For people that say how brave Dooku was in front of Palpatine don't realize that Dooku was older and more experienced than Palpatine. I'd argue he could even go head to head with him. To Dooku they were mere partners in crime, not master and apprentice.
I always found the Cliff Booth character very interesting. The handsome, bad ass macho man who beats up the bad guys and is cool as ice, and is also seen by most of the other characters in the movie as a weirdo loser who lives in a dinky trailer with his dog, eats junk food and (allegedly) killed his wife.
I’m 52 now, I saw this at the cinema with my wife, six months after I’d lost 32 lbs and been on the dumbbells to tone and sit ups to lose the tum. Thanks Brad, clothes look great and I’ve never felt better.
@@CommanderAlpharocks I thought he weighed around 155/160 lbs since Tarantino had written in the novel that his weight was like that of a middleweight boxer, but now that I think about it, Tarantino had Tom Cruise in mind who is shorter and more in proportion to that weight.
Great Vader. Long Live The Empire It’s A Shame That “Pong Krell” Didn’t Get To Be A “Inquisitor” If He Hasn’t Been Killed By “Dogma” After He Has Revealed His Knowledge Of “The Rise Of The Empire & The Fall Of Both The Jedi Order And The Republic” To “Captain Rex, Arc Trooper Fives & Lieutenant Jesse” On “Umbara”! :-(
I love the way this Arc manages to build dread. Order 66 has always been a guillotine hanging over the heads of all TCW fans, but in a distant sense, with the only exception being the Inhibitor Chip Arc. In this intro, though, we see secondary Jedi like Plo and Aayla already in the battles we know that they die in when Order 66 comes down, so we think "Oh shit, Order 66 is, like, days away." and then we hear that Dooku is dead and Obi-Wan is hunting Grievous on Utapau, and it's like "Oh shit, Order 66 is, like, _hours_ away.", and then finally there's Ahsoka sensing a disturbance in the Force and we realize "Oh shit, Order 66 is happening NOW!". This sense of impending doom that makes us empathize with Maul of all people, where we know something terrible is about to happen, but not how it happens in this specific instance, is just a masterful use of suspense. It actually makes me think of the opening lines of Matthew Stover's phenomenal Revenge of the Sith novelization; "This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it."
To be honest I first noticed the terrible marvel cgi in the first captain America movie. I imagine since it was just a filler movie no one noticed but near the end when they’re chasing the plane in the car through the hangar it’s so bad.
