More fun than you can shake a lighsaber at...

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2005)

What do we want from this movie? Lots of lightsaber action? The mother of all duels between Anakin and Obi Wan? Jedi Slaughter? Palpatine being really, really evil? Numerous references to the other movies? Unsurpassed space battles? Yes? Then we should all be very happy indeed with 'Revenge of the Sith'. I've been waiting for over 25 years for this movie, the events in it have been hinted at and discussed for decades - and now we finally get to see them. And, man, are they good!! George Lucas has made a movie that should please everyone without a stick up their ass!! of course, there will be those who comment on the acting, the Dialogue etc - to them I say "get a life". This movie is about fast and furious storytelling, visual overload, pleasing the legions of fans and providing us with a damn good time. It succeeds at all of these admirably. The satisfaction of seeing the creation of Darth Vader is immense and anyone who has followed the series will be very happy indeed with what they get. I just want to say that I went to this movie to have a good time, and I did, along with the hundreds of others in the audience. The force is indeed with Mr Lucas on this one.
