True Star Wars Bestowed!

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2005)

The Saga is (finally) complete. Every piece of the Star Wars puzzle is now in its place and the world that came to birth at the dawn of the 80s fulfilled and bestowed to its rightful place as the most enchanting, most visually pleasant story ever to be told in a movie.
The final piece is, at its debut, a bit sluggish in development and boring in action. Dialogs lack feeling, words are mostly spoken just to fill up space, lots of funny/clumsy stuff going on (I think Lucas incorporated it just to please the kids...enough Harry Potter, here's Star Wars *lightsaber igniting*). But as it progresses and the viewer gets more and more into the atmosphere of it, everything begins to change. Characters define themselves, action becomes more intense, grabbing you without the slightest impression of ever letting go, congregating, with what seems as light speed, to the ultimate, painful, emotionally scarring final moment: an event that we know will inevitably happen, but none want to.
The script, although written "along the way" by G. Lucas, is probably the best one of all the new series of Star Wars. Visuals (as always) are breath-taking. Even though people may think that nothing could impress them as much as the early trilogy did, Revenge of the Sith comes to disapprove. The series is ahead of its time, as with the other two, Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. I really wonder how many movies had 50 minutes worth of an animated character on screen in 1999. Star Wars beats every movie that's in the same time group as it, in terms of special effects.
The drama, the implacable destiny that ensnares "the boy we hardly know" in Episode I, the destruction of his ideals and the birth of his, all-too-well-known new identity is what we've all been waiting for to see completed in a fancy, Star Wars-ian kind of way that Lucas promised to us for so long. And you will NOT be disappointed. Lucas knew what he was doing with his final masterpiece of the series. Go out NOW and see this movie. And after you do, I challenge you to prove me wrong. 10 minutes after you see it, provided that you are a true fan of the series, only one word will come out your mouth: "Genius".
