Don't let this title fool you. I love Star Wars. The movies are culture. Period. Amazing movies and history that has grown up. I am not such a great fan, but I really love the series. BUt as anything, you want a perfect product, and it is impossible to get it... And you have to pointout the fact that nothing is completely beautiful. George Lucas made mistakes... Some of the huge. Everyone who likes the movies will agree that the original saga is way better than the second one. Expectation made the second saga more unlikeable. Anyway, there were somethings on the Series that I think could've been avoided and shouldn't have appeared. They were unnecesary an instead of showing originality and creativity, showed other things I cannot name. This is a countdown so... lets begin:
5.- Padme Amidala's change:
On his first appearence, AMidala wasa strong woman. She was trusted by their people as queen. She projected authority and determination. Then came love. and it blew everything. She ended becoming a girl chasing a crazy man and kept crying and sobbing all the third movie. That was awful. Someone expects to see something more according to Leia's character. I mean, you have to compare them. Leia was never so sad that she cannot fight along with their companions. I hated this... a lot. How sad that she ended that bad.
4.- Darth Vader shouting "NOOOOO"
What the hell was that? Do you know a picture called "Troll 2" Do you remember a kid that shouts "oh, My Gooooood" I remembered that guy when he did that. The moment should've been more dramatic but not lame dramatic. Intensity was lost and Vader seemed like a broken man without a job. Even the Joker took it in a better way... Fortunately, Vader became the bad ass he was on later approaches.
3.- C-3PO and R2 D2's appearence on the three first chapters.
I agree that they werepopular characters on the first saga. BUt why they have to be included on this one? Maybe R2D2 was wel included... but 3PO seems so stupid. I didn't even cared that he was there. He only went to a stupid act on the battle in te Arena... that was so lame I got angry about it. Trying to be fun, Lucas? why don't you allow people that create garbage like Epic Movie and that kind of stuff do it. DO not do it on your job. You don't piss on your own floor.... right? Anyway, these two should've been taken away, instead of forcing their appearence in such nonsense way. Ah, and how they solved everything... DElete the droids memory. Duh?
2.- Hayden Chrsitensen on the end of Return of the Jedi.
Ok, this was so ridiculous I even shout it. That was so out of place... People get older!!!! who would've cared if you keep the original guy. I don't remember his name. Lucas, when something is not broken, you don't fix it! What was he thinking? That was so disrespectful for the original fans that I wanted to kick his money filled ass. In that take, he Anakin doesn't even looked as big as he was. I repeat... People get older!!!!
1.- The biggest mistake ever.
Is not the fact that he was annoying as a mosquito sound amplified, it was not the fact that he was so stupid an get away with it. It is not the inconcebible fact that he was named commander or whatever. Is not the fact that he couldn't understand him. Is not the fact that he was the responsable of giving full power to the emperor giving the iniciative for that and screwing the galaxy forever (Way to go, Padme)... Is the fact that we never saw him DEAD!!!! Jar Jar Binks is the most insultant character EVER in the history of cinema. I think that would be it.
These are the facts that I didn't like about Star Wars. Soon, I will put the things that I love. Goodie, those are the most.
The alphabetical movie Rampage
Well, I have started with my alphabetical movie rampage. First one was 2001: A space odyssey. This movie, made by Stanley Kubrick, written by Arthur C. Clarke, made on 1968, it is a piece of art. When I first saw, about 13 years ago, I was excited to see a Sci Fi movie since I was hyped by Star Wars. I was expecting battles, great characters, action... and I saw this and I got dissapointed. BUt after wathing it a couple more times later, I was completely wrong. This is Sci Fi on its purest. It is the SCIENCE that was great. Philosophical issues surrounded by human feelings on a machine. This is amazing. Considering the time, this was a very good visual movie. The history is slow but solid. We enter from the Monolith's mistery to the Starchildren mysterous meaning. HAL is such a great character that it became one of my all time characters.
The main thing that I love is the philosophical approach. It is so good paced on the meaning of evolution on the earth. We don't have a direct approach but we know that is the meaning. The movie takes us to a human approach, as they found the Monolith on the moon. Suddenly, the mission to Jupiter becomes the main issue, letting us forget but think about the meaning of it. As we return, we find out the meaning of the Monolith as we like it.
I won't keep talking since I don't want to spoil anything. Let's just say, again, that this movie represents what Sci Fi stands for. Give it a chance. It is so great.
Next on the list... 21 gramos (21 grams) by Alejandro GOnzalez IƱarritu. Good movie. :D Made by a mexican :D
HEROES!!!
I received my Season 1 of Heroes. Man I loved this series until I wasn't able to see it due to schedule conflicts. I will talk about it as soon as I finish it.
Regards everyone
