Absolutely unbelievable...

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2005)

After waiting over four hours to see Revenge of the Sith yesterday, I was justly rewarded with an emotional overload. This film is simply unbelievable; Lucas has overdone himself this time.
In writing Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare knew that by telling the audience at the beginning of his tale the END, he would bring great emotional attachment and trauma to the audience. It would actually cause the audience to enjoy the play more. They would root heartily for poor Juliet and her lover, trying to defy what they knew would happen.
Episode 3 is the same. Simply knowing what is going to happen in the end makes it all the better. However, I watched this film with a friend of mine who did NOT know the rest of the story, and even she found the film a very gratifying experience.
I don't know how to put it. Between the spectacular special effects, the impossible-to-avoid spoilers, ominous foreshadowing, fast-paced action, and brilliant plot, this film is simply an intensely wonderful experience. Gosh, this is so hard... but I don't want to spoil what happens for anyone who doesn't want to know... :) I would recommend this film to anyone and everyone. It doesn't matter whether you love science fiction/fantasy or not... you WILL enjoy this film. You'll laugh at the hysterical beginning... and be sniffing back tears of pain throughout... and holding back more tears- these joyful- at the end, while heartily giving a rousing applause.
This is a must-see. An I-must-see-this-film and afterward I-must-go-watch-Ani-die-in-number-six must-see film.
Long live Star Wars.
May the force be with you all.
