It's hard to beat Bandai on their engineering and their detail. This kit is no exception to the rule. It's nice to have R2D2 from the first movie and BB-8 from the latest. Both are great little kits all in one box.

Being an avid collector of the second movie, I had to have the patches! The price was decent and it arrived quick. It will actually help you feel more bad-ass than you already are, haha!

This is a classic movie to the point where it has become a serious cliche. However it is well made and finely paced. The soundtrack is seriously '80s but otherwise fine. Most importantly, however, this movie paved the road for the very excellent second movie.

The effects are dated, but they work well enough for the movie because they are shot with competence and an eye towards the end result of the movie.

Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton work well together and Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast here in a rare (for him at least) villain role.

I am an avid collector of toys, particularly anything to do with the holy trilogy Star Wars. Naturally, I hold droid R2D2 in very high regards...but just because he's a hero on the silver screen doesn't guarantee that his action figure will be equally great. I am surprised to say, however, that not only am I fully impressed with Hasbro's take on R2, but I have it proudly displayed on my shelf, as well. There are so many questions I ask myself whenever reviewing a toy: Does it look good? Is it durable? Does it bear a reasonable likeness to the character after which it was designed? Little R2 passes the test with flying colors! It's definitely one of the finest toys out of the Hasbro line.

R2D2 is my favorite droid, I love this decal. It was easy to apply and looks great!

This book is the novelization of the third movie in the ALIEN franchise - ALIEN 3 (actually ALIEN CUBED). I just finished the first two books ALIEN and ALIENS and I'm just loving these books. They are bringing back so many great memories from originally watching the movies.

The book and the movie don't match up exactly, if my memory is serving me correctly. I'm actually going to have to sit down soon and watch them all again (no hardship there). It's been a few years since I watched them the last time so I want to refresh my memory.

But even if there are some differences, this is still an exciting, action-packed story and well worth reading.

And, if for some unforeseen reason you haven't watched the movies, rent them or better yet buy them for your movie library and watch these sci fi/horror classics.

Brings back fond memories of when it first hit the movie screens.

For all the flaws that the Prequels may have, they're still highly enjoyable films, with just as many memorable scenes and quotes as the Original Trilogy.  I think it's great that they're keeping the movies out there for any new generation to purchase (not that DVDs are that hard to come by of course), and really it's nice to have a convenient box set.  So it's a good deal, if, you don't have the movies already.  Otherwise, it's just another stepping stone in the journey towards the much wanted "Ultimate" box set with all six films.  We can only hope!

Here are another good couple of movies from my childhood. I hadn't even thought about them for a while, until I saw news article online that a third one is in the works "Three Men and a Bride". When I read that article, it brought back all the fun memories of these movies, and how much I liked them. I haven't seen them probably in over 10 years. I will be happy to watch them again with my family now, and relive a piece of my younger days. I am a child of the 80's, and its alway fun for me to see some those good movies that came out of that decade, especially the funny ones. For wife who is a child of the 90's, this will be her first time ever seeing them. Most of my favorite movies, she has never seen or even heard of, so they are fun to share with her. My sons will not have a clue, but maybe someday when they are old enough, they will watch some of their dad's old movies with me. My oldest (2), already likes the cartoons from those days, so maybe when he is a little older, he might like the movies too.

As big of a movie Optimus fan as I am, eventually I had to accept that only collecting the Autobots limits my collection and, well, it's just more fun to have a few bad guys. Since my favorite figures are Leader class size, it was only a matter of time before I got this guy.

The toy is very solid feeling in robot mode, I would say even more so than ROTF Leader Optimus. The torso is nice and thick, the legs have excellent articulation, and the face looks much more realistic than the first movie's Megatron toy. I really dig the feet even though the tracks aren't real. This design actually isn't supposed to match his design from the movie 100%; this figure is based on an earlier sketch/version of Megatron that was later modified to give us the movie version.

As for the cons of the robot mode, I do agree with most criticisms: the left arm looks horribly shriveled up, while his right arm is basically a huge non-articulated cannon with a flip-out sword feature. But in person this doesn't look AS bad as you might think, and if you pose Megatron the right way it doesn't look half bad; I think the skinny arm was limited because of the way it has to fold in alt mode. The head is limited in articulation, it kinda swivels in a roughly 60-degree arc. there is no waist articulation, although that is a small con for the overall figure. I am still satisfied with Megatron in robot mode as a bad guy figure. Might not feel the same way if I was a Megatron fan and collector, though.

In alt mode, the tank looks pretty cool, although it was somewhat of a letdown for me. It's not as sturdy as the robot mode, and the tracks don't function (as previously mentioned) so it rolls on small wheels that are embedded in the faux tracks. But it looks pretty movie accurate, and I know some people have complained that you can see Megatrons face in plain sight at the front of the tank, but if you watch ROTF and hit pause when he transforms into the tank, you can clearly see that his face DOES poke out, so I think it was by design (it doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to just push his head into his torso either). Proof: [...]

Overall I am satisfied with this figure as a Megatron matching in size and detail to my collection of Leader class TF figures, and given current prices for a MISB Megatron, I'd say find a used from an adult collector on eBay. Get one!

At the end of the trilogy, here the Rebellion faces a new Death Star (not very original....yawn) and the Empire are ready for domination. The rescue for Han Solo is really exciting, perhaps the best part of the movie. Jabba is impresive, and thankfully a puppet, not Comp. generated like in Ep 1, although that technology thankfully wasn't in the 80's , i know.
The battle wages them into the Forest moon of Endor. There, they meet the Ewoks. Fun, cute, and annoying. A bit too yub-yub.
The Empereor is hilarious and so bitterly evil. Always overconfident. Darth Vader never looked more dark and frightening. The spacebattle is very actionpacked, and exciting, yet flawed a few times-watch for the silly mistakes.
So, good...not great. Great acting again...and as always , C3P0 is so useless.....and hilarious.

A little something that takes you back in time when the first movie came out.

I did enjoy this movie.  I may be the only person who enjoyed the first a little more but I did enjoy this one.  Being a fan I was pumped to see this.  I even read a book based on the movie beforehand.  The movie is faster paced than the first one but the simplistic nature of the first one really intrigued me.

What I did like about this is the action scenes, a definite upgrade from the first, secondly, the characters (except for Hayden Christensen) really matured with this movie.  I loved Liam Neeson in the first but the others made up for the loss.  The inclusion of shots like the Death Star and Count Dooku really made this special.

The DVD itself is a definite must have.  A busy commentary track, deleted scenes just for this release and plenty of featurettes for your liking.

Definite Must Have.

This is a great two pack. Perfect for army-building, I am glad Hasbro paired up a nameless clone and droid, rather than one of these types of characters with a specific hero or villian character. The clone is a brand new sculpt with two points of articulation (one in each arm). That is saying a lot for this line, as Hasbro given the majority of figures no articulation or a rotating hand at best. This follows in line with the Chewbacca and Storm Trooper that also debuted in 2009. The Dwarf Spider Droid is a welcome addition to your Galactic Heroes Seperatist army. Though, it is smaller than the scale used for battle droids, super battle droids, and destroyer droids; the figure should fit nicely in battle behind General Grievious. The spider droid uses an entirely new mold, yet the legs feel sturdy enough that I have no worries letting my 2 year old play with this figure.

This is the sequel that the original film should have had!

This score brings back familiar themes from the first soundtrack.  For some, this might be a disappointment. Personally I like those cues in the first film, I think they are quite wonderful, and it's a pleasure to hear them again in the new film.  Nostalgic, enjoyable, and recommended.

Cool pic, liked the first one and seeing Benedict Cumberbatch as an intergalactic evil Sherlock causing trouble is interesting. 3d works really good.
