Review : Starwars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith
This weekend I saw Starwars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. It was quite good and it really did what it needed to do to fill in the places in the six Starwars movies and tie the two trilogies together. This was probably the best of the new trilogy and was one of the best of all the Starwars movies.
We get to see all the dark lords of the Sith with the exception of the Emperor and Darth Vader get taken out. There are massive space battles, tons of light saber fights and so much special effects that it is almost is a completely animated movie with a couple actors in front of green screens.
This movie is clearly not intended for little kids. The PG-13 ratings is clearly warranted and a lot of good guys get killed. All the Jedi with the exception of Yoda and Obiwan buy the farm in this movie. I don't want to have any major spoilers in this review except everyone that has seen Starwars know that Anikin Skywalker is seduced by the dark side of the force, becomes Darth Vader and slaughtered the Jedi in a counter coup.
The acting was much better in this movie and it was a very fitting end to the main Starwars movies. I know that there are two TV series in the works but if there is no more Starwars after this point it would be a good end. This is really the second ending to Starwars since I remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theaters back in 1983. Revenge of the Sith really satisfied and I am probably going to go see it again really soon.
Oh I lied. Here is a spoiler. I can't believe that Jar Jar Binks lived through it. I mean all the Jedi but two get whacked but Jar Jar lives. That is the true dark side of the force.

I thought it was pretty good. The main drawback: TOO MUCH CGI. Waaay too much.

I thought the CGI effects rocked. It was pure eye candy and boy it was tasty.
