sleepymaggieSaw ROTS again. SPOILERS ahead. (I'm testing out my new Tiger lj widget.)
My favorite line happens during that 12minute lightsaber battle near the end. Anakin says something about the jedi being evil, and Obi-Wan says in response:
"Chancellor Palpatine is evil!"
Fantastic! He has this tone which cries "You are the stupidest jedi in existence."
I noticed more things I liked and disliked. Liked:
-- The symmetry of the light saber battles at the end. I like how they're intercut with each other.
-- Again the symmetry of the "medical scenes." I like how the rebuild Anakin as Padme dies.
Edit: -- The whole "Anakin turning to save Padme" is really growing on me. It seems like the crazy sort of thing he would do, given how silly (stupid) he can be. Also really like how he tries to kill Padme in the middle of telling her he turned for her and how he thinks he's responsible for her death. I just wish they'd done a bit more in the other movies to make me care emotionally about this, rather than just intellectually.
-- I also like the whole "I'm going to be emperor of the galaxy scene." It shows further how insanely immature Anakin is.
Don't Like:
-- That Padme became such a wuss since the first movie. Also she goes through the fastest pregnancy in history. (And by the end of it, when she's apparently nine months along, she's still running around without a problem)
-- Unsubtle dialogue that hits the audience over the head with things
-- Silly costumes on Padme, especially the nightgown with crazy strings of pearls on it
Something else entirely:
-- To me, it seems pretty apparent that the emperor sucks with a lightsaber. Yet somehow he managed to train Darth Maul to be a crazy dueling badass. Whatever.
Ok, just my weird musings.
