Totally Redeeming

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2005)

This episode completely redeemed everything that was unsatisfactory from the first two. Darth Vader's evolution as a character is great and believable, all the cast does an outstanding job, the movie is action-packed, the soundtrack is continuous and superb, and it ties in perfectly with the originals. I can't think of a better way they could have done it. All the build up from the first two leads in well, and for once Anakin is a character that people can sympathize with, but at the same time be filled with hate. There probably is not a second of the movie where you are left to lounge back in your seat; there is always something happening. General Grevious, even though there was a lot of hype about him, and it seemed as though he might be an "evil jar-jar" and would detract from the movie, was worked into the plot well and does not take up a major portion of the movie, but just shows even better how Palpatine is influencing Anakin in a large-scale scheme. I think this one will be the one great one that people remember of the first 3 episodes, hands down.
