Dark Heaven!

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2005)

"Star Wars Episode 3- Revenge of the Rich" is based on how movie stars are striking back against the paparazzi. The film stars Lindsay Lohan, Tommy Lee, and Cameron Diaz. However, that is not the "Star Wars" episode I am going to review. Of course, the episode I am going to review is the final chapter of what is the most successful franchise in movie history- "Star Wars: Episode 3- Revenge of the Sith". Director George Lucas has saved the best for last! We finally learn the power of the Dark Side, which in now way is reminiscent of Halle Berry's steamy sex scene in "Monster's Ball". Speaking of monsters, viewers finally get the answer of the most asked question in film history- "What makes Anakin Skywalker transmute to the Dark Side and become Darth Vader?" I was a bit displeased with Episodes 1 & 2: "The Phantom Menace" & "Attack of the Clones", but my George I think you got it right with "Revenge of the Sith". It's a blockbuster movie extravaganza embodied with exceptional special effects, striking action scenes, and memorable characters. I have a "Sith Sense" that you will see some dead people in this episode, but I will not reveal whom. Ewan Mcgregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, and Samuel L. Jackson are more stirring here than in their trifling performances in the first 2 episodes; at least this time they do not appear to be so spaced out. However, the palpable supreme performance of Sith is Ian Mcdiarmid's brutal work as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The delightful androids of "Star Wars" (C3PO, R2D2,Yoda, and even Chewbacca) are also a continued bliss. It was even cool to see a Jar Jar Binks (who's real name is Mesa) appear. Do not panic! He only appears for a few seconds! I realize that too much "Mesa" can be annoying. Let me also point out that the biggest badass "Greengo" of "Star Wars" continues to be the little green Yoda. He rocked! However, "Star Wars" is still primarily Anakin Skywalker's tale. One of the greatest movie moments in history is when the Darth Vader armor is inserted on Anakin!!!!!! "Star Wars- Episode 3: Revenge of Sith" is interstellar cinematic heaven! ***** Excellent
