Revenge of the Sith

I told myself I wasn't going to go watch SW3 right away. I was heartbroken at how horrible Attack of the Clones was. After I watched it, I felt like George Lucas took a big crap on my chlidhood daydreams of jedis and lightsabers. I was kinda gun-shy to get that worked up again. The corus teacher offered me a pair of tickets to last nights midnight showing, how could I refuse? My game ran over so we were kinda late getting there. Robyn & I had to sit WAY up front (not too cool).The teach I got the tickets from said he was there @ 9:50 & he wasn't much further back at all. I do hate how one guy was "holding" seats for 5 of his friends. Geez. I could see one or two, but FIVE? Oh well......

The movie was way better than I expected. It has better acting, better directing, it looked a bit more real, I had a much easier time suspending disbelief. I like how it seems like so much thought was put into how everything was to be tied in to the original movies. I found Anakin's turn to the darkside to be beliveable. His fear of losing the one he loves makes him go to any length to save her. You can see he resists it, feeling guilt, and anguish. I feel it might have been over the top at a few points, but still good none the less. I felt his motivation, I could sympathize with this portrayal of Anakin. You could see the hatred. But was it hatred of himself?

The two shining characters of the whole prequel were Obi-Wan and Palpatine. They carried this franchise just as Liam Neeson was the perfect jedi as Qui-Gon Gin in TPM. I would definitely watch it again. There was a ton of things I like and only a few I didn't. Where as in AOTC, there were a few thing I really like but hated the film as a whole.

I liked it. I will have to watch it again to fully make up my mind, but it was a definate improvement. Now I'm really stoked for the live action series.
