Well, after it having been out for three weeks now, we finally made it to see Revenge of the Sith and I have to say it's the best epic film I've seen since Return of the King. The main reason for that is the storytelling. I mean, if you've seen episode IV, you know who's going to survive the battle scenes in Revenge and who won't. You know where everyone starts out in Episode IV, but what you don't know is how they got there. George Lucas did a brilliant job tying up those loose ends and setting up the plots for eps IV-VI.
As with the other films the musical score was great. It brought the perfect emotion to every scene. Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, and Ewen McGregor were once again outstanding in their roles. Christensen's performance really stood out to me and made me want to check out some of the other work he's done, just to see him in a different role. So, those will be some of the next on my list of movies to watch.
While the acting was great, the special effects phenomenal, and the fight scenes exciting, it was the storytelling aspect that really made me love this movie. It definitely gets a two thumbs up from both my husband and me. That's four thumbs all together. We'd give it more if we had more thumbs.
Now I want to know what happens after Return of the Jedi. However, as Lucas has said he's not making anymore Star Wars films, I guess we'll all just have to use our imaginations.
Happy imagining all!
P.S. Stay tuned in coming days for a review of The Maltese Falcon. Now that rerun season is here, we are back to watching films off the AFI top 100 list.
