Saving the best for last

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2005)

Firstly I've got to say the first two were disappointing, but that view is tainted by the imagery and larger than life characters of the originals (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi) I geared myself up for the sixth episode by going back and watching Phantom Menace & Attack of the Clone. The second time through was a much better experience. These two films stand alone and do a great job of foreshadowing Darth Vaders birth.
It was interesting watching the doco on Hitler: The Rise of Evil on DVD and then going to Sith. The similarities in character development are quite profound and mirror each other (I wonder George, is this where Darth was birthed?) Revenge of the Sith is a fast paced, perfectly structured, piece of cinematic history. It weaves seamlessly together with its 70s predecessors and answers all of the questions we have all been asking.
Go and see this film despite what you thought of the first two: You'll be glad you did.
Now I just need to see Romero's 'Land of the Dead' and I'll be a happy film buff.
