    I definitely think they're good either way, don't get me wrong, great to sit down of an evening and watch with *alcoholic beverages* and peanuts lol, BUT if you know the books inside out, you should know which one is better


    The books are unbeatable, period. But they offer different things.


    BTW - rewatched Matrix Reloaded the other day. I think this film gets an unfair kicking. I love it.

    Agreed. Matrix was a hard film to follow up, but Reloaded is hardly poor

    Revolution...hmmm...lol

    I liked the battle bit at the end. Ok, the rest of it kinda sucked but y'know, can't have it all lol...
  6. Anyone who likes Star Wars? I love Revenge of the Sith

    Used to be obsessed, still love it. I am much more for the first 3 films, the "first" trilogy didn't have that something - far too many effects for my liking. RotS is the best of that though.

    My favourite is Empire Strikes Back

    The first trilogy seems to be about Luke. The Phantom Menace's main character is for me Obi-Wan. In the Clone Wars it starts to be about Ani and Padme and when you watch Revenge, you get that it's whole about Darth Vader. IMHO

    Sorry, Yuri....Revenge was the best of the most recent three, but can't even compare to the original trilogy.

    The original series was meant to be Luke helping Anakin retrieve redemption (by one hell of a long route lol), whilst the "first" series is how Anakin fell from grace (from what I remember reading lol...).

    Essentially, the whole thing was about how Anakin was mistaken for "the chosen one", get depressed when it turned out he wasn't, gets pissed, goes on the rampage, Luke comes along, finds out its him, sorts the place out, everything's hunkydory

    (My god I sound ridiculously geeky lol...but fuck it! )

    (If you're able to get hold of some of the many books that are set after the films, it's even better - the "Expanded Universe", I think it's termed)
