Darth vader says "noooooooooo!"
I was one of those fans who saw the first showing possible in my town at 12:01 am Thursday morning. I had been waiting for this movie for 27 years, and was so dissappointed. The reviewers around the country who screened the film rated very high and recommended it, so I admit I was expecting a very high standard. However, what I saw was more of the same things that movies I and II suffered from. Horrible dialouge most of the time, the storyline seemed to drag again, and the scenes with Genral Grievous were utterly dissapointing. Along with the reviews and having taped the Micro Series on Cartoon Network, I was hoping for a much different movie. I was troubled by alot of little things, like how long did Anakin lie there next to the lava after having been in a devastating fight with Obi Wan? Long enough to receive help from the Emperor clear across the galaxy? I suppose. How does Obi Wan forget who R2-D2 is in movie IV after having such a long obvious history with the droid? How do the Jedi have such great power and not know about Anakin and Padme's marriage? I could go on. Finally, does anyone else see a troubling simalrity of Darth Vader and Frankenstein? The best line Lucas could come up with once Anakin wakes up as Darth Vader is "Nooooooo!"(?) Maybe I am too harsh of a critic as I found myself saying the same thing as I left the theatre.
