this doesn't really fit under 'top five movies', so I thought a new topic was in order.

Anyway, a new Batman is under production. Or something. Christian Bale is playing Batman, which he was pretty cool in Equilibrium in my opinion.

I god damn loved equilibrium. Bale was 1337 in that.

The film itself showed signs of cheese, but the concept was as credible as it earned merit.

Yes, that movie was quite good, although some things should have had more thought put in it.
I'm no fan of Batman though.

I saw the newest Star Wars movie tonight, and I must say that I liked it -as a non-SW-fanatic.

Now everything has been tied up. The light-sabre fights were cool, I never knew Obi-Wan was such a badass, he used to be all old and weak in the old movies. The CGi was awesome too...and nathalie portman is a hottie.

I liked the character of general grievous too...cool dude. Was he an organic being beneath his armor, or a droid?

Some very obvious political messages in there too, heh. And after seeing this movie it makes me want to be even more of a Sith...looks my my Kotor character was a true Sith...but more evil. Like I would have answered to a senate, hah!


bad points: overacting, and the usual pansy jediness. Everything leads to the dark side, jesus. "I'm making a quick stop at the toilet master" "beware padawan, mexican food leads to the dark side"

And the obligatory "nooooooo!" was a bit dorky


So, overall, good fun. 7.5-8. Oh, and R2 ROCKS. This again confirmed my trust in droids for when I take up kotor 2.

i saw it last night. pretty good.

some points though...











xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxspoilersxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



dooku does out far to cheaply inmho, up to this point he was actually my favourite evil bastard, style, charisma, etc. it really felt like they rushed that bit. (the sabre fight where idd cool though)



come to think of it the whole film felt rushed. i know they had a lot of loose ends to tie up but i would have preferred an extra half hour to do it all properly.

when mace windu and the 3 other jedi go to face siddious, the 3 'no names' go down like a sack of crap, in like the first exchanges. now i know that lucas is trying to put accross how baddass siddious is but wtf???? again, rushed.

as you said, the acting was shit at times, i was kinda hard trying not to laugh and anakins lame ass dialogue, some hard core vader fans are gonna be very pissed that he's such an idiot under the mask

grievous was indeed an alien/droid hybrid.

oh, and like you said, where do i sign up for the dark side?

blah...as i said good film but not perfect

Hehe....yeah, those jedi went down pretty goddamn fast against sidious. Not strange if he's really that badass, but the fact that Windu then on his own onwz him is a bit strange then yeah. If you can kill three jedi effortlessly with a master hanging around, you should be able to take out one sole master, methinks.

As for it being rushed...maybe. I do think that some scenes could have been made longer or more useful. Prolly shortened and will be released in SE.

The light sabre fights...I caught myself thinking 'i hope it's not over too soon" every time. So yeah, they were cool.


Dooku: can somebody explain plz...so, in episode one palpatine trains darth maul, right? Then in II he corrupts Dooku, who's powerful, bit old. Then in three he uses Dooku as a pawn to get to Anakin? Did Dooku know he was going to be "sacrificed" to turn Anakin? or was he shocked?

Please finish your discussion in a real thread.
