Clone Wars!!!!
Just saw Clone Wars, finally. LOVED IT. Now this is what a Star Wars movie should be: lots of action, just-barely-developed-enough-to-be-tolerable characters, at least minimally passable acting, lots of yay neato sci-fi space opera stuff, and lots of nifty Jedi Force-fueled shenanigans.
Granted, as with previous prequel films, the villainous "plot" was poorly thought out, and the military "strategy" employed by Anakin and others made no sense. I.E. the opening scene of the film. Unless I missed something, Anakin and Obi-Wan's BRILLIANT STRATEGY was to... attack the droids... and then attack the droids some more. Uh, that is not "strategy."
Anyway, things about the movie that rocked:
Ahsoka!!!
Ahsoka's backhanded lightsaber grip!!!
That vertical battle on Teth! Freakin' awesome! Reminded me Dead Fantasy II.
Badass Ventress was badass.
Cute baby Hutt was cute.
Non-wooden Anakin was non-wooden.
Rocking score by not-John-Williams was rocking.
Gay Hutt was... purple? Okay, seriously? There was a flaming homosexual Hutt with a lisp, a nasal effete Southern drawl, a feathered headpiece, and a purple body?!
Seriously?!
Oh, Lucas. That's almost as bad the Gungans.
Unrelated: I really really really need to catch up on the Expanded Universe again. Tahiri grew up to be a badass?! Freakin' Tahiri?! Awesome!
