The Palpy-Windu-Ani scene was silly.

Well, this line didn`t disturb me as much, since Emperor was an evil megalomaniac. But the delivery and context of this scene was just not right.
Who is Mumm-Ra?

I liked the way Mumm-Ra talked...
Although I always found rather corny the "Thundercaaaaaaaats Ooooooooooooooh!"
To me, although I may be biased, the "unlimited pants- sorry, power!" thing, reminded me more of Dragonball Z. Maybe Freeza or Cell.

It's dramatic but weaks every character and the most important: the conversion.
Mace-i took the cool from pulp fiction-Windu go from coolness to stupid anger.
Anakin- allready stupid- is now a jedi co-murderer no clue why. (really, there are no good reasos, i mean Good ones)
And Palpatine go from smart to allmost risk everything stupidilly.
What if anakin doesn't help him? He was pretending? he knows the stupid profecy?
What about the melting face? Extreme makeover for one!
Dooku use the lightnings a lot. Its his face allready melted? that's an insult to Christopher Lee!
I'm sorry again about my english, if anybody knows more variety of insults than idiot and stupid, i'll apreciate the help. I'm gonna need
a lot more of degradant adjetives, i think

That's like being offended that Peter Cushing is cruel and blows up planets in Star Wars, when he should be saving the galaxy like the kindly old grandfather he played in the "Dr. Who" theatrical movies in the 60's.
Sir Alec Guinness played Hitler in another movie once, did you know that?
And David Prowse played a body guard for a rich guy.
Ian McDiarmind played a butler!
Mark Hamill played a time traveler!
Carrie Fisher was a crazy homocidal ex-girlfriend to one of the Blues Brothers!
Hugh Quarshie (Capt. Panaka) played one of Connor Macleod's immortal friends in Highlander!
Liam Neeson played a war profiteering womanizer who saved some Jews during WW2!
Natalie Portman played the suicidal daughter of a hard boiled cop!
etc, etc. (and no, not all in the same movie, just pointing out some of the different characters these folks have played, most if not all before their appearances in a Star Wars movie)
Mace Windu has been the subject of lots of Pulp Fiction and Shaft jokes, but let's face it, his reputation in the movies had to be earned. This isn't the same character, folks!

Yes, sadly it's not.
It's Mace Windu, another poorly developed PT character.
Amazingly, the fans love him, why?
And there is an axplanation about the Palpy melted face? Why him and not Dooku
or even yoda, other lightning-users? (well, maybe Yoda was a hadsome tall dislexic
in th past)

And Frieza was cool, no Jedi can match his power!
I agree, another great mixture of scifi-buddism-and western (the duels)
Dragon ball Z it's great!
