Oh My!

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

After waiting outside the theatre (on a gracefully dry day, thankfully) for 8 hours, I must say, I was not disappointed in the least. I don't know that I can say much without giving any spoilers, but I will say that fans of the classic trilogy will squeal with delight at many moments throughout the film. C-3PO is back in all his wit, or is that witlessness? One of my few critiques would be that at a particularly somber moment, 3PO chimed in with a bit of humor that was great but mis-timed. Many lines oozed with doom knowing what is to come. Since this was demonstrated in the trailer, I don't think it's a spoiler, but read cautiously - at first, when I heard how Anakin whines in the trailer, I was frustrated, "That's just like Luke," I thought. Then a smile came on my face and I said, "That's just like Luke!" We totally see how sweet and innocent looking Anakin could become the penultimate definition of evil through the course of this film. There are so many other points I could talk about, but you'll just have to see it for yourself. I am, again, tonight!
