Marvelous

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2005)

Well, I don't usually like to take the time to comment on movies. But I must for a Star Wars film. Let's just say, Episode III gets it right, finally. As close to the originals as I think we can ever get. Although filled with some cheesy moments, like Vader's Noooo! and such, it was terrific.
Personally, I found the opening space battle to be amazing... and the acting was all around better in this film. Especially with Hayden and his chemistry with Portman. McGregor's pained face during the Mustafar duel was terrific and moving... not to mention the fighting was among the best in any Star Wars film.
We can't leave out the actor playing palpatine (Ian McCaig is it?) who does a terrific job. Although he WAS the emperor way back in ROTJ, so I expected as much.
Everything, just about, is finally explained... including the midichlorians which now make more sense. Which returns the force back to it's spiritual and mystical roots.
Personally though, even though I know it has it's flaws, it was great.
I even almost cried it was so sad at the end. Those duel tatooine suns-a-set'n.
