Wow

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2005)

So there's a few moments of weak dialogue, we know what they are, and maybe the last word we hear from Darth is a bit comical, but the movie is gold and I love it and will see it many many times. It's a Star Wars movie and that's one of the highest compliments you can give to a movie. This is the closest I've ever come in a movie theatre to the magic of the original trilogy. There's raw emotion, some dazzling scenes, and an opening that's just fun. The moment of Anakin's transition is handled perfectly, it's a decision like so many that anyone makes. In a split second, he does something foolish, irrational, and he's condemned by that to a path which he can't escape. My only real wish for this movie would be an actual appearance by Qui Gonn rather than a reference to him. Well, thanks to George Lucas for great memories.
