Discuss. Are there any moments that made you go "wow" in the way George wanted? There's a lot of spectacle in the PT that fails, but - at least I think - there are a few moments and images here and there that work. Where is there any world building that you liked? Interesting character designs? Scenery that was more than just a generic, panning establishment shot?

-The city of Theed. Sure, we don't see a lot of it. But what we do see of the palace is pretty ... uhm, big. I enjoyed the look of the city and the palace; it's probably the only thing that stands out in this movie design-wise. Probably helps that a lot of the stuff here came from models.
-Speaking of Naboo, I was pretty impressed by those first few invasion scenes on the prairie.

-I don't like the way the clones were handled especially... but the closing scene of this movie wherein the army is being assembled and sent off. Wow. Maybe it was the Imperial March, I dunno. But, I really felt a sense of grandeur here that much of it was missing. THIS would have made a much more striking introduction to the clone army than seeing them on Camino. If that were ever possible in some way in a fanedit, I would definitely support it.

-I got nothing. I've seen this movie twice and that was once too many times. I'm not a fan of blockbuster action films, and that's all this is - with soap opera camerawork to boot! This does a lot of that awful stuff I referred to in the opening paragraph.



I welcome debate on my claims, as well as those of others, but let's keep this from being a complete PT bashing thread.
