Finally-the one everyone's been waiting for.

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2005)

Before my account got blocked, I had written that I saw this at the midnight screening. And I'll stay as true as possible to the other comment I wrote: this movie was amazing. Months of anticipation indeed paid off. This is easily the best of the six films. It sure as hell is the best of the prequels. Pros: Special effects were great, acting was better, dialogue was better too, plot, ENDING(really great), How Palpatine manipulates Anakin. Cons: Dialogue still kinda sucked-you knooooooow what I'm talking about. It wasn't that bad, but it almost killed the scene. Acting- still not great, but indeed, as I said before, better. Hayden Christensen does a better job, especially towards the last half hour. Actually, everyone does a better acting job in the last half hour. The Obi-Wan vs. Vader duel was excellent-all other duels suck compared to this one. Except Yoda vs. Sidious- that was the 2nd best lightsaber fight in the movie, but the best when it came to using the force. Obi-Wan vs. Grievous was OK, but the end of that fight, even though I read the book, was a joke. Dooku vs. Anakin? Nice pace, but a little too short. Mace vs. Palpatine was just there for Anakin to turn to the dark, but was decent nonetheless. My favorite part of the movie was the entire last half hour-from Padme landing on Mustafar to the end credits. The music was even better in this one. Overall, my ranking of the six are 1. Revenge of the Sith 2. Return of the Jedi 3. The empire strikes back (neck and neck with episode VI) 4. A new hope 5. Attack of the clones 6. The phantom menace. I cannot wait for the DVD on November 1st. You heard it was emotional, and it's true. Padme's death was emotional, as was her funeral. When Anakin choked her, it was one of the most emotional parts of the saga, not just the movie. The most emotional part of the movie? The delivering of the twins, especially Luke. The best scene in the movie? The birth of the twins and Vader getting the suit. The best part of that scene, was the first breath in Vader's mask. Powerful stuff right there. So, in short, this movie didn't meet my expectations. It absolutely shattered them. When the 2 hours and 20 minutes were over at about 2:30 am, I was wide awake. I got home at about 3 am and had school the next day. I was tired, to say the least, but this movie was worth it. Thank you George Lucas.
