Movie Review--Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

I finally geeked out and went to see the movie this past weekend.

In the first five minutes, I said "wow" about ten times. The special effects were amazing. Except in a few instances later on in the film, I could tell that nothing was digitally animated. I think that Yoda had the best characterization in the film. The actors appeared wooden at times, but I chalk that up to bad dialogue.

One thing I did not like about the film was that Padmé basically dies of a broken heart. That is crap. She had been such a strong character in the first two films that I highly doubt she'd give up the will to live just because her lover turned out to be a monster. She'd go kick his ass!

I think that there were almost too many characters, and since fans liked them all, the moviemakers wanted them all to get some screen time.

It was a satisfying ending to a mythic series, and the best part was that it was light-years better than "Menace" and "Attack of the Clones," thank the gods. Those two movies were not very good plotwise.

See it if you like "Star Wars." If you don't like "SW," then don't bother.
