The Masses are Satisfied, the Fans - Disappointed.

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2005)

Before coming to the movie theater, I decided to watch the last two episodes (Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones) to be in sync with what's going on (yes I'm a Star Wars fan-not a fanatic, but respectful of the series). When I came to the theater, I was filled with great expectations for the final episode which would end the great saga-The Revenge of the Sith. Unfortuantly, after coming out of the theater, I felt disappointed not in the movie, but in myself that I held such high expectations for the movie. I don't know why, George Lucas decided to realize this movie with a motive of satisfying the greater masses, rather than his (I would think so) own dream of making the last episode, the most emotional and memorable of all. There was a lack of building up towards the fight scenes, no emotional release during the battles (because there was no emotion-no catharsis), which I enjoyed so much earlier(Episodes 2,4,5,6).
Overall, I believe that George Lucas gave what the masses were expecting (good action, no thinking) at the cost of the true fans, who wanted to walk out of the theater and say: "Good movie, this was" I guess all there is to do is to convert to the dark side and enjoy the movie, unless Lucas saves us in the future with episodes 7,8,9...
