but heck I actually really enjoyed this. Ya gotta love the dwarf dude from Willow throwing enough plates at his victims!! This kinda reminded me of a low-er budget TCM with comedy, so a pleasant surprise for me this one...

7/10


Hills Have Eyes (Remake)

This down 'n' dirty movie is by far the best remake I have seen. I won't go as far as saying I prefer it to the original but I like this as much. Really creepy, some great gore and a pretty bad rape scene are just the tip of the iceberg in this baby! Definetley one of the best movies I have seen in the last couple of months.

10/10


The Changeling


I thought this quirky little ghost story was excellent. George C Scott yet again is superb - I loved him in the Exorcist III and he was just as good in this little shost story. A very atmospheric film ( reminiscent in some ways in it's atmospher to the creepy Rosemary's baby) which with no gore relies on atmosphere and tension to keep the viewer hooked. Well worth a look.

7/10



Wonderland

Val Kilmer stars in this action/gangster/shoot em up romp. Playing the part of a wild ex porn star and loosely based on fact I really enjoyed this movie. Not a bad bargain bin purchase and definetley worth taking a look

7/10


Dead Mans Shoes

This cult revenge masterpiece I found thoroughly enjoyable. Filmed in the next county from me (Yorkshire) and I'm based in Manchester it contained lots northern humour and mixed this up with some classic tense moments. I loved the scene where the group is having a smoking session and as one leaves the building sees ' the elephant man' - absolutely hilarious. Grab this classic if you can.

8.5/10

[joshaube]

Well, I'm hitting blockbuster tonight and hoping they have some sort of deal. Like, 3 older movies for a low price. They used to have that all the time.

Trying to grab some of these...

The Cell,
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), Halloween,
Session 9,
Dawn of the Dead (original),
Demons,
House,
The Wicker Man,
Pet Semetary,
Night of the Demons (1988).

TCM, Halloween, House, DotD and NotD being the most wanted for an old school horror night.

We'll see how cost effective renting three is...

The Descent

I went in expecting nothing more than the usual horror fare.

This has to be the best horror flick I have seen in awhile.
It took the time to build an actual storyline and character development.
It was scary even before the first hint of a monster showed up.


5 stars with a cherry on top.

strong female characters in a film are a nice change...especially in a horror film ..

correction .. strong well written, well acted female characters.

Taxi Driver

Love this movie - second time I have watched it this week. Watched it at work on my notebook and then tonight on my TV. A defining moment in cinema.

I expect nothing less from Neil Marshall. He is the man that brought me Spoon from Dog Soldiers, one of my all time favorite horror characters.

that was one of the better scenes in a horror movie ever .. someone actually going apeshit on the monster, knowing they'd die but attempting to inflict as much damage as they could as they're going down ... and at the bitter end : one last insult :D

Is one of those movies with a girl ninja as the main character and she has an evil spirit take over her body and then she goes on a killing spree? I remember a movie like that. I liked it back then.

It's time to bring back the ninja movies.

The movie you are thinking about is Ninja 3: The Domination. I enjoyed this movie as well, but not as good as Revenge of the Ninja. I looked on IMDB and The Return of the Ninja was just announced and Sho has a part in it. Yes, ninja movies are back.
Plot Synopsis for The Return of the Ninja : The last ninja master travels to America to find an heir to the martial arts legacy.

^^ Ninja III is a fucking great flick!

I just got thru with Shallow Ground. Pretty decent low budget gem. One of those spirits back from the dead kinda deals. Well worth your time.

A Sound Of Thunder

Movies like this are the reason that everyone shits on CGI.

To be honest it wasnt an awful film....the actors were really bad, as were the effects and the script....but it kept me entertained. The story was very good, maybe I should read the original novel sometime.

[Posher778]

The Hills Have Eyes (remake)

I liked it. The trailer scene was FREAKY and VERY intense. It was gory enough, actually somewhat sad, and I felt bad for the Ruby girl. I wish the *spoiler mild* 2 teens got to do more fighting stuff, like, turn the tables more, instead of just the other guy.* I enjoyed the fight scene in the house, and *spoiler* i'm glad the baby got out ok.* I HATED how they ended it, it was stupid. really, really, stupid. The acting was really good for all the characters, and that's always a plus in a horror movie. I still think it felt like it ended too early though.

8/10

Population 436

"A census-taker is sent to investigate why a certain small town has had the same population -- 436 residents -- for the last 100 years."

Despite the above average plot it was just an average movie, kind of boring at times when it shouldn't have been actually. It wasn't much of a horror movie, I found it more along the lines of the village.

[stygianwitch]

last night watched Immortal

[Phalanx]

Finally got around to seeing SW:Ep3.
I agree that this was better than the two preceeding it, by far.
(r2 was badass), the storyline, and the "change" and revealation that the empire was established pretty much more through corruption and lies rather than by force was interesting to see...
But in all honesty, now that I've seen all three of them, I remain unimpressed at large. The swordfighting across the board 1-3 was obviously a little better in terms of effects and coreography, the musical scoring was as always good...but up until this finished, I was hoping for a moment in any of these films that came close to the original (4-6) trilogy...and it just never happened. I can understand how some fans of 4-6 may hate the newer ones on principle, it's just like the horror purists with their rage against the remake...or at least similar...I try not to be like that in general, and I haven't been like that now...I didn't sit and compare every moment and scene of the 1-3 trilogy with the old films, I didn't think "this'll be shit" from the get-go, I gave them all a chance...and they all had cool moments, but for me, none of the newer 1-3 have evoked the same kind of "feel" as the old ones did.
...and one last thing, was I the only one that thought the lizard that obi-wan rode in the third one looked absolutely shit? Didn't much like the cyborg guy either, but at least he put up a pretty decent fight.
I'd give it 6/10.
