Just got back from watching it. I thought it was pretty good, loved the battle scenes, the way you felt like you were in the middle of it. Didn't stay past the credits, what did I miss:facepalm
Just watched CLONE WARS (special preview).......possible spoiler

Just got home from seeing it. I had only one complaint.... the guy sleeping behind me was snoring reeeaaally loud. It was a fun movie. As cartoony it was I loved the textures of everything. the armor all looked amazing. And the eyes. especially the hutt's eyes

Nothing important. It was just a Jawa trio holding onto the LucasFilm logo, they drop it and run away.
MY REVIEW.....
the good... very nice battles and all the spaceships looked so good they looked like the live action movies!!!...
love Assajj Ventress rocked!!!!... and its STAR WARS!!!!:cheers
the bad... the opening crawl... where was it???eek::wacko that was such a let down!!! it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't see the "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away... "screen. Then they tried to do some type of Starship Troopers opening and I was saying NOOOO!!!cry:cry what are you doing to MY movie!!! :angry that took about 20 minutes to get over... next... Zero the hutt?? I have a few gay friends so I'm not even close to being homophobic but why did they make a Hutt gangster so wildly and openly gay??? that just doesn't fit in the Star wars universe. and lastly a lot of the music did not fit star wars at all...I thought the phantom menace soundtrack was out of place.. they did a cheap muzak version of the opening theme alot of weird stuff in the middle and at the end, a weird muzak ending theme... very odd ... well the verdict.....
GRADE C+++ :facepalm:rolleyes

I agree about the Hutt's voice, it's like the sought out the most unfitting and annoying voice they could find, and went with that one.:facepalm
The movie as a whole was pretty good. I can't say I was blown away, but I enjoyed it. I think what it comes down to, is that I'm getting sick of everything "clone wars" all the time. Everything is set in the time between episodes 2 and 3. I'd love to see them animate "Shadows of the Empire" between 5 & 6.

Iam sure they will get to that too, I mean where does the live tv show take place?
I for one love the clonewars cause ever sence old ben first said he was in the clone wars I have alwase wondered WTH is he talking about.
That and the CN CW and the new movie ani dosent act like a ***** like the live movies ani. I think its cause of hayden.

It was done this way by the production crew, done WITH an australian guy (i do forget his name, but they made about 17 references to him being an aussie) to add that little bit of difference to the series....
In all sense they wanted Clone Wars to have a Star Wars look and feel in one hand, and be completely different in the other... Such as is was they also really loved the Australian accent and thought that it would be cool to have the clones with one... Albeit that Tem did want to do the voiceovers from initial reports, but who knows what happened there...
Personally after watching it 2 times, i still love it and will definately see it again tomorrow i think
I do agree with the Starship Troopers intro lol
Although it did have a WWII American Radio Broadcast Service feel to it second time round...

I don't understand the complaints about Zero. Does everyone want every single Hutt to look and sound the same? Booooooring....
Maybe an openly gay, purple tattooed Basic speaking Hutt wouldn't work on Tatooine, but this was Coruscant.

Hutts are hermaphrodites aren't they so Zero/Ziro wouldn't be "gay" right?
Your right about Coruscant, it had some pretty screwed up people in the outlanders club.

It's a difference between people evaluating the movie for what it is and completely clueless critics thinking its somehow a "7th Star Wars film," which it is not. It's the intro to a new TV series.

That's it exactly...it's a really long TV show packaged as a movie.

I personally was let down quite a bit. It was fun seeing more star wars but in the end the movie was about a C. The things I liked about the movie were the scenes with the clone troopers (loved Rex's character), the battles, Obi-wans voice actor (major props on sounding like Ewan), Anakin's voice actor (so glad he sounded better than he did in the cartoon).
Asajj was fun, it was good to see her again but I would have liked to see more of her. And I did like the CG they used, it was different but I didnt mind it at all.
I think the movie would have been significantly better if there was no dialog in all honesty. I cringed inside every time Ashoka said "skyguy" or Anakin said "snips" and of course let's not forget "artooey." I understand this is a kids movie but it could have been downplayed a little bit.
Also the battle droids annoyed me. They kind of always have. Machines programmed for war would in reality not even speak to one another let alone crack jokes and act like idiots.
And as people have mentioned I was majorly let down by the absence of the crawl and classic music. I didnt mind the new music, it was neat but a lot it felt like they watched BSG and were like " hey this style of music is pretty neat lets put it in star wars." I guess a little more of the classic stuff and it would have been awesome IMO.
I'm still holding out hope for the rest of the series on TV. I guess I just wasnt feeling it this time. :facepalm I Hope this the start of a trend for Star Wars.

Just got back from the theater. I don't think is was an abomination like the critics were leading me to believe, and quite frankly I wish I didnt read the reviews before I saw it cause I spent most of the movie looking for why the critics hated it.
Personally I think the dialog was better that this in some of the prequels and the use of nick names did seem to create a connection between Anakin and his apprentice (who is basically the exact opposite of the apprentice he'll have in the Force Unleashed). My problem with the voices was this it seemed I could tell they were talking into a microphone, but I think the sound was a bit off in the theater I saw it in.
The only item I have against the film was the score. The familar mood setting music and melodies were gone, and while the score was ok, I really missed hearing the familiar sounds I fell in love with.
Oh, and whose bright idea was it to have a WWII news style naration at the begining instead of a crawl? Seriously?
Besides that, I still think the TV show will be pretty good from what I've seen so far and got motivated to incorperate star wars into halloween still. I would recommend fellow geeks to go see it, but if you know people who won't watch episode 1 again you'll want to keep them out of the theater.

Just got back. Better than I expected given many reviews, but I could have done without 1) more whacky droid antics that leaves them appearing to be no threat at all 2) stinky 3) Ziro's voice 4) the enitre idea of Anakain having a padawan (ruins, in my opinion, a lot of the angst we see in Ep III) 5) the disproportionate size of the padawan's eyes and head.
On the other hand, I loved 1) a lot of the clone fighting 2) Anakin 3) an actual sense of danger!
Not too bad. Certainly not great but much better than anticipated.
