Great!

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2005)

Having seen Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith at midnight I can only say: Wow! I might be a Star Wars Fan and therefore a bit too positive, but I can assure you, that Lucas perfectly manages to make Anakin's turn to the dark side credible. Hayden Christensen has grown to be a much better actor than we all thought after seeing Episode II and Natalie Portman is a lot better too. Actually Ewan McGregor, whom we all knew as the best actor from the previous movies, is now a little less convincing...But the best performance was shown by Ian McDiarmid, who is wonderfully evil and tricky. There is one big thing, that I really didn't like and that made me give the movie only 9 out of 10: General Grievous! How can anyone possibly like such a character? He is so much different from any other Star Wars character! Unelegant, stupid and getting on people's nerves. (from my point of view even much more than Jar Jar Binks or Boss Nass) But apart from that I can only say: Run into the next theater and see it! The connection between the new trilogy and the old one is now perfectly balanced and credible! George, you made it! And I believe I speak for all the fans: What you can do, can no one else! The film is really not to be seen by the very little ones, because it is very gloomy and sad. The atmosphere is a bit different from the other movies. I would say it is a better atmosphere, a bit similar to The Empire strikes back! Now, leave your house and get ready to queue, because Lucas strikes back! May the force be with you. Always
