OT: Star Wars Episode 2...

Ragnarok · #1 May 16th, 2002, 10:34 PM

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if any of ya'll saw Episode 2 yet? I'm waiting for the crowds to die down before I got, but I thought I'd see at least if it's any good. But I've heard from some that it's really awesome, and from others that it's really cheesy, and gay, and worse the Episode 1, which is pretty bad. But if ya'll seen it let me know if it's cool/bad/ok but don't spoil nothing for me. lo

The acting is a little stiff. Blame Lucas for that. But the action kicks butt. Alot better then Ep1. I'd say between Empire and Jedi. Hey its Star Wars. We never expected oscars for acting. The special effects are amazing. Not to mention Jar Jar dies in a Slarnak Pit!

Well that's good to know... At least it's better then EP1.
NOOO!!! NOT JAR JAR!!! lol... He was sorta cool, mostly for the funny stuff he'd say every now and then. But he could still get annoying fast. But anyways, thanks for the info...

Here in the Outer Rim we won't see the movie until July.

I'd heard a lot of rumors, but nothing about JarJar's death.

Saw it Last night. Quite enjoyed it.
Must admit that I had "managed" my expectations at the pub first, so that might have something to do with it.

Its much, much better than phantom menance. Nowhere as childish. Not too much interaction from computer generated characters this time (woo woo!)
I think Lucas actually took note of alot of the criticism.

Alot of it was fairly cliche thou, especially the romance stuff which just made me laugh (and I laughed hard). I did find the idea of a cloned army of Maoris to be sufficiently frightening

(no problems there bro)

My verdict =
