Highly enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2005)

I saw ROTS at a private screening two days before release (it helps to have a relation managing the local cinema) but have refrained to comment until after a second viewing. The film is everything you could expect from a Star Wars movie, good and bad. The poor dialogue and some acting performances have been highlighted by many but remember Mark Hamill is no Oscar winner. Sure the film is slightly spoilt by the thickly smeared CGI and Lucas plays on our fond memories of the original trilogy with old characters and musical score but on a whole the film succeeds. See ROTS with no major expectations other than to be entertained for over two hours, it has it's faults but if you like Sci-fi then you're in for a treat. Not the best SW but one of the most enjoyable films in recent years.
