Great.........

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2006)

A fitting end to a epic franchise.
The new trilogy has been much maligned for giving more emphasis on CGI than characters,losing the SOUL of the old trilogy,headache-inducing effects and so on and so forth...To all such critics i can say only one thing - You guys are NUTS.This is Star Wars,it's supposed to be full of CGI,that's why George Lucas made the prequels after such a long gap since he wanted to show Star Wars as he really visioned it. And Episode III has truly brought forth that idea to the fore..
Unlike the first 2 movies,which i found really slow but i guess they had to be coz George was building up the characters and showing the plot twists which would set up the stage for the original trilogy(and no George,there's still no excuse for JAR JAR),this movie thrusts you straight into the action with an awe inspiring space battle with the Jedi and the Droids led by Dooku and Grievous.The battle between Anakin and Dooku is truly symbolic of the subtle difference between Anakin and Luke(in Return of the Jedi)and how Palpatine corrupts one but cannot the other(you have to really see both of them to know what i'm saying here).
The movie is briskly paced,even rushed at some scenes,but miles ahead of EP I and II.Anakin's fall to the dark side and the rise of Vader is captured with Elan and so is the brutal massacre of the Jedi by the hands of the very clones they commanded. The battle between Obi Wan-Anakin and simultaneously Palpatine-Yoda is surely something to watch.
Not only has this movie made up for the slowness,and admittedly bland experience of the earlier 2 movies,it has wound up ends perfectly for the beginning of Ep-IV(the original trilogy).
If one goes to see this movie with a negative bent of mind from the earlier movies,he/she will truly come out with a changed view.John Williams score truly is a marvel with collective pieces from the earlier movies and also many original scores..
Overall,a must see for any STAR WARS fan.....even those really "angered" by EP I and II.
