Star Wars: Episode III
I have been thinking about what rating to give the Revenge of the Sith. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, so I would definitely encourage you to see it (if you haven't already). For a more quantitative review I would say between 3 and 3.5 stars out of 4. 3.25 would about right, but that would make me feel like Ed McMahon on Star Search.
Other comments about the movie:
First, there was a definite plot line. I know this might sound like an obvious thing to say, since we are talking about a movie, but followers of the Star Wars franchise know where Episode II left off and know where Episode IV began. This leaves little room for flexibility in the story.
Personally, I thought that the CGI was some of the best that I have ever seen. Some people may disagree, but I would like to remind people that Star Wars did not simply take the background and insert an element as Jurassic Park did with dinosaurs. Much of Star Wars was filmed on blue screens leaving artists to render the full environment.
I have been a bit busy lately. I will try to update this entry if at all possible.
