Beyond brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

All righty then. I was really nervous that Revenge of the Sith would flop, like the other prequels (I personally revered them). But, I had never been blown away in intensity, compassion, romance, evil, as many words you want to use, this film, in my great opinion, has them all. I haven't cried in many movies, but Sith made me bawl. Seeing the transition of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader was just completely overwhelming. I myself when watching the original three, thought Vader was the most evil. But watching his background and he himself thinking what he was doing was right...and doing it all to save the love of his life, was just so remarkable and outstanding. Brilliant plot. It tore through you and really made you think. I had to lie down afterwards from all of the intensity and profound deepness to recap my ruminations and thoughts toward this wonderful movie. For a movie to have such a great affect on you like that is worth seeing. That is the greatest accomplishment any director should need. The performances were outstanding as well. Mr. Hayden Christensen's performance in the last prequel, Attack of the Clones, was weak...but here he catapulted into captivating the pain and suffering of Anakin Skywalker. I was blown away. Natalie Portman's passion during the film was also very remarkable. The special effects topped it off as well. You were there. You could feel everything. That is worth seeing.
