Just saw ROTS...it was okay. What struck me is that Episode II is really given over to the love story between Anakin and Padame (or whatever the f*** her name is), and in this movie, there was no apparent love there at all, except they kept saying they were in love and couldn't live without each other. But they barely touched each other and were so damn stiff....odd, really. (Hmmm, wonder if this is largely a girl's perspective.)
Thing is, I liked the huge battles of some of the other movies -- Episode II kicked ass with some fights, even the forest chase in Episode XI -- which were missing her completely. Instead we got numerous one-on-one confrontations.
And it's true -- R2D2 has the most personality in the movie! The evil Chancellor was just a little too over the top with his "YAAA HAA HAA" evil laughing and sneers...
Agree fully about the lack of romance (and I am a guy). I mean they barely kiss, hug, and just seem so blah.
And no way she was preggers with twins that big. I would assume she would look more like a beached whale. And giving birth, WTF? Legs together AND in pain. If they are so advanced they can get the kids out with her legs together, why couldn't they treat the pain of childbirth?
And Anikin's conversion to the darkside just doesn't work. Sure he might do some things to save his supposed love, but snuffing out unarmed children doesn't seem to fit. That is quite a change in such a short time.
