Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D

[vzzbux]

I think it was the enigma behind the character of Boba Fett that was the attraction. Such a brilliant visage with minimal screen time. Probably why they introduced Jango Fett because of the underuse of Boba.

Not being overly keen on phantom menace (still better than jedi though), i had no great impetus to see this. However, both my boys practically begged me to promise to take them, i guess i will.

Clones and Sith though- love them, and will be there for the 3D no matter what.

That seems fair. Heh, there's me mentioning the comics too, forgot I had the Wagner/Ezquerra/Gibson one

I'm very fond of those too, although the acting in all the prequels makes me wince.  I particularly liked the Obi-wan detective thread in Clones. You get to see what the Jedi actually did (apart from fight) and there was some great action and storyline too. I think Clones is underrated. (Sith, too, although their were pacing issues in that one.) It's a shame the Anakin/Amidala thead took things down... but I didn't dislike that as much as most people. It think it's as much about having a boylike dislike of soppy stuff than anything.

In fact, I generally prefer the stories of the prequels to the originals. Controversial I know, but I'll admit there were things the originals still did better. The acting and dialogue in the originals was better for one thing, although it was cheesy in places. It still think the main problem with the prequels was having modern actors acting in a 20s (or was it 30s) style (not to knock films of the actual period) but I can't say that for certain. (The actors are great in other things, after all.) The script certainly didn't help their delivery.

Back on topic, I'm not fussed to see these in 3D. As someone who hasn't seen much 3d (and none of the new cinematic 3D that doesn't involve different coloured lenses) I would like the experience, but I'd prefer to  take in a film that I haven't seen before. I won't say never though.

I know it's early days yet, but if any of you Southers want to meet up for the Dredd film, I'll be up for that. But that's a whole other thread...

Ugh, time-out. That should be:

"there were pacing issues".

I'm irritated when I see those two (three including 'they're') mixed up, but it's worrying how often I do that myself. I know when each should be used, but it's amazing how often my hands move faster than my mind.

i love the trailer when it says "the excitement". did i miss something? everything i see a prequel or a clone wars cartoon i spend hours daydreaming of what it could have been.

I can't wait to see some aliens with asian accents discuss interplanetary trade agreements in glorious 3D

This is the official poster.
Accidentallly deleted the full photo but this will have to do.

No expense spared I see.

[vzzbux]

I know. Very disapointing.
The woman at the stall said she had some ridiculous money offers for the poster but it had to go back with her.

Disappointing is a fitting theme for this poster.

I encourage eveyone to watch these video reviews of prequels

I am a fan of the prequels but I have to agree with most of the "Mr Plinkett" has to say!

[mogzilla]

im surprised no one has done a !NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Mangamax]

Its never ending - bad enough we're getting that, "Lion King" had folk demanding their money back because "that 3D was crap - there was nuffink comin' at'cha", but now we've had a 3D trailer for "Titanic" arrive...

Don't tell me what happens at the end...
