May 23rd 2005 Just another Star Wars review
Rarely has a movie been met with lower expectations or higher acclaim than Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Rarely have I heard more starkly opposed reviews from people whose opinions I respect. Before moving on to anything critical, I will preface this review with a couple things to keep in mind. First, I really enjoyed watching this movie. It is visually spectacular. Second (and perhaps more importantly in the context of what follows), expecting much out of Star Wars apart from visual excitement is asking a lot. I know this, but I went in expecting anyway. No real spoilers, unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last two decades.
