Powerful It Is

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2005)

I couldn't speak for ages after the film due to the lump in my throat. What a POWERFUL film - knowing what happens just made the experience more incredible. There are not enough words to describe the feeling this film gives you. George Lucas did a fantastic job and I feel I have experienced cinema history.
I wouldn't say all the film was brilliant - as a stand alone story it was very good but because we know the after in episodes 4-6 it just brings about a feeling of hope with regret.
The acting was on par - all the main cast did an excellent job. Hayden (Anakin / Darth Vader) made me believe in his struggle with the dark side. Ewan (Obi Wan) convinced me of his turmoil.
I don't think I will watch the film again when it comes out on DVD for a long time - it is a one-off experience in terms of emotion and I'm not sure if I want to experience it again! Thank you George Lucas for your vision and extraordinary abilities in joining the films together.
