Makes you want to go home and watch the Original

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2005)

Watching this movie, was awesome. I didn't rate it a 10, because i reserve the 10 rating for the original Star Wars Episode 4. Which Amazingly, i would love to see remade with todays technology. Who knows maybe someday they will. Hayden was awesome in his transformation to the dark side, although i think it was a little too accelerated. I would like to have seen some other acts leading up to him killing kids. I mean you go from being a caring Jedi to a Kid killer in a few frames?? But being 33 yrs old and having seen the originals all those years back, and not having watched them again when the re-issue came out with bonus features, i now want to go rent them and watch them all. then maybe go see episode 3 again. Visually it was stunning. The lava world scenes awesome, but was a little unrealistic that they are hovering over boiling molten rock and don't even break a sweat let alone have their skin turn into welts and boils, yet the minute anakins stubs get within 2 inches of it, he bursts into flames??? OK, i know its a movie, check the mind at the door. All in all, i went with two people that aren't even star wars fans and they liked it. This movie stood on its own and was a perfect finale to an awesome Epic. Way to go George Lucas, you have redeemed yourself for episode 1 and Jar jar and Watto!
