(Merlin) Awesome effects. Incredible visuals. Excellent fight scenes. Wicked cool villians. Could have done a lot more with the Wookies, and I felt some of the Amidala/Aniken interaction seemed forced. Overall a good tie-in between the first 3 prequels and the original 3 movies.
(Michele) This movie makes me cry more than any other movie I have ever seen! I knew what to expect, (I love Vader in all the other movies) yet I was reduced to tears at many scenes. Incredible villains, and really great tie-ins to episode IV.

Kingdom of Heaven

(Merlin) Another excellent preformance from Orlando Bloom, and cool epic from Ridley Scott. Sweeping drama set during the crusades. Super visuals, great characters (the leperous King is especially interesting), and it has Liam Neeson!

(Michele) I love epics! I wasn't sure about this one, because there seems to be alot of great ones out there, but Kingdom of Heaven didn't fail me. Very interesting character development, and of course Bloom and Neeson are superb!
