I just came from the local THX cinema. They're showing it this midnight there and tickets start selling at 10PM. I know where I'll be 12 hrs from now...

There are possibly some very minor spoilers from a Philippine Daily's columnist on this link. This is an early review from someone who viewed Episode II a week ago; for anyone who's interested.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-15-2002, 03:54 AM

Thanks for the link; it was an interesting review!

***Earniel*** · 05-15-2002, 12:32 PM

Don't tempt me... I try to avoid reviews because they tend to spoil things. I'll see the movie first and then come back to read it.

Arathorn · 05-15-2002, 02:53 PM

Just saw it...

WATCH IT!

*will save the nitpicking until most have seen it*
(very few to nitpick and very forgiveable,IMO)

I could have seen it about 10 hours ago now, but I didn't even though I am a big fan. It seems from what I've heard that the critics dislike it and the fans love it.

That's usually the way it goes. . .

Despite my earlier cynicism, I am afraid I have caught the 'Clone fever' and am now very excited to see it. Too bad I'll have to wait a long time as I've no time to see it right now. . .

Renille · 05-15-2002, 11:10 PM

What IS it with me and not being able to see movies that I want to see??? I'll be gone ALL weekend, be too busy the next week, and...oh. Well, I might be able to see it the weekend of the 25-26th. But that's the weekend before finals...I don't really know. I guess I'll have to suffer. AGAIN. *pathetic little sigh* (For those who have no clue WHAT I'm talking about, I wasn't able to see FOTR until the next Saturday. Only 4 days, yes. But still, torture! I hate anticipation.

)

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-16-2002, 12:37 AM

I know how ya feel, Renille...I probably won't be able to see SW Ep. II OR Spider Man for a while. . .oh well, they'll probably run for a while *sigh*

***Earniel*** · 05-16-2002, 02:58 AM

They BETTER run for a while. Can't have movies leaving theatre before I have seen them!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-16-2002, 03:10 AM

Yeah, no kidding! Arr. I WANT TO SEE IT!!!

er, sorry. ahem.

jerseydevil · 05-16-2002, 03:16 AM

I just got back. I liked it. The dialog isn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. But I didn't really notice the dialog in EP1 until I got the DVD and tried watching it on the small screen. Overall it was good and it starts to connect things between Episode 1 and Star Wars (obviously).

Now to see it at 9:30pm tonight again and try to catch anything I might have missed.

And Yoda really isn't that bad digital The one thing - I wish they could eliminate the computer CGI of people jumping and flipping until they can get it to look good. It's a problem in Spider-man, a minor problem in LotR with Legolas and EPII has the same problem.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-16-2002, 03:18 AM

*glares at all the people who have seen it*

Lucky people.

BeardofPants · 05-16-2002, 03:41 AM

I'VE SEEN IT!!!!!!!!

YODA KICKS SERIOUS BUTT, AND IT RULES.

That is all.

Arathorn · 05-16-2002, 03:48 AM

Am running back to the theatre in 3 hrs for a 2nd and possibly 3rd viewing. Wooohooo!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-16-2002, 03:48 AM

Bah, humbug. We wantss to sssee it!!! And now I am repeating myself a lot. I still want to see it though.

BeardofPants · 05-16-2002, 03:53 AM

*Mad giggle*

It's REALLY good. I put it up there with ESB! Better than New Hope, and Return of the Jedi...

It's just so much more convoluted in plot than the earlier ones. My god! I can't wait 'til Ep 3.... Aaarrrgh....

Another 22 hours and I get to watch it again... for FREE!!!

Arathorn · 05-16-2002, 03:59 AM

Duelfest and chasefest...
(no more spoilers)

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-16-2002, 04:09 AM

Arr, you guys are driving me crazy, just makes me want to see it more. Arr.

*sulks in the corner*
