Sith comparable to Empire

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2005)

Lucas finally managed to pull it off. A week ago I was privileged enough to see a screening of Revenge of the Sith.
The movie blew me away. The opening sequence is stunning. Lucas drops us right in the midst of a space battle. The images feel very "real" although you realize its just CGI you're looking at.
I had very high expectations of this movie, and these expectations came true and more...
This movie feels like the old movies and is far more darker than than the previous two EP's, as it should off course. All the acting is top notch with the outstanding Senator Palpatine on top of that. This is in fact The Emperor's movie. This is evil at its purest. The change from Palpatine to Emperor and from Anakin to Vader gives us some really scary images. This surprised me, because the previous episodes where very viewer friendly.
I would have given this movie a "10" where it not for the mushy Decalogue between Padme and Anakin. This is however the only negative point I could find in this movie.
Together with Empire strikes back this movie will stand as one of the best STar Wars movies. You have to see it at least 5 times on a big screen to take it all in.
All I can say is, enjoy watching the movie the coming weeks.
