It's wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2005)

I just saw Revenge of the Sith and it's simply wonderful.
Others may agree with me that Mr. Lucas may have dropped the ball with Episodes I and II, but I'm quite convinced with Revenge of the Sith, he has regained tremendous focus. The movie starts off strong and maintains the momentum throughout.
I was disappointed with I and II because it lacked the power (for lack of a better word) and emotion of IV, V, and VI. In Revenge of the Sith, the emotion is intense. I felt the movie did not lull at any point. Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and Hayden Christensen all deliver much much stronger performances, especially Hayden. Anakin's submission to the Dark Side was executed very well. The special effects are fantastic, the story is very strong, and most importantly it recaptures the essence of IV, V, and VI that has made me a loyal fan of Star Wars since the beginning.
The movie is long, but I actually thought it needed another 10 mins. I would have liked to have seen how Obi-Wan and Yoda settle down.
Prior to watching Revenge of the Sith I was rather skeptical; I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly blown away. The movie hits the sweet spot on all aspects mentioned above and Revenge of the Sith has overtaken Empire Strikes Back as my personal favorite. I am so happy with the final installment. Revenge is indeed sweet.
