Attack Of The Bad Romance

Tonight we sat through Attack of the Clones. This will be a short post because I actually enjoyed a lot of it. Meaning the parts that weren't bland sappiness on hyper-drive. Sure people feel that way toward others sometimes, but don't dare trying to say it outright. It sounds so stupid it's almost horrifying.
So the romance, which was half the movie, at least, stunk it up big time. But the rest of it was actually fun. I particularly enjoyed the banter between Obi-wan and Anikin during the speeder chase early on and the duel between Yoda and Dooku. I also got a kick out of recognizing Christopher's Lee's voice. I couldn't help mentally superimposing Saruman's robes and beard over him a couple of times. And C-3PO was also hilarious. Wow I actually thought that movie was fun! Who am I? However, I will never sit through it again unless I can fast-forward the romance bits, which woukld make it about half as long.

Oh and Anikin bronc-riding that creature that resembled a giant tick was also funny to watch.

    What? JT enjoyed this movie? Saints be praised! There may be hope for him yet. :P I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The prequels are my favourites. I'm confused I can't remember if you said you've watched the prequels or the originals.
    I agree that the romance is a bit boring and repetitive, but Anakin is my favourite character.

    God Bless,
    Vellvin.

      Nope sorry there's no hope for me as a Star Wars fan. The fact is I apparently have seen all of them in the past. (except of of course ep.3 so far) while I was recovering from the operations a while ago, I wanted to find out what I thought I thought of Star Wars now that I can keep track of what's happening. My mom apparently put them all on our netflix list starting with the prequels. However, in consolation to you, my youngest brother, who as yet has no opinion on movies, has said w/ a straight face that Star Wars is "a good story" and that's after starting him with #1&2, which most people think are the worst...:) (yeah I know, I still can't believe my reaction was positive for once. )

      Even if there is no hope of that, at least you enjoyed the movie, which is saying a lot when other people who love the originals go bashing the prequels. Watch episode 3 next! And let me know what you think!
      Your brother is wise beyond his years. :P

    Glad you enjoyed it, and I am a little surprised. While the romance was not literally half of the movie, it just felt like it because it was done so poorly.
