Finally finished watching Ep. III today.
Another great edit. The movie is now much more watchable.
I am again reminded of The New Yorker's Anthony Lane's review of RotS: superior to its two recent predecssors, "but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion".
I was surprised to see the insertion of the deleted scenes that didn't have finished fx.
The Good: I definitely liked how you down played the lame "high ground" bit, and the stupid dying of a broken heart scenario. Unfortunately it did make the whole birth scene a bit choppy, but a good trade off none the less and forgivable.
The Bad: I would have liked to see the lines "you're breaking my heart Anakin", and "Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo" gone.
The Ugly: Qui Gong - Good idea, bad in execution. Audio quality and volume was variable, spatial placement was dodgy, dialog recognizability jarring, and Yoda's final conversation -- confusing (who were they refering to finishing what they start? (Besides Luke)).
Not the highest point of the ADM edits, but still better then GL's interpretation, and that's really what counts.
Thank you very much ADM!!!!
