It was pretty much what I expected. Started tying up some loose ends, getting ready to tie the two sets of movies together. That's what I liked best, because I really liked the old Star Wars...mainly the first one.
"Some of it was cutsey", for the little kids. "Some of it was slightly racey", for the teenagers I guess. I admit I got sad during the "some of it that was sad" part. I laughed at it quite a bit, sometimes it seemed almost like a Star Wars spoof! At one time, Obi Wan says something like "Honestly, Anakin, you're going to be the death of me!" and I just roared.
Matthew enjoyed it, although he seemed confused at times. I'm glad I saw it on the "big screen", but I didn't like it enough to see it again.
I laughed at that part too, but how did you like the 'Jedi duel' between the Duke and Yoda? I leaned over to my daughter (the OTHER Tolkien geek in the family) and said "It's the Wizard duel from FoTR"!! And it even had Saruman (in another guise of course!)
I did enjoy it, especially seeing 'Uncle Owen' and his wife and realizing why Luke ended up where he did. And did you notice they played the 'Luke' theme from 'Star Wars' when at the moisture farm? And they also played the Darth Maul theme at one point for Anakin, then later brought in the Darth Vader theme. Can you tell I like the music?
I did enjoy it, it was so busy and exciting it was hard to see everything. I might go to see it again at the movies, but I'll definitely catch it on DVD!
