Saved the best for last

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2006)

I have to disagree on some of the comments that other IMDb users made.Did they see the same movie that everyone else saw. At the peoples choice award show this year George Lucas got the award for having the best movie of 2005.I guess all the people that enjoyed Star Wars Episode III-Revenge of the sith were nuts for picking this movie to win. However,everyone is entitled to there own opinion no matter how wrong they may be,that being said this is what I thought of Revenge of the Sith. Hayden Christensen gave a great performance as Anakin Skywalker,By the way he was in fact nominated for two different awards for Shattered Glass,He didn't win but that doesn't mean he can not act because he very much can act.You can really see how he starts to turn to the dark side,his turn to the dark-side did start in Attack of the Clones after the death of his mother.In Revenge of the Sith Senator Palpatine easily manipulates Anakin's thoughts on the Jedi,he is also afraid that he will lose his beloved Padme. Senator Palpatine basically tells him that he can help him save Padme's life.After some key scenes in the movie some of Anakin's actions do haunt him.He knows after one scene in particular that he has done the wrong thing.Senator Palpatine uses this to his advantage and Anakin is basically lost to the Jedi at this point. I thought the lightsaber battles in the movie were exceptional.The last couple of scenes in Revenge of the Sith were in my opinion very strong and emotional especially the scenes with Obi-Wan and Anakin and also the Scenes with Obi-Wan and Padme.The scenes with Anakin and Padme was also very strong.Samuel L.Jackson's role as Mace Windu was fantastic. His scenes with Anakin,Obi-Wan and (darth sidious) Senator Palpatine were exceptional.The lightsaber duel was heart-stopping.Natalie Portman is an exceptional actress George Lucas really hit the mark by casting her in this role. He also did really good by casting the rest of the actors that he did for this movie.I really do think that he saved the best for last.One can only hope that some where down the line he will think of doing episodes 7,8,and 9 which would have Han Solo and Princess Leia's children in the main plot line.I mean does anyone really think that a "new Sith Lord" would not be born just because Darth Vader died and the emperor was destroyed.I for one do not,I also say that the Jedi live on through Han Solo and princess Leia's children.I thought the plot of the movie was great.The acting was right on,the action never really stopped for a second and the story really was well put together.I just really liked the movie everything about it was great.George Lucas really hit the jackpot with this series.I hope it really didn't end with the last movie.
