[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Yes and we all love it but you only get away with intricate moves if you can make it look serious and intense instead of like posing or "here, I'm giving you my hand please take it". Which is why "Crouching Tiger" works and "Karate Kid 2" doesn't. Another example: I thought Hayden Christensen looked very good in the early Dooku fight of ROTS. Tight and focused. Now, it ends in a split second with his strange reach-around wrist chopping of the Count, which is unorthodox and without precedent in earth fencing styles (since it would take too much heft with metal but is just fine with an energy blade). It's over so fast you almost don't have time to catch it the first time around, you just accept that it must've happened because the Count obviously don't have any hands anymore. When it almost can't get any suaver Anakin catches Dooku's saber with his offhand and crosses the sabers at his throat. The only way to top that would be if he'd also slashed Dooku's belt buckle and pulled down his pants. But always there's that flow, that rhythm that needs to be there. I guess 60% lies in editing and 40% in good rehearsal and chemistry. [/QB][/QUOTE]
