Revenge of the Sith... Finally

How long has this movie been out? Seriously. We just went to see it yesterday. I don't think Timmy would EVER have gone, but I put my foot down. I wanted to see it in a theater.

I loved it! I think it was the best film of the Prequel Trilogy. And how hot was Darth Vader? I didn't care for Anakin in Attack of the Clones. Thought he was kind of dumb. But when he went all evil, with the flowing cape and the evil snarl, whewwwww! Then he had to get all burned by liquid hot magma and stuff. Oh well.

I wanted to add a few more comments now that I've had a few days to let it all sink in. Even though I loved the movie, there were some problems. The dialogue was terrible. Trite, cliched, and I recognized some of it from the original trilogy so basically George Lucas cannibalized his own previous films. And there were some huge plot holes. Okay, hide Luke from his father with ... his relatives!?! They didn't think he'd look there? (Apparently he did not, but still!) And that whole thing about how Anakin built C3PO (okay, so this was from previous films, but it still gets on my nerves). WHY??? What about how Anakin aged 10 years but Padme stayed the same? That still bothers and I know I'm nitpicking earlier films here.

That being said, I thought Hayden Christensen did a much better job as Anakin/DarthyPoo in Revenge of the Sith than in Attack of the Clones. Yoda was more believable. R2D2 was AWESOME. Overall, again, best film of the new trilogy.
