Simply Amazing.....

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2005)

At the end of Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader redeems himself for the horrible crimes he committed in the previous two films. In a way, Lucas himself does the same in this final installment. For all of us who endured the cinematic atrocities of Episodes I and II, we finally witness Lucas's return to what made Star Wars so great.
I will not give away any spoilers other than this MINOR one: this is NOT the kiddie friendly Disney pabulum from before. The film is dark and violent and Lucas thankfully pulls no punches. The violence is not glorified by any means -- the death and the destruction are meant to elicit revulsion, not an adrenalin rush. Even adults will find some of the imagery down right disturbing. So lazy parents looking to dump your young children off at the movie theater, you are warned.
