I am so proud of lucas. Yes, all the other movies were amazing, but I caught myself holding my breath a couple of times, even though I knew what was going to happen. There was just that sense of "here it comes, here it comes..." that kept me on the edge of my seat. I sat wide-eyed through 98 percent of that movie.
The opening was the best in all six movies. It didn't have that start-out-slow-then-gradually-progress plot the other movies possess. You see the main titles, you read some background info, then BAM! It hits you. It's an awesome intro to the excitement found in the rest of the movie.
Of course we would all know what the climax would be, but I had a hard time telling when exactly it would come. I probably could have figured it out if I wasn't so absorbed in the current action.
The thing that really bugged me was how easy it was for sidious to kill the jedi. Yes, he is the ultimate sith lord, but come on, man! Only kit fisto gets a crack at sidious before he kills fisto. I guess it had to happen, but i thought it was a pretty lame way of doing it.
So, overall, a really amazing movie, even though we knew what was going to take place. It made you proud to be alive during the release of the final movie.
