STAR WARS - EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH
As a true Star Wars fan, I saw this movie at midnight on Wednesday the 18th of May (the exact moment it was allowed to be shown here in the UK). I'll tell you: I was excited. I'd seen a lot of stuff and read loads about it, and although I was not impressed by ATTACK OF THE CLONES, I was really excited about the final chapter: everything was to link up and become answered (at last)!
So, there I was: seated in the cinema eating popcorn by the tonne. I waited excitedly for the " A long time ago in galaxy far, far away...." and wham!
STAR WARS moved across the screen and it began. I didn't move or speak the whole way through. I was amazed. STUNNED. It was awesome. But where did this "whole" new type of movie come from? It was clearly something different. It seemed fresh, new, special. I questioned myself: did George Lucas direct this? Compared to the others, it was a star system away. I like PHANTOM MENACE. I hate ATTACK OF THE CLONES. Despite how I felt about both of them, before I saw REVENGE OF THE SITH, I would of preferred the prequels to have never been created...
...After I left the cinema, everything was better. I wanted to literally kiss Mr. Lucas. He done it. He had made an excellent and spectacular film. The beginning was gripping. The ending was supreme. It's been 5 days now (since I saw it), and I honestly can't stop thinking about it. I salute him.
The acting was amazing. The CGI fitted in with the surroundings. The music was beyond good. The story was brilliant. The action was... well, the action was just a miracle in film.
...I honestly could go on for hours at how good it was. All questions were answered: nothing felt rushed: it was a dream come true.
After the previously "poor" prequels, what more could I expect other than another one? I was wrong. This movie makes everything George Lucas ever did wrong "okay" again. As the last STAR WARS film of all: he has truly outdone himself and proved himself as the original and mindful director we all believed he was.
See it now. You will not be disappointed.
Overall: *****
