Oooh!
Saw Episode 2 Last night with my friends Avi, Rubin, Daniel and not-roommate-Jesse.
Wow.
Was lots of fun. We analyzed the living hoohah out of the film as it was going on, and talked back to the movie, amusing those around us, and annoying a few.
I'll probably be seeing it again with Avi and his sister Merav, since they have a spare ticket, and Avi offered it to me.
and now, my analysis.
Let me just say, Yoda's duel with Dooku is worth waiting the entire film for. He's like a Jedi pinball on crack, as Avi put it.
Hayden Christiansen, as Anakin does a great job imitating Jake Loyd, the whiny kid who played Anakin in Episode One. You have to suffer through some of his scenes, but the rest of the cast carries him well enough.
Natalie Portman was, as usual, amazing, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous, especially with some of the outfits they had her wearing. (mmm... black corset)
Samuel Jackson worked well with what he was given, and had some great action scenes. Although I kept expecting him to work a "mother$&*#er" or two into his lines somewhere.
Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan is starting to resemble Alec Guiness' Obi-Wan, which was impressive.
The battle scenes put Episode 1's to shame, and the "car-chase" scene on Coruscant made up for the travesty of pod-racing.
Lots more good stuff, but I don't really remember it, so I'll have to write it after my second viewing...
