Star Wars Ep. III review

On May 21st, I saw the final installment of the Star Wars movies, Revenge of the Sith.

Story:
As the Clone Wars rage on, Anakin Skywalker is finished with his training. Now a Jedi Knight, he is haunted by premonitions (used dictionary.com if you don't know what it means) that his wife, Padme Amidala, will die. Darth Sidious/Chancellor-and-soon-to-be-Emperor Palpatine (if you idn't know he was evil already) uses these visions to turn Anakin to teh dark side, wiht lies of being able to keep her from death. As Anakin gets drawn to the deark side of the Force, the Jedi are extinguished, and the clone troopers turn into-OMG- STORMTROOPERS

What I think:
The plot was absolutely brilliant, and i think that this movie actually presented Anakin's transition to Darth Vader as smooth as summer lemonade. Also, the transition from Old Republic to Empire was pretty good. The new Jedi starfighters looked a lot like TIE fighters, while those new Clone fighters had attack foils that moved into maneruver and attack positions and the Republic starships look a lot like Star Destroyers. The Clone Trooper armor also turned more Stormtrooper-ish.

Another thing-the visual effects. Force lighting looks real, lightsabers glow like real energy, and Yoda unleases his -pint-sized-can-o-mega-WHOOP-ASS with realism. Also, the giant Coruscant battle made me feel like I was actually in one of those ARC-170 starfighters. Also, The lightsaber duels are so fast, my eyes couldn't follow them.

The rating:
9/10

This movie was great!


I really recommend you seeing this movie. It is NOT only for nerds, it's for everybody. It's rated PG-13, so think twice before taking your 6 year old brother along, 'cause it is gross seing anakin in his burned stage.
