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.

See, I haven't seen the first two, so as far as I'm concerned that's all she'll ever be. I don't see anything Girl Power in her.

Which is sad since she's the only woman with a speaking role in the movie.

You hvaen't seen the first two films? I'm not suggesting that you should for entertinament value... but there are some intersting fucked up gender politics in them... She's MADLY empowered in the first film... if HORRIFICALLY acted. ::kicks natalie portman and her wardrobe::
