Revenge of the Sith--I've seen it!
Me | 5/5/2005 | me

Well, you can all relax. While ROTS isn't a masterpiece, it's pretty darn good.

I managed to slip into a preview showing earlier today and had a thoroughly good time. Yes, it's pretty grim in places. Yet if anything, I'd say it wasn't grim enough.

The opening battle will have your jaw hitting the floor. Wall-to-wall butt-kicking on a cosmic scale. And the betrayal of the Jedi...well, it really, really hurts. Even when you know it's coming, it hurts.

Oh, yes. This one's a keeper.

"And the betrayal of the Jedi...well, it really, really hurts."

What happens, does the President give the Communists strategic missile technology in return for campaign donations, or something?

My favorite part is where Yoda gets all persnickety on them.

SPOILER ALERT!!



I almost forgot about Jar Jar. So did Lucas, thank God. He appears for three seconds and gets no dialog. Not a single line.

We're saved!

I just read the Variety review, and it was very positive as well.

Since 17 cents of every ticket dollar ends up at the DNC,
the question becomes: is it worth paying that price
(not to mention several irreplaceable lifetime hours)
to see it?

Great, but that's not the most important thing. In that three seconds PLEASE say that Jar-Jar dies an agonizing and gruesome death. Oh, please let it be true.
