Well, I'm finally sitting down and writing this after I said I would do it about two weeks ago. I find that I don't want to write down my thoughts because that means it's over somehow...I feel like writing this is turning another page in my life that I want to stay stuck on forever...ok, enough of the mushy stuff, sorry.
Things I liked ...(in no particular order)
1. The opening sequence was awesome. I loved how the camera followed behind Anakin and Obi's ships, I love feeling like I'm there with them.
2. Favorite line, although I'm sure some didn't like it at all, was after the gang crashed on to Coruscant and Obi-Wan calmly fixed his hair and said, "Another happy landing." I just like that line.
3. The scene where Anakin and Obi-wan are in the elevator and start bickering about R2 and Anakin says something like, "No loose wire jokes, he's trying." That was classic Star Wars banter.
4. The lighting in the scene when Anakin is talking to Yoda in the little meditation room was perfect. It had Anakin's face in darkness except for around one of his eyes. I just thought it looked really good and was symbolic.
5. When Anakin and Padme are looking to each other from the different buildings. Perfect. Acting perfect, music perfect. It was beautiful. Most moving scene in my book.
6. Loved the Order 66 sequence. Music was awesome for that part. Favorite shot in there is one that I saw Pabawan liked too, on Mygeeto (sp?) there is a close up of the clone troopers feet running into frame and stopping, ready to shoot Ki-Adi-Mundi. Nice little shot.
7. During the Order 66 sequence it cuts to Yoda and the only thing you see is his cane drop and klunk to the ground, and then he falls to his knees in pain, and the music is swelling. It goes as my 2nd favorite shot of the movie.
8. Obi-Wan's line to Padme, "I'm so sorry." Need I say more?
9. All the dialoge between Obi and Anakin before during and after the fight was good. All of it was perfect. Especially when Anakin was burning up and screamed, "I hate you!" Wow, if you weren't already crying that would be a good time to start.
10. The Emperor going balistic...he is absolutly insane.
11. Yoda crawling through that tunnel thing out of the senate, I loved that shot!
12. Obi-Wan's pat on C3PO's shoulder.
13. The editing around Anakin being put in the suit and Padme giving birth to the twins was perfect. As Vader drew his first breath, Padme let out her last, so Vader and the twins ended up coming alive at the same time. (From a certain point of view...I know he was Vader before he got the suit, but you know...)
14. One word: Vader
15. I couldn't ask for more in the last shot. It ended up exaclty as I had imagined it. There was no better way to end the movie than with the twin suns and the binary sunset theme playing. Perfect.
Well, I hope I didn't bore you with my ramblings, make any of you angry, or make any of you frustrated with my spelling/run on sentences and typing because those are two skills that I lack. I promise to work on it over the summer...yeah, like that's gonna happen.
Stay tuned cause eventually I will post again with some of the little stupid things that I didn't like about ROTS. And believe me they are little stupid things.
