Finally.. a movie worthy of Star Wars!

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2005)

I'm a fan of the original trilogy. I hated Episode I and only liked Episode II, I had pretty low expectations with this final installment
On arrival to the NZ Premiere I was graced with an entourage of performers dressed as Darth Vader, Boba Fett, about 10 Stormtroopers, 2 Scout Troopers and more. I knew I was in for an interesting night
Once I found my seat with my freebies in hand the lights dimmed and anticipation rocked the theater. There's just something about that "20th Century Fox" music and "Lucasfilm" logo that gets everyone cheering. All that changed though.. It stayed quiet for an usually long time, but.. It was the right kind of quiet! That's because unlike the other's.. This film was good
From the war that we're thrown right into at the start, to the demise of Count Dooku. From Anakin's struggle with the possible loss of Padme to childbirth, to being tempted by an evil Sith Lord into believing that he can save her from death using the powers of the Darkside. From a showdown between the Sith Lord and Mace Windu, to the decision by Anakin to serve the Sith killing both young-ling and old to attain power From Yoda's exile, to the climatic final showdown between Anakin and Obi-Wan leaving both scarred forever
It is an emotional roller-coaster, one I'm glad I took the chance on
There's so much more I could ramble on about, including the soon to be infamous CODE 66(?) but I'll leave that to you to find out for yourself
Thank you, George. You did good
