[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Friend of mine bought me a ticket, so we saw it after college. First of all, the theater was nearly empty. No lines, no crowds. Maybe thirty to forty people were there. Including, of course, the obligatory screeching child. This movie was...fun. I certainly wouldn't advise against seeing it. However...TPM is much, much lighter in tone than Star Wars. Compare Anakin's "Mommmmmyyyy, I want to be a Jedi" to Luke finding the burning corpses of his adoptive parents. TPM was also much faster, with a conclusion that, even for a setup, left me unsatisfied. The only real fault I would give it would be the alien voices. My (not so) witty subtitle for this movie is now "Elmo vs The Cylons." Jar Jar is even more unbearable then I had thought. Take his voice down an octave, please. The aliens running the Trade Federation sound like a bad parody of an Oriental accent. I kept expecting them to say "Ah so! Welcome to Super Cosmic Happy Fun Battleship." And the Cylons...well, wait until you hear the battle droids. Once you get past the voices, though, you should have a swell time. Amazing visuals, of course, plus some talented acting. Though I really wish McGregor had been given more to do in this one. I have a few other things to add, but they all involve plot points, so we'll save them for another thread. [/QB][/QUOTE]
