'Bad Acting'? Where?? THE most emotionally charged Star Wars film.

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2005)

I really don't get how this film has "bad acting" as an overall attribute. The performances were excellent. You get a few bad lines here or there (the ridiculous "NOOOOO!!!" comes to mind), but really I thought the acting was excellent. Christiansen REALLY proves himself this time around. Even though his transition from light to dark SEEMED abrupt, you can see in his face that he knows what he's doing is wrong. He is only motivated by the hope that he can "save" his wife, who may or may not have died anyway. Anakins problem is that he reacts too quickly. Maybe Padme never would have died, who knows.
The visuals are BAR NONE, the most extravagant images seen on film. I don't know what would happen if this movie did NOT win a slew of visual effects awards. The score and sound are, well, Star Wars. There isn't much to say about those because it's a Star Wars movie. Something only needs to be said if they were any less than excellent.
Revenge of the Sith is by far the most emotionally intense Star Wars movie, and one of the most out of any film in recent memory. Anakin's transformation is heartbreaking. I wanted to scream, "Stop! Sit back and think about this for a second!" I wanted Mace Windu to say, "Yeah Anakin, Let's go take out Sidious TOGETHER!" It would have been over right then and there. I DIDN'T want Darth Vader to exist, that's how effective this movie is for creating care for the characters.
I need to see the film again to decide if it is as good as The Empire Strike Back, cause adrenaline is riding so high right now. Gone is the awkwardness of the previous 2 films, and the intensity is even better than any of the original 3. I don't know, it may very well be the best one yet, and I don't throw statements like that around lightly...
