Of course, Yoda rocked.
Is it just me, or did Anakin creep you out?

The Otaku Penguin spewed forth this undeniable truth:
I loved the whole thing
Eh, Anakin got a little old, but, generally, it was excellent.
Got a couple laughs.
When Yoda entered (if you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about), EVERYONE cheered.
When Yoda whipped it out (In the gutter your mind is, hummm?), everyone cheered LOUDER.
Let's face it. Yoda's the one we really wanted to see.
He was a badass.. Granted, as was Yoda, however I felt he was just cooler.
(Despite the saber color)
It's also made by mixing blue and red.
Of course, I have yet to see the movie, so I don't know if either of these factoids is in anyway pertinent 
Artoo is my favorite.
Best part about going to a major movie debut filled with ultra-fans is that the audience is actually quiet for most of the movie and cheers in unison when the times are right 
Amazing what you can find on the net if you look hard enough.

Densetsu had this to say about Optimus Prime:
I agree completely. This is why I like going to a movie on opening day.
Same. [ 05-19-2002: Message edited by: Vanaric Buryniksar ]
I still kept expecting "Motherfucker" to pop out of Samuel L. Jackson at any given moment =) I think the best line in the movie was, "What about Padmé?" "I think she's on top of things." =D
On a final note: If you were a bounty hunter trying to kill a Jedi... would you shoot him from the across the room, or sneak up into saber range so you can get cauterized? One would think this is a pertinent lesson in Bounty Hunter school. [ 05-19-2002: Message edited by: Piper ]

After seeing SW episode 2, Im forced to wonder how many people in the world would have liked the movie without the yoda scene
That and the Clone/Droid battle was the movies only redeeming qualities. [ 05-19-2002: Message edited by: Comrade Snoota ]
I did not expect to love Ep II. I was not dissapointed. I am glad people liked it, and I think if I watch it again I might. I am not a disappointed fanboy or anythign like that, and I'm not posting this "review" to say OMG U LIKE JARJAR AND EPS I & II U SUX00RRRRRRR
The last half hour or so was really cool. Loved Yoda, Dooku, the battles.
However.
1. The guy that played Anakin is worse than Keanu. I have never said that about an actor before. He sucked, sucked, sucked. Unfortunately, as someone who really cares about acting, that distracted me a lot. I haven't acted regularly in about six years and I think I could dredge up a better emotional range.
2. The story was explained in less detail than ever before. It was very much set up as a "we'll explain all this at some point in Ep III, just like we said we were going to explain everything in Ep I in this movie." I am not expecting a thesis on all things Star Wars, but the unanswered questions started to grate.
I just went out and got the unabridged Salvatore novelization on CD. I am going to listen to it, see if it answers any questions or fills in the story, and then I'll go see it again and try to enjoy it for what it was. An action movie with a tediously long romance subplot.

Hey, towards the end, when Janga Fett, or how ever you spell his name, gets his head cut off, and Bohba looks at his dead father's helmet...Where dose the head go?!
Anyways, I noticed this too, and also notice when his body hits the floor, he HAS NO NECK?

In the helmet.

Yah.. the helmet in all likelyhood had chin straps or something. Doesn't do you much good if you keep having to hold the damn thing on your head.
Just saw it today and I agree with the assessments of Hayden Christianson's acting. Bleah. I never really believed he was angry, hurt, truly pining or much beyond disinterestedly detatched. Of course they could have gone the "Mark Hamil, overly-hammy" route too.
