Star Wars Fever

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

Okay, so Star Wars fever is finally here. Wow! Hey, if George Lucas hadn’t ruined the first two prequel, I might be jumping up and down already (like I did when Return of the King fever hit the world!!). But to say I’m not even feeling the fever would be a lie. I do. I mean, it’s the END (or beginning, depends on which angle you’re looking at) of a more-than-twenty-years movie making!!!

But to me, the fever simmer down a bit because it’s not Star Wars that I’ve been biting-my-fingernail-in-anticipation to see. Actually, it was Kingdom of Heaven, really (come on, people! Orlando’s first leading role!!!) Ehem, yeah, he truly delivers it nicely (for a first timer). But what caught my interest by the end of the movie is Liam Neeson and Edward Norton’s performance. Truly, TRULY, magical!!! I always love Neeson’s performance in Star Wars and like it even better here. And I usually don’t go gaga over Norton’s but here, I was awestruck!

Just hope the guys in Star Wars can make me feel the same. I can’t wait to see how Ewan McGregor’s doing his Ben Kenobi thing (Christensen too young for me and I still think he’s mediocre).

Oh, can’t wait for Elizabethtown later this year. And 2006’s The Pirates of Carribean: Deadman’s Chest. Why? Obviously!!!!
