Epic movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2013)

I remember when I first watched it , the whole 6 movies in one DVD set in fact . a very long time ago in a ... never mind . anyway , I found the original trilogy to be a bit boring . but the new one really captured me , especially this epic conclusion chapter . and made me realize something : star wars is not just for "nerds" .
Well , unless you take it too seriously ... but how can you? the robots and aliens are kinda comical . the acting is very "shakespeare" like , and overdone , and even some of the effects are outdated . and what I'm trying to say is that you need to light up , and see it for what it actually is : a fantasy adventure story in a sci-fi world .
And what a world it is - George Lucas created something huge , allowing other people to expand that universe by telling their own stories in it , from video-games , comics , and TV series ... although it does sometimes create "holes" . for example : General Griveous . while he was supposed to have his first and last appearance in this movie . someone probably saw the potential in him and turned him into a big villain in the Clone Wars series . and I'm glad they did , because he is awesome . so that is forgivable . fi anything really bothered me though , it's the way too easy deaths , but that's about it ...
The whole movie is full of wisdom , and memorable quotes . some epic battles . and to be honest , I had NO IDEA originally that (SPOILER ALERT?) Anakin is about to become Darth Vader . so this whole thing came as a surprise to me . him tearing apart between the Jedi and the Sith , doing some terrible things , along with the extinction of the Jedi . and lord Sith's identify finally being revealed (though come on...we knew who he was all along) and the birth of Luke and Leia ... made this movie not only really meaningful . but really emotionally powerful as well , heck I admit , some manly tears were shed when I first watched it .
So in conclusion , I'd say that while some things in this movie are a bit outdated . it set a new standard in it's time , and to this day it remains entertaining and EPIC . if you like science fiction and adventures it's a must watch .
