[Spank-A-Thon]

BIG ASS SPOILER WARNING


Righty ho, now is the time to start discussing ATOC in more detail!

I didn't like all the slow mushy 'Sound of Music' stuff in the middle. It came across as cheesy and made me cringe big time!

I also didn't like how they portrayed Jango and Boba Fett - I feel like some of the mystery has gone now. Seeing a young Boba calling Jango 'Dad' just seemed.. umm, wierd! Explaining Jango cloning himself to make Boba was good and makes sense - but I didn't like seeing the human side of either character. I've always found the mystery behind the Fett character to be immensely interesting - now it's not there so much... ah well!

I'm also not too sure about the chase at the beginning of the film. Whilst it gave us a good look at Coruscant, it seemed to be too long and didn't really advance the story greatly...

I thought Christopher Lee was excellent as Dooku/Tyrannus. He proved to be a much better foe than Maul and I was relieved to see him survive the film.

I though Hayden Wotsisname did not a bad job of portraying Anakin. I liked they was his character developed through the film, displaying anger and fear as the film progessed. Very nicely done I thought.

Natalie Portman was okay I guess - nothing to write home about. If it wasn't for the fact she's an utter babe - she'd be quite forgettable!

And do I even need to mention Yoda? Yoda is the man! His fight was cooooooool! But what was better, was when afterwards he picked his stick up and hobbled off again! I nearly dried laughing!

One question though. I didn't quite catch this in the film... Who was Spihidious (the guy the clones were originally made for)?
