I still don't think it will get to 'Titanic' numbers.

Just imagine how far down Jane "the Hanoi Hooker" Fonda's movie will sink. ;)

I think it's been all downhill since the first Star Wars movie, which I liked best. But there's no way this could have been less than a blockbuster.

On another thread:

I just got back from the movie, and this is what I, Obi-Juan_Discussion has to say about it:

I felt a great disturbance in the FReep, as if millions of legs suddenly cried out in irritation and were suddenly pulled.

(Lucas scammed us, he scammed France, and his movie is the best thing I've seen in a long, long time.)

I think everyone needs to read this and be aware of the NewAge twist to this movie.

MOVIEGUIDE(R) Reviews: REVENGE OF THE SITH

On Thursday, the final installment of the most famous movie series of all-time storms into your local cineplex. STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH is all over television and magazines, but only MOVIEGUIDE(R) is lifting up Darth Vader's mask to see what meaning lies underneath this exciting, epic spectacle.

MOVIEGUIDE(R) sees some problems in the STAR WARS philosophy, however. Lucas understands the insidious nature of evil, but here he places it in a strong New Age pagan context. Throughout the entire STAR WARS saga, Obi-Wan and Yoda warn Anakin and Luke Skywalker to stay away from the dark side of the force, but in this final installment, Obi-Wan says that only evil people believe in absolute -- or black and white -- truths. This statement contradicts the movie's own characters, as well as what God teaches us. Thus, the new STAR WARS movie presents a confused worldview that ultimately undermines the story's moral, redemptive power."

As a tragic drama and as an exciting, epic spectacle, REVENGE OF THE SITH succeeds brilliantly... As an expression of ultimate truth, however, its success is mixed. On the positive side, there are no sex scenes, obscenities or profanities in the movie.

"Parents and teachers need to apply plenty of media wisdom if they allow their children and students to be touched by the pagan worldview in the STAR WARS saga." Media wisdom involves paying careful attention to what you're watching and dissecting its messages.

For the complete review of REVENGE OF THE SITH, and other current movies, visit www.movieguide.org.

When you need help figuring out what a movie is saying, look to the most trusted source of Christian movie analysis, MOVIEGUIDE(R).

Anyway, it's just another sci-fi movie.

I thought this movie was going to be about Subic Bay: "Revenge of the Syph."

Looks like Spidey's record is toast, I say 121 million for the weekend, 158 for the four day, possibly 44-45 million for one of those days!

I was one of 'em. It was a helluva movie. Nothing will ever match that "first love" of the original, but this came pretty close.

I'll be in the cineplex tomorrow watching this film. I don't care if George Lucas IS a creepy Marin County liberal spouting leftie propaganda. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, to see this saga brought to conclusion.

That said, I'll only see it once...then wait for the DVD.

I saw it on the way home from work. Best of the new 3, but Lucas is no romantic. That hardly matters because the biggest thing I can't get past is the digital animation. I just prefer the models and puppets. Just like the first Matrix compared to the second and 3rd. Digital is best used for cleaning up real shots and adding special effects. I really like the remastered episodes 4-6. If you are going to do CG, do it all CG like Final Fantasy. You'll never be blown away like you are by the first one being so new and out there. You have to see for closure. I plan on seeing it another time or two in the next couple weeks, and of course I will buy the 6 disk set to keep for all eternity. Well done George, it was a great ride. Random thoughts, but that's how it hit me.
