George Lucas proves himself

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2005)

This movie is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. I think George Lucas was saving all his creative power for this episode. The story, the cinematography, the rhythm of the scenes, the soundtrack... all just really came together and produced what I would call the perfect movie. He employed techniques I have not seen him use before, such as deeply emotional, moving scenes, and some scenes that invoked images of Ridley Scott's Gladiator, giving this futuristic world and almost Romanesque feel. The suspense building up to Anakin's conversion is a feeling that I want to experience time and time again. To be sure, I have already seen the movie three times and will return for a fourth before it leaves theaters.
