I was more creeped out when Anni was hitting on Padme than Yoda commanding the Clone army. I've seen better pickup lines being used on Dawson's Creek... Anyway, the movie wasn't as dark as I thought and the action scenes with Yoda opening a can of whoopass was worth seeing Portman and Christensen force out a romance onscreen.

i went to premiere night too (and saw it on DLP w00t!) and AoTC ruled. notice that "Around the survivors, a perimeter create!" isn't really yoda speak? in my theater everybody was like "wtf?!?" when he said that line. oh well, it didn't spoil the yoda wig out session .

it's not yoda speak because it does not follow yoda speak pattern. never before has yoda inverted sentence fragments in such a way. always before he has inverted one word suject/predicate relationships. yoda talks normal for most complex sentences. "around the survivors, a perimeter create" sounds contrived and forced. they made it yoda speak for the sake of yoda speak, not because it fits into yoda speak. there is a thread at theforce.net forum if you are interested in seeing why it isn't yodaese. just do a search to find the thread over there.

I figure that if it followed Yoda's usual pattern, it would've been: "A perimeter around the survivors create!"

What I found interesting is that, when I read the book, I got the impression that Anakin actually had feelings for Amidala. However, watching the movie, it looked more like he was just trying to get in her pants. I'm still debating whether this was a result of bad acting, or good acting...

I don't get some people. Why would you read a book before you see the movie? I actually LIKE being surprised by a movie, so that's why I don't read all of the spoliers for things.

I was equally appalled by how un-subtle Anakin was with Padme. I mean...usually, when guys talk to girls like that, it scares the heck out of them. "I've thought of you every day for 10 years" to someone you're just seeing again is stalker material.
Now...I suppose it's fairly realistic. The guy probably hasn't had much experience with the ladies. But still.... that's coming on a bit strong. It's a good thing he's good looking, because between his hitting on her and his tantrum...there are parts of the romance I just didn't see working.
But, then...I'm bitter when it comes to relationships.

I was wondering during the movie if he was going to rape her and that is what turned him to the Darkside.

Well, the boy's gone through the best years of his life in complete abstention. Gotta give him some credit for not immediately jumping on top of Padme 'n rippin' her clothes off.
