Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
This thread is to encapsulate opinions from people who have already seen the movie but want to comments on details that could be spoilers. If you don't want to read storyline giveaways then don't read this thread yet.
I saw it last night. Storyline, effects 8/10. Last half hour, 9/10. Pretty much all acting and dialog, 4/10.
Negatives first:
All the Anakin-Padame dialogs were stupid... as one reviewer said, there's more passion found on a Hallmark card. They didn't give very believable performances in that area IMHO. Anakin's descent and motivations for it were too quick and not well acted I don't think.
On the whole, as opposed to Phantom Menace, there was only one cheesy part I wish they'd left out and that was the Wookie Tarzan-yell moment.
Positives:
Effects rocked, last half hour was very cool.
What I don't get is the timeline from III to IV though. How old is Luke when EpIV starts? 18? If so, it took 18 years to build the Death Star? Maybe some Star Wars geek can answer that one.

I have no idea why I posted that in the Fairfax forum, other than possibly back then there wasn't much else going on in the Fairfax forum. But it is definitely off topic.

But, why was it on topic in 2005 (and remained so for FOUR years) and off topic in 2009. Seems to be the rules of the game be changin.
