My Favorite Movies

There is nothing like this movie. Nowhere can you find characters that you can feel for as much as these, or with a story that feels so real yet is a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The lightsaber duel is clearly dated, but there is still more emotion in it than in some later duels (i.e. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda vs. Dooku). It is always fascinating to watch the beloved characters come together, as if watching it for the first time (except a few characters, such as Yoda, who we don't meet until later episodes). While watching the closing scene, why do we find ourselves as proud as Han and Luke?

The same as A New Hope, but more. Excitement more than you could have imagined. The battle of Hoth, a sight to be remembered. And in the Bespin cloud city, drama like has never been seen before, as the heroes are betrayed and handed over to their mortal enemy, Han is taken away, and Luke discovers that his ultimate foe is also his father. Why, as Vader says the words, do we shiver to the bone?

"The Climactic Conclusion", as original advertising called it, and climactic it was. We see the brave rescue of Han Solo, and of course, the ulitmate duel. Jedi versus Sith. Father and Son. The inner struggle. Leading to the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, and restored balance. The Empire has fallen, and why do we find ourselves as excited as the rebels? Because no other film is so real, bringing us right there, to a galaxy far, far away.

Although missing the old characters and their adventures against the Empire, this movie was well done for the setting it is in. The fact that this is not the same Star Wars must be accepted in order to enjoy it. Leia, Luke, Han, and Lando are not yet born. This movie is not set in the time of the Empire and its tyrannical rulers, Palpatine and Darth Vader. Vader has not been created yet, and Palpatine is only a senator, working behind the scenes to create his Empire. This is the story of the young boy who grows up to save the galaxy, along a very strange road.
This movie also introduces to us an even more complex plot than we already knew in the original trilogy. Instead of surprising twists and turns concerning characters and their relations, there are many twists and turns concerning power, deceit, and the origins of elements from the original trilogy. To compliment it all, the story is laced with action, adventure, and many other spectacles. The podrace, a thrill for all your senses (reminiscent of the speeder bike chase from Episode VI, to a larger scale). "Duel of the Fates", a heartpounding duel. The battle of Naboo, intense, elaborate strategy.

It is extremely intriguing to watch the rise in power of the Sith. Watching the original trilogy, before the prequel trilogy even began, I could not help but wonder how it all started. It is likely the one thing that has fascinated me the most about Star Wars; the rise of the Empire and how Palpatine did it all. C-3PO's stream of puns got alittle tiresome after awhile, as well as the cheesy exchanges between Padmé and Anakin. But "Begun the Clone War has" and the battle on Geonosis makes up for some of the faults, but, unfortunately, not all.
Anakin's behaviour could be defended if you wish to believe it. Since he was too old when he began training, he had already gained feelings for Padmé that he was not taught to deal with. This is why we hear him say things like, "Now that I'm with you again I'm in agony." But Padmé has no excuse for, "I truly, deeply love you." She forgot the 'madly'. As awkward as the scene of Padmé and Anakin sitting in the field is, it did do some good. We already know that Anakin thinks Palpatine is a good man, but in this scene Anakin says that he would agree with a dictatorship, if it works. This helps show Anakin's progressive fall. In this scene Padmé also acts quite out of character, rolling around in the grass, like Leia's "Hold me."
But Star Wars is Star Wars.

Everything about this is so huge and epic. If you love large scale battles this is just the movie for you! Amazing, mind-blowing, large action. As with most sequels, it tried to out do its predecessors, but in this case it did! Some find the story confusing, and the movie too long. I admit, I was a little confused the first time I watched it, but after a second viewing I was not only impressed with the large scale action, but with the large story. It was perhaps long, but not too much to bore me. Definitely the best of the three, and the most entertaining.

After I first saw this during a Christmas break, I watched it at least once a day for the rest of the break. It is so incredibly addictive.

Revolutionary in so many ways. Amazing, one of the best. Everyone remembers what it was like the first time they saw the T-Rex step onto the road, as if it was really there.

Not as good of a story as the first, but better action.

My fave Star Trek movie and one of my fave movies. I am sure some ppl who arent even trekkies would love this movie. It has such amazing action, and great music that keeps your blood pumping. A showdown with Starfleets greatest enemy in a battle for the survival of the human race is destined to be exciting.

Some really unique fighting. You can decide for yourself whether or not you buy their explanation as to why clerics, and Preston in particular, are so unstoppable, but the fact that they gave an explanation shows a lot of respect to our intelligence. But why was Taye Diggs' character always smiling?

The more I watch this, the more I'm convinced that it's perfect.

Well, the original three are all among my favourites and all received a five from me, and although I think the fourth meets Indy standards, most of the reason the first three are among my favourites is sentimental reasons. Even though there is no reason to be nostalgic about a new movie, I guess it would only be fair to put it among the others, since it really is just as good.

No comment needed. I think everyone knows, whether they have even seen it or not, that this is amazing. With such talents brought together, there was no way around it.

From the very beginning you can tell, this is gonna be classic SG-1. A great opening scene. The alternate timeline story was pleasantly twisted and not boring, like they often are when you know from the beginning that everything is gonna turn out fine. I was quite pleased with the way things went in that area.

Lots of great scenes, and lots of appearances from long past friends and enemies. My only quibble is Jack's screen time. I was expecting to see more of him. Jack had to be in this due to his history with Baal, but he didnt get the pleasure of fighting or bickering with him again. There was also a lack of screen time between Jack and Sam. I must admit I had high expectations in this area.

But, in the end far better than The Ark of Truth, and if this was an episode of SG-1, it would be the absolute best.

Awesome! This movie makes me want to cheer! Cheer for the underdog. This has everything for the making of a fairytale. Evil witch, evil king, poor farm boy finds out he's a prince, and not a damsal in distress, but a star in distress! Even better! One of the most endearing stories I have seen in a very long time. Exciting, especially with De Niro's Captain Shakespeare, appropriately funny, and with an amazing score.
