A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
OK, first thing I have to say about Revenge of the Sith is that it is the film it needed to be, and more. The more is what's wrong with it, there should have been less.
About 45 minutes less.
The opening screen (see title) always sends a chill down my spine. Even in the wake of the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones that little phrase brings me back to the moment I saw A New Hope for the first time. And the music... As soon as that first Dah! hits you while you're trying to read the yellow background... it's a wonderful moment.
What follows is usually awful, and has been since Return of the Jedi (fucking ewoks!), so that is a lot of shite to forget about, but John Williams manages it every time.
But with this film, from the opening sequence of Anakin and Obi-Wan jetting in and out of a massive droid battle, to the moment Anakin succumbs to the Darkside - it's great! With a few saggy bits.
There are the bits where 'Annie' and Padme get all mooshy and bleugh which just GO ON TOO LONG! OK, so the reason he goes to the darkside in the first place is that he has a dream she's gonna die and Darth Sidious tells him he can save her by using the 'unnatural' powers the Jedi won't tell him about. But it didn't need to be laid on so thick!
The moment when Darth "I'm a big bad bastard in a suit and I'm gonna fuck you right up the galactic wazoo!" Vader steps up is, well, it's been so long... I felt tears...
Um... Overall, Georgie-boy managed to pull that rabbit we knew he was hiding in his hat, out - although he couldn't resist the schmaltz he's been so good at in recent times.
May the Forks be with you.
