The Hollywood 'Mahaabaaratham' finally came to an End

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2005)

First of all I am not from America and thank God, am not a Star Wars Super Freak. This is my first comment to a Star War movie. Even though I don't like the original Star Wars movies, and hates its new prequels, I wanted to watch the 'last epic event' in theaters. This was my first Star War movie (and probably the last one) I ever watched on a theater, because I was not born on the original trilogy times and was un-attracted to the new prequels.
I was thrilled to watch the last chapter, the birth of Dark Vader (even though I don't consider him as a 'great villain of all times') and also wanted to be a part on the historical event, I went to theaters on the opening weekend. But what I got was a totally lamed nuisance.
Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith (Spoilers******)
Directed by George Lucas tells the last tale of his acclaimed Saga. This time the anticipation increases as never before because all the previous restarted movies (Episode 1 and 2), where done for this last dark chapter. It is the story of a boy called Anakin became the evil man called Darth Vader and the final transformation comes in this Episode.
Written by George Lucas himself, the story was well placed but the director in him makes it as a dreadful one. First of all the extreme violent use of his company-ILM's special effects. It was a sucking nuisance for both eyes and ears, but if he wanted to make his own Hindu Mythological 'Mahaabaaratham' who wants to stop him.
Secondly the lack of drama, emotions. The story lacks passionate, memorable scenes a last epic must definitely have. It has no intense dialogue delivery as I expected and the available ones resembles to some British theatrical dramas.
Thirdly and mostly, the lack of good action scenes. This closing chapter has no dramatic fighting scenes; all the battles presented were spoiled or reduced due to miss use of SFX team. Shame for the stunt choreographers for not bringing something great, good new sharp ideas, where as in 'Phantom Menace' the final fight between Ray Park/Darth Maul and the two Jedi was extreme and well filmed.
And last but not the least, the soul created by John Williams was maimed due to the story telling, even Anakin's final transform to Vader happened before the first half than the last five minutes, it could have been a great experience. But Lucas again accomplished his twisted vision by reducing the birth of Dark Vader in nearly the closing of movie, thereby reducing thematic diversion of the story, huh a major mistake.
Even so, we can hear acclaimed James Earl Jones's breathing sound in the final moments as the new born Darth Vader. Also Hayden Christensen rocked in the last moments as the new David Prowse/Darth Vader! even though he messed most of his part as Anakin Skywalker. The most sucking performance was from Samuel L. Jackson, what he thought of himself, he sucks the most in the whole Star War Franchise after Harrison Ford. I mean who cast him as a Jedi, he looks like a black pimp in that costume, I can't imagine a black person as a Jedi even though 'am not a racist.
Anything good in this movie was from Ewan McGregor, he finally gave his best performance for the trilogy. He reminded me Mark Hamill's portrayal of helpless Luke Skywalker. Also Ian McDiarmid did a great job as Emperor Palpatine as well as Darth Sidious even though his transformation to the Dark side didn't contemplate much as I envisioned.
All in all it's a good movie all hankered for but ends up like a sucking nuisance, harmful to both eyes and ears, better watch it in a pirated CD. "I would give this movie 1 out of 10"!
Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith = Lucas Final Twisted Vision for the BABIES.
