After much disappointment from me pertaining to Episodes I and II, I was so relieved that I was able to thoroughly enjoy this movie, and for the better too. This film completed it, and it did so.
It was a depressing precedence to Episode IV, but it was purposefully right. A lot of questions were answered, if not all, especially on why Anakin is infused with that dark breathing suit of his. It's also the movie where I didn't terribly criticize Hayden Christensen for a terrible performance, because in this film, he finally portrayed the Anakin Skywalker I always wanted him to be. His internal "human" struggle between the light and dark side of the force was what convinced me that he wasn't a total joke.
The conclusion made anyone who watched the original trilogy feel right at home. It was nostalgia all over again. It was a dark epic, but that didn't stop it from leaving a deepening feel-good impression on anyone.
The action scenes were nothing short of bad, at all. In fact, the light-saber fights were so fierce and fast, they literally almost gave me seizures!! And R2-D2 is bad-ass!! I recommend any Star Wars fan and non-fan alike to see this movie, because it gives everything an action fan and a Star Wars fan crave for. The tale is heightened and symphonated perfectly to the lineage of the entire saga. Yes, it's worth your money, and you'll want to see this more than once.
Lucas, you have proved your worth just for this one movie! Thank you!
