Watched Star Wars - in an empty cinema
Yes this is another one of those StarWars related posts.. but I'm SOOOOO happpy! to be able to say that the ROTS was better than the 1st two. The absence of Jar Jar Binks probably upped my enjoyment by 90%, though he did appear in the end..
Watched it in Chadstone today, impromptu decision. They've got more than a dozen sessions daily, but was really surprised at the ahem lack of interested viewers. In PJ/KL when blockbuster movies come out there're usually queues stretching on and on and on.
Here, no queue. No need to book. Straight to the counter. Not that the mall was empty of any crowds, prob just the Aussies in their usual laid back manner aren't exactly rushing to watch the movie. Hoyts here's pretty comfy, but the absence of audience was kinda striking..certainly not what I'd expect from a StarWars screening.
Empty cinema - meaning 90%+ empty. Prob less than 20 others temaning us. The credits rolled, but the lack of atmosphere was slightly disappointing (no cheering/clapping/roaring of any sort). Its prob just me being the fanatic I am. But pai-seh to do anything le, so just sat there quietly..
Abit blah due to a dodgy audio system, for a coupla minutes in the beginning, in the very first battle/fight scenes, the system went MUTE. Wey I wait a few years for this and not for the system to go kaput!!!
Some thoughts on it:
Muchhh better than the first two (yes i know i'm repeating this).
Looks less CG than the previous 2, everything looks more realistic, not too polished a look. I really prefer this over a "plasticky" feel..
Links up well with Ep 4: A New Hope.
Some don't really understand Anakin going over to the dark side, but if referring back to the previous 2 films, he's never really been contented with the role of the Jedi in the Republic. Adding to his visions of Padme's death (Yoda's said before - always in motion is the future) so can't really say everything's because of Padme. He's not trusted by those in the council, feels betrayed by them bla bla bla
Padme and Anakin's scenes, omigosh the dialogue's still kinda cheesy.. fortunately not the central theme in this show. But found it amusing that they interpersed the PadmeAnakin scenes between one battle and the next. Switching back and forth and back again..
No JarJarBinks!!
Kashyyyk was different to what I imagined it to be. If you're an avid a fan as I am, you'd have read the novels eg the Thrawn trilogy (Heir to the Empire etc) and there's a very different Kashyyyk there. The limited few scenes of Kashyyyk in the movie showed the ground, which in all the novels is an "unknown" (think dark and mysterious) world as the Wookiees live high above the trees, without ever going to ground (in fact they've never seen the ground or what's beneath the vast trees cities/villages)
Hayden Christensen in Ep 2 so-so.. in Ep 3. wahsay.. ~* damn like him now. muahahha
Shall be watching it again soon =)
