Sorry... i need to explain more...
THIS IS THE ONE, this is the one we've been wating for....
All Star Wars fans will be satisfied. No more moaning. Everything that happens and has to happen is handled brilliantly and beautifully. Its so emotional... I cried at the opening sequence again... The cheer in the audience for Yoda was funny. It was excellent... Im all worked up... going to see it again in a few hours.... haha... twice in less then 24 hours...

Okay, finally got back from Revenge Of The Sith. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Episode 1-2. That having been said, I really enjoyed Episode 3. It was everything that this movie needed to be and then some. As far as I can tell, the execution held up well the whole way through. None of the problems that plagued the earlier movies are anywhere to be found here. No annoying comic relief, no forced plot or character contrivances. All the loose ends are tied up logically and transition well into A New Hope. I finally got the sense with this movie that Lucas was finally following our story guides. This is ultimately a story founded on personal and ideological rivalry. Anakin's reasons for going to the Dark Side made sense to me, as he gradually descends into darkness. Vader and Sidious have vision, also, which I think is an important quality for a good master villain to have. Ben and Anakin's falling out comes about because they have difference in vision, rather than because of plot requirement. Episode 3 is very much a character-driven story, rather than a transition piece that connects the dots. Even if you haven't seen or enjoyed the last two films, I recommend you see this. A fitting end to the series, all in all. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

This movie was awesome, absolutely fantastic. It rocked. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) There is no way I could have been disappointed. It answered all of the questions I had had for so long. This time there was plenty of emotion, emotions of all types. I ended up crying during parts of it. And Grey is right, the whys and the way they were told made sense. It was a well put together movie. The special effects were awesome and the light saber battles were cool. Lucas proved he could turn out a truly geat one again. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) So if you enjoyed any of the older Star Wars movies, you have got to see this one. It won't let you down. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Not today like Buff did, but I have got to see this one again. It was that good. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Just got back from seeing the movie and boy was it ever worth it. Didn't feel like a Star Wars movie for some reason. But I was really blown away from the opening scene (which is where I started to get the feeling) until the last scene. I loved almost every second of this film (One part with the Emperor being the only bad point).
Couple points of interest:
-Anybody notice Moff Tarkin? He's with Vader and the Emperor overseeing the construction of the Death Star.
-Anybody see George Lucas' cameo yet?

You didn't liked The Emperor? He was one of the best parts!
Lucas' cameo is just before Anakin enters the Opera House to talk to Palpatine.

Quoting myself, never a good sign but there you go. I wanted to care about Anakin Got that with RotS. Got that with RotS. Got that with RotS. I may not have bought that Anakin and Padme fell in love in Episode II, but Ep III certainly shows (at last!! 'Show, don't tell' indeed) that they are in love. The bad thing is that RotS made Episode I and II even worse, highlighting their shortcomings. The good thing is that RotS gave me everything I hoped. And more. So, ultimately, Anakin and the Republic fell not for arrogance, but for love? And not only that, Anakin himself fulfilled his own prophecy. That's not just great drama. That's classic tragedy. There much to love here. the action, the battles, the characters, a lot of thing. I slammed and slammed Christensen but he did a damn good job here (Portman is still unredeemable, though) He, McGregor and McDarmid did a terrific job. Mc Darmid espcially played a deliciously Machiavelic villain. It gave me some things to think about, too. I loved the scene with Mace Windu and Palpatine. The head of the Jedi Order prepared to surrender his principles to defeat his enemy. Would it have been worth it? A nice touch of grey in Lucas' black and white world. Another scene to think about was the one when Obi-Wan, after Anakin does his best Bush Junior impersonation, says the phrase I have below my avatar. I wonder if Lucas's Manichean universe supports such infusion of conflicting philosophy. Every duel was staged with excellence, the pace never let go and the movie had a nice rythm not unlike that of Star Wars, with some of the depth found in Empire. Plus, Steve nailed it right on the head when he said this is about the characters, unlike the Prequels' 'A to B to C' lackluster plots. It made all the difference in the world.

Don't get me wrong I loved the emperor. He just felt a little too much like a raving maniacal lunatic in one scene.

A question to those of you who have seen the movie. What did you think of the light saber battles? Did you wish at all that there had been a little more distances between the camera and the battling characters? In a way I do, because there were times I think it would have been more impressive if you could have been a little further away than closeup. I have no complaints. They were goooooooooooood, but I just think there is a chance they could have been even better at times. Any thoughts? Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I like it the way they were in the movie. Unlike the previous movies where the fights pretty much were 'let's kick the bad guy in our way', all of the fights in this one were very personal. So, the close up were more fitting.
I have a philosophical question..let's say a noble young Jedi is being tempted by the Dark Si..aw screw it, I can't resist the temptation of downloading RotS.....

Random Star Wars Tought:
"That boy is our only hope"
"No, there is another. There you were when born she was, remember do you not, idiot?"

Call me impressionible or what, but due to all the great reviews I've been hearing, looks like this particular Star Wars movie may actually not let me down. I'll go see it for sure now. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It's the first time I've heard people in my town chatter so much about a movie in a long time.

I'm going to see it again sometime this weekend. This is the first time I've ever seen a movie twice in a week in theatres.
Actually the real reason I'm going is because my dad's friend hasn't seen it yet and my dad won't go with her. So Woo Hoo! Free movie!

Hector, I get what you mean about the up close and personal light saber battles. I liked that too, but there were a few times that I wished the cameras had been back just a little further, not as far as in the other movies but just a little. I got the feeling I was missing something in a few spots. That's just me though. It didn't make me like the movie any less. I still enjoyed every minute of it and I will see it again the middle of next week. I like having a little space in between times. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Well, I finally saw it and sadly I wasn't impressed. Yes, it was a lot better than the last two, but it wasn't even close to holding the magic that the original 3 did.
That's all I'll say. Tsel
