Achaa, hisashiburi. Been busy about a lot lately, work, priorities & other stuff that requires attention. The gods were kind enough to spare some time for myself (about time!). Watched a couple of movies: Ridley Scotts Kingdom of heaven & George Lucas' Episode 3. I liked Kingdom of heaven, Scott & his team gave us their insight or a sort of "what if" about the crusades. What if there was a person that could have changed the crusades fate, but instead chosed pride & dignity. I like the effects, the way he describes the place & time, the dark ages and the way he coreographed war (Camera angles, level of gore, sounds, when to cut scenes, everything). Bloom portrayed his role well, although I believe it could have been better. I also liked his character the swordman-blacksmith-engineer-tactician type. the actors played their characters well, except for that french king guy (sorry forgot the name) So overall this movie goes in my ace list for war themed movies. On the other hand, the movie episode three: revenge of the sith is a big so-so. Lucas could have make it at least 3 hours or maybe even longer than that to explain a lot of things what happened before episode 4 but for unknown reasons, Lucas only made it at least a couple of hours & 15 minutes tops to compress everything. *Some spoiler alert* I didnt like the way he made the droids to be a bit human-like & the part where r2 outsmarted a couple of battle droids. & How Anakins transformation to evil isnt that convincing, its lame. Episode 3s is supposed to be serious & dark. For petes sake its the destruction of the galactic senate & the jedi order by the sith & most of all its anakins transition to darth vader. Kulang na kulang, there are a lot of things that he could include & explain but Lucas' didnt even bother to put it in the movie. Was it just some luck when he made episode 4-6 phenomenal? Anyway on a non-movie topic, tried to watch Encantadia again for the last time & its official, It sucks. Sayang yung kwento, sinira lang nila...
