Spoilers.

First, though. OMG. Everyone needs to go see the Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie. It's DOMINO and WADE. But Wade's pretty.


OMG! WAYNE PYGRAM! I squealed like a fangirl. He's on the star destroyer at the end, standing there with the emporer and Vader.

The lack of women in this film? AM I LIVING IN THE 50's???? Seriously, people, the single speaking role a woman had was only to look pretty and say, "I love you, Ani. I'm pregnant with your babies, Ani. Our Love Will Survive, Ani." There is not a single moment where she wasn't All About Anakin. And that's fucking pathetic.

Padme and Anakin - every scene was written by Gail Delaney. Although, according to my roommates, it's always been this bad when it comes to their dialogue. Wow. Mr. Lucas! Stop writing shitty movies and start writing romance novels! Just remember to put one or two other women on your cast.

Furthermore, to all men who might be contemplating having children: Never tell your girlfriend/SO/wife: You being pregnant is the best thing to ever happen to me.

Ever.

Because, really, this means that Padme could've been a hooker from 42nd street.

The plot? We already know how it ends. Titanic has better dialogue.

There was lots of shiny, fights and explosions, and deaths, and three-fourths of it looked like a giant video game, sadly.

All in all, at least decent.

There are some feminists who love Star Wars for Leia, who was very instrumental and important and wonderful, and for some of the EU characters that are nifty and fun. Most of the feminist film theory I've read on SW only deals with Leia and I read some stuff on the 'net before the prequels came out on the EU. Post-prequels, I've not read much and of course the way they handled Padme is similar to how they handled Arwen in LOTR -- starting off with a tough strong lady with a good deal of power to just the prize at the end (Arwen) and the crying pregnant chick (Padme). The way sf film has been going is steadily downhill where women are concerned... Trinity was really an exception -- and even then I have to be objective and say she kinda isn't in that she got fucked in one film and killed in another.

I wasn't touching the original trio. Just this one. Hrm. I should go see F_rants, and see if they're ranting about it. If not, I will be very sad...

Mmmm, yay, I have a "what females were in the prequels" rant to come because, yes, I am peeved as hell over this. ESPECIALLY that there was apparently this AWESOME scene filmed between Padme and MON MOTHMA and some other female and they were PLOTTING THE REBELLION, omfgwtf. Dude, why cut that?! ::hates:: We know they filmed it as we have PIKTURZ.

*tries one last time before giving up and sulking*

I feel even more cheated, because one of the things I was watching WAS for the Beginning of the Rebellion.!

They should'a kept it.

Especially as they did ALL that sekrit press that Mon Mothma was in it.
