What a Movie (Contains very minor spoilers)

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2005)

Man, What a film. I went in knowing that this was gonna be the one to break the Prequel deadlock, but i didn't know it was gonna be this good. The opening of the film was just great, with ships blowing up and Star-Fighters weaving their way through tight gaps, Magnificent.
The addition of a new hyper villain General Grievous, gives this movie extra gravitas.
Christopher Lee (who's only in it briefly) gives another great performance, fresh from playing the evil Wizard Saruman on the Lord Of The Rings films.
However it is Ian McDiarmid who steals the show as the twisted Chancellor Palpatine.
I know that one scene that'll pull your heart strings is the death of the Jedi, after Palpatine orders the clones to kill them all. We already knew what was going to happen, But seeing it all play out in front of your eyes still excites.
However... the set piece of the evening is the final fight between two old friends Anakin & Obi-Wan. Where we will finally see the badly scarred Anakin be transformed into cinemas most memorable baddie... Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.
When i finally picked my jaw off the ground after this movie, all i could say was well done George. And thanks again for the greatest film saga of all time
