George Lucas. What more can i say. He was all business with this last installment of the 6 part StarWars saga. Lucas was masterful and expertly tied together all the films with more syncronicity than the Police (the band, not the dudes knocking at your door at night wondering why your pool party went until 4am, with music so loud you kept up your neighbours).

I don't have to lay out the plot, you know it. How does the young ambitious Anikin turn to the dark side and eventually end up as Darth Vadar. Well the story is excellent, the action is amazing and the visuals are so beyond any other film it really deserves to be placed in a separate class than all other special effects "posers". The acting is very good, but frankly, not much is required. The rivetting action and quick storyline move this film so fast, you don't have time for it to get messed up by bad acting.

I found only one dismal scene in the entire movie, and that is when it tried to give space for romantic banter between Anakin and Padme. I would have puked if I had been eating anything, but luckly I had already finished my popcorn by then. That short romantic dialog of them exchanging "you're cute... no you're cuter... no you're cuter" was so beneath the rest of the film, it was sad it was left in. We all knew they loved each other. It should have been left out. If it were not for this one scene, I would have given this film an A+... instead it just came in with A.

Anyways, back to the movie. You MUST see this in theatres. Seeing it on DVD will not do it justice. The huge screen and monsterous THX stereo will blow you away in the theatre.

It's a great flick, and falls in line behind Episodes 4 and 5 as the 3rd best StarWars film of all time. You must see it. That is all!
