A Great Film

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2009)

After reading all of the negative and positive reviews of ROTS I decided to put my own opinion in.
I personally felt ROTS was a truly great movie and the worse thing about the movie was you know at the end Anakin was going to become Darth Vader, from me watching this movie again was really difficult due to this fact. A lot of people have criticized the dialogue but in all truthfulness was it really that bad, was the dialogue any worse then the 3 sequels, was Hayden worse then Hamill the answer to that is no. Hayden actually represented a person who was in conflict with himself, you could feel his anger and his pain because of the woman that he loved and this is something I don't think anyone ever really felt for Mark Hamill. While his acting was OK the only thing you could ever to connect to with Luke was his fear of going over to the darkside, however a more realistic fear is loosing the woman that you love
Also all of these comments about there not being enough screen time in regards to Anakin going over to the dark side what did you want really ????
Did you want en entire file dedicated to Anakin being lured to the dark side !!!!
In the original films obi wan always said that Anakin was tricked and deceived into going over to the dark side, and that's how it happened in these 3 films. Anankin was slowly manipulated into coming over to the dark side, and lets have a look at how he did this:
1) He forced anakin to become a member of the Jedi council full knowing that they would not treat him as an equal and therefore cause him to spurn the Jedi 2) He told Anakin that he should be going on a mission and not obi wan to capture General Grivous again knowing that the council would not choose him 3) He manipulated Anakin into cutting of Dooku head 4) He tried to manipulate anakin in leaving obi wan behind in the ship after defeating Dooku 5) There was a scene where he sat down with Senator Palpatine and he told Anakin about the dark side 6) He tricked Anakin into thinking that Master Windu was attacking him not the other way around 7) Additionally there was a scene where Anakin and Palpatine are walking out the office and Anakin says your years of advice have been greatly appreciated
These are all example of being subtle and devious in how to brain wash someone, you slowly chip away at them and therefore fits well into what was said by Obi Wan in the Star Wars and Return of the Jedi
There have been so many criticisms about the acting but it was no worse then Star Wars and Co, Natalie Portman was not any worse then Carrie Ann Fisher and Ewan McGregor was in fact better then Harrison Ford (yes he was!!!!!). Harrison Fords acting never changed from one film to another but McGregor's did, Harrison was cocky and that was it. Ewan had to portray a person who in fact had to kill his brother and you could feel is pain the scene where he says 'I Have Failed You' . This was a truly well delivered speech and better then any of the other lines that Ford delivered. The acting is by no means great but then it's not supposed to be if we wanted great acting then go hire Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Tim Robins, Morgan Freeman and Christian Bale ohhh damn I forgot if you got these actors then everyone would complain saying they are to old to perform these roles or they don't look like what they though Obi Wan or Anakin should look like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and to people referring to the fact that Obi Wan defeated Anakin by taking the high ground and not understanding it, basic principle of fencing and sword fighting is if a enemy has the higher ground then they will have the advantage since they will not have the same reach as you do and will need to extend there posture to reach you therefore meaning they no longer have balance that's how obi wan defeated anakin !!!!!!!
Overall I would say this was really great film
