Opinions on Christopher Lee ?
 One of my fav actors . . Gotta admit . .    Two of his best roles are King Haggard ( actually a voiceover . .) in "The Last Unicorn" . . . . . and Saruman in LOTR . . Do not forget Dracula . .  Sorry , couldn't resist with the vid . . .  lol . . I think Vlad Tepes Dracul ( Vlad the Impaler   ) would be HONORED to see Lee portraying him so accurately . . . What's your opinion on the man? On a side note , are some of you familiar with the movie "End Of The World" ( 1977 ) ? In the movie the earth explodes . . .  He also played a major role in that movie , yet it is one of his less prominent ones . . Good old man. Always portraying 'evil' . . . . . while in reality he must be quite a nice guy.  What's your opinion ? |

Christopher Lee is an excellent actor (although I guess I should say was, since he's dead), and I loved his performances in the old Dracula movies, in The Man with the Golden Gun, and especially in the second and third films of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. |

Wait a minute , that's Sir Alec Guiness to you !!! He was knighted for his acting talent . . . lol The irony , since both Lee and Guiness played in the Star Wars saga . . . Although A LOT of time lay between their two roles . . .   . . even when you go by the Star Wars horology . . .  lol . On a side note , I always wondered what maybe a mix between Vlad Tepes Dracul ( Count Dracula ) and Count Dooku might look like . . . Imagine a lightsaber-swinging vampire . . . lol I suppose Christopher would have managed that too . . .   Count Dookula , maybe ?  lol Lee always played 'evil characters stemming from nobility' . . See King Haggard , Dracula , Dooku etc . . Actually I even wonder if the Star Wars makers came up with the character of 'Count Dooku' just to have a role fit for him . .

Christopher Lee's masterful portrayal of Count Dooku added so much to the already excellent Attack of the Clones. Yes, I know that critics savaged the movie, but I thought it was great despite some weak love scenes between Anakin and Padmé. |

It was even re-named 'Star Love' back then and some critics even went so far as to compare the 'love scenes' between Anakin and Padmé to Melrose Place . .  You have to watch the whole trilogy . . Then it makes sense . .  |

For the record , I always thought the characters Count Dooku and Saruman were quite similar . . .
 Just the timeline separates them . . . Star Wars is an epic battle 'good vs evil' set in a futuristic time ( space age ) while LOTR is an epic battle 'good vs evil' set in ancient times. I wrote treatises about them and even a supposed connection to our real world here. Star Wars = racist ? J. R. R. Tolkien's world a metaphor for our world ? Now , who do you think might win in a celebrity deathmatch Saruman vs Dooku ?      |
