Mark Hurray:
Revenge of the Sith: for nearly thirty years now this film has
been in the imaginations of Star Wars fans everywhere. Happily, I
have to say, after all these years George Lucas has definitely
delivered. While the multiple battles waged in and throughout the
movie are stunning feats of ILM’s handy work, they are merely
backdrops to the movies central plot, the seduction and fall of
Anakin Skywalker. The key selling point is Ian McDiarmid’s ability to
convincingly lure Anakin from the light, something he does quite
well.
As a fan of the series for twenty-eight years there are several
scenes that conjure an emotional response which are all the more
poignant thanks to John William’s score. Revenge of the Sith
is a ride fans will never want to see end, and may never get enough
of; it is a very good movie, a lot of fun, and by far the best of the
Prequel Trilogy. In many ways Sith is more engaging than A
New Hope and Return of the Jedi, but not quite the
complete film that The Empire Strikes Back was.
All in all I
could sit through this movie over and over, and can not wait to see
it again on the 19th.
