STAR WARS: Revenge of the Sith

Hooray!!!!!!!

Yeap yeap – I’ve finally watched STAR WARS: Episode 3 on 19 May 2005 – together with millions of other people around the world! *Grinz* It was really nice that everyone in the cinema clapped and cheered when the 'STAR WARS' logo first flashed across the scene, accompanied by the classic tune from John Williams' score.

Without the intention of writing a spoiler, I shall not dwell on the contents of the film. Instead, I’ll just write a quick blog on my general opinion and feelings after watching the show.

In short, I loved the film. With such impressive lightsaber battle sequences and amazing CGI enacted scenes, one really has to take one’s hat off to George Lucas for producing such a masterpiece conclusion to the epic saga of STAR WARS.

And the basic storyline of the movie is what all STAR WARS fans have come to expect – as I feel that it nicely provides a seamless transition between the first and second trilogy. For those of you out there who are hungry for answers as to what happens between Episode 2 and Episode 4, this is the movie to watch.

From another perspective, I’ve gotta admit that there are some parts of the film that could have been better. The trademark cheesy one-liners from Episode 1 and 2 still populate the script, and I feel that the characters could have been further developed. Hayden Christensen may not be everyone’s favourite actor, but I feel that he deserves a small amount (yes – just a small dose) of credit for playing the lead role of Anakin Skywalker. He has certainly improved from the wimp that he was in the Attack of the Clones.

All in all, it was a fantastic show. And in terms of ranking the film against its 5 counterparts, my verdict is that it falls just below Episode 5 & 6.

To all fellow STAR WARS fans out there, this is a show you will not want to miss. May the force be with you!
