Revenge of the Sith
Thanks to Landon I did the 12:01 thing for "Revenge of the Sith" last night. Well, this morning, actually.
Anyway, the movie is solid. There is lag after the initial insane battle sequence. Once the lull is over the action builds pretty continuously towards the conclusion. Lucas did a great job stitching up all of the loose ends. Though I imagine a website will be out soon with all of the details of how the movies didn't link up properly.
The anti-Bush stuff is there for sure. Annakin's statement about being "with me or against me", and Obi-Wan's "absolutes are for Siths".
Excellent script. The acting was a little less stiff this time. Great stuff with Yoda. The violence was somewhat intense for a Star Wars movie but nothing like what you would see in a real war movie.
Anyway, the best Star Wars movie in many, many years. Very watchable even if you haven't seen the super crappy Episode I, and the almost as bad Episode II.
