Gimme a break man...its not the greatest Movie ever made...i know that...just mentioned it to make an example...ok i change it to Gladiator....and Jurassic Park 1.

Hahaha, I know dude I was just jokin'. But still, that movie was horrible you have to admit.

That CG scorpion king towards the end was disgusting....all CGI Scenes where bad...even thought i bought the disc, at the time i only had 3-4 dvds and i added them to my collection...and i dont know how to remove it from my highest rated dvd;s. Anyway...it was a bad sequel.

Yeah I've been liquidating my older DVDs too. The ones I bought just because they were new and had special effects. I've come to hate them now. Anyways, we're way off topic, just await John's comments to your original message. I know I will.

John,


I guess I need to keep my eyes open, and watch where I'm going... I walked right into that one!! :D Oh well. I just meant in the context of evaluating the quality, or comparison of the quality between a DD 5.1 track, and DTS. Yes, listening to a movie might get boring after a while. ;). I think you're right though... movies like "Wing Commander" might be better off not watched altogether. I was going to say that it might fit into your catagory of "listening" to the movie, but the dialogue was so horrible, that it doesn't even merit that!... though, I really only went to that movie for the "Episode 1" trailer.;)

Josh,

You got suckered twice with "Wing Commander". One, you saw that movie. Two, you saw a cool trailer for a movie that people wound up hating. :D

Eddie

Eddie,

Granted, it was evident that "Wing Commander" was going to suck major eggs, but how could any of us have known that "Episode 1" was going to suck?! Maybe we should have "used the Force"? ;). Besides, I've never attempted to hide my geek streak! "The geek is strong with me"! ;)

C'mon now Eddie, we all know the geek within you is just crying to get out! Don't fight it man! Give in to the dark side! We know that when you're not reviewing, you're competing with Tim to see whom can recite more Star Wars lines verbatim! :D

At least now we're prepared for the possibility of a huge rotten egg awaiting us on May 19th. Not likely, since we were so desensitized after Episode 1 hitting such a low with "Jar-Jar Binks".


- Josh :D

Actually, I didn't mind "Episode 1" that much. On the other hand, "Episode 2" was terrible--I really don't understand its appeal to so many people.

Episode II was OK. I liked the Yoda 'saber fight'. The Jango Fet/Obi-wan asteroid fight was/is cool, especially the CG, and audio. I liked the clone vs. the droid fights, with the laser lights bouncing off of the dust cloud from the giant ship hitting the ground. Then there's the fact that it was shot entirely digitally. I like the crisp clear look to Episode II.

But then... we also have the regrettable whiney Anikin "I slaughtered all the Sand People" speech. Followed immediately by "Amidala" comforting him for slaughtering them. Ugh.

Episode II has it's ups and downs. It's not the greatest, but it's not completely lost.
