I have just got back from seeing Revenge Of The Sith.. I Liked it a lot BUT! Bad news first... I have spoiled myself crazy when it comes to this film, and there are now some spoiler reports I wish I hadn't read because the scenes didn't have certain things that I was expecting to see in them. I thought the pace of this film was FAR to Fast, maybe its because this was the first time I've seen this film but It was like George just said here this is 30 years of my life thats it its done. Scenes were cut to quickly, for Example, When Anikan kills Dooku, there isn't enough of Sidious goading him on like he did with Luke, and there was nothing about the rise of the rebellion in this film. I wished that the Scene when Anikan is slaughtering the Jedi was all one scene. I wish that Order 66 would have been portrayed a bit slower, I wanted more in certain scenes and The Cutting and the wiping just wrapped a scene up to quickly, although thats the way it has been in all Star Wars movies. Things came one after the other and we didn't have time to catch our breaths!! I wish George had not been such a harsh editor with this film. I didn't like the fact the Qui-gon scene got taken out, I thought it was needed to explain a few things. I thought there should have been a bit more of Anikan being excited about the fact he was going to become a father, I wished it had more emotion in it over all. I thought the scene after Vader rises, when he screams "NOOOO" was good just I didn't like the circle Wipe that was bad and I thought there would have been more stuff to destroy, and Sidious cackling in the background, I wish that George had not gone with so many Wipes in this film, I guess I should not loose heart though, the DVD will be out soon, and with repeated viewings I will get used to all of the super quick pacing and HOPEFULLY there will be things added in to the DVD that will make it extended or something like that. The crowd I went with sucked, I was one of the first in line, the crowd laughed at some moments like when R2 banged in to the wall, that was funny, and when Yoda took out the red guards, but there was no reaction, NONE to the key "Epic moments" in this film. like when Sidious named Anikan and there was no "ohhh" or anything when Anikan choked Padme.
Great news... This film felt somewhat not like a Star Wars Film, I can't explain why. just a feeling. It was a good feeling though. All hell breaks loose in this movie. I Liked the moments with Yoda and Sidious, and all the saber duels, Ewan Mcgregor pulls off a wonderful Obiwan-kenobi and reminded me a lot of Alec Guiness. I loved all the scenes with Anikan and Padm'e I thought that maybe, there should have been more, but Attack of the clones was the time for Roamnce, Revenge Of The Sith got down to Business. I loved the Ankan and Padme balcony sequence, that was cool, and very effective. the Dialoge was good, not as bad I thought it was going to be. I Loved the opening battle, I Loved the Moment when Anikan becomes Sidiouse's Apprentice, that was BEAUTIFUL. there are many beautiful moments in this film, but the way Sidious spoke to Anikan was great, This was truly the Emperors film!! I liked the Dream sequences, they were really cool and different for a Star Wars movie, it felt like you were seeing them through someones eye. I Liked Haydens performance a lot. I didn't like how he spoke monotone all the time, that bothered me a bit But He Rocks in this film!! The Best by far moment of Haydens performance is when he sees Obi-wan on the landing deck and portrays "Liar!" HE JUST SCREAMS! and the conversation that follows was great! He explodes like a Volcanoe (giggles), Finally! no holding back anymore! More Emotion! He Finally expresses another Emotion other than arrogance. I was sitting there thinking "Yes" "Yes" Yell! Scream! get upset! I was so happy with the the events that started the duel. The Duel was great, It felt a bit short, as was the one with Yoda and Sidious but over all great. John Williams score really helps this film with its expression of emotions. Hayden is not a bad actor at all, He matches the expressions and tone of voice Luke had in the Original Trilogy. I liked him a lot more in this movie though. You have to think of the monotone voice, as arrogance, and thats just the way he talks. The moment when Anikan is set on fire, that was great! I loved how graphic it was, but I thought they should not have shown him cooling down and the flames lowering I did not like that, it made the scene seem weak, but nothing was weak about the way Hayden Screamed! I liked that, I thought the "I hate you" was out of place though, It should have come after Obi-wan said I Love you like a brother. I was so glad when I heard James Earl Jones voice again! YAYYYY!!! It felt like watching the Original trilogy. I loved hearing him speak as Vader for the fist time.I would definitely rank this film as one of my favorite films. This film makes me wan't to re-watch the Original trilogy because I finally have a face to match Vader too, I think this film will need repeated viewings to fully encompass it. "Complete this saga is."
