Saw Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith yesterday and loved it. The movie was simply superb. I just started watching this series on Tuesday. A friend of mine, who also is also a new star wars fan got the DVD of the first two parts and was having a "screening" at his place. He invited all of us.
So by Thursday I was all set to watch the 3rd part. That man George Lucas is a genius. I just cannot understand how he comes up with all the locations, the environment, the creatures in the movie.
The movie began with an action sequence. And then it settled into the normal drama, emotion thingy. I knew that this movie is all about a nice, honest Anakin becoming the dark lord Darth Vader. But still watching the whole thing unravel was so very captivating. One could actually feel for him. Poor guy was so in love with his wife and scared to lose her that he joined the very thing he was taught to defeat, the dark side of the force. I guess we all can be manipulated when we are at our weakest. The cause of this weakness can be so many things, jealousy, helplessness, fear of losing someone you love.
As Anakin turns into Darth Vader you get a total new perspective of him. As I read in one of the review, this movie is more about the death of a very nice, humble, helpful Anakin then the birth of the dark Darth Vader. And I agree. There are very nice duels in the movie. And ofcourse the high point is the transformation of the badly injured Anakin into Darth Vader, more specifically the placing of the mask on his face.
In short this is one of the best movies I have seen. I am a big Spider-Man fan. I liked Spider-Man 1 and loved Spider-Man 2. I would place Revenge of the Sith among these movies.
Thanks Mr. Lucas for this wonderful story !
