Revenge of the sith (review!)
Hello everyone! So, I know that many of you think that this movie isn't very good, but I must disagree. Not only will I give my final overall grade on this film but I will also explain why it's actually a GREAT film. Wish me luck lol!
Screenwriting: 6
Acting: 8
Special effects: 10
Story: 10
Action scenes: 10
Summary- Ok! So I know that the writing isn't very good, but just about all other aspects of this film are really good. I gave the acting an 8 because Hayden actually did a very good job portraying Anakin Skywalker. Ewen McGregor is always great, and so is the majority of the other actors. Where it loses points is with Natalie Portman's portrayal of padme. She's a great actress, but she couldn't make an ok script sound great. As for the special effects, do I need to say anything? I mean com on! They are truly fantastic! Especially for a film that was made in 2002. The story was great and the action scenes, especially the lightsaber duels, are some of the best in Star wars history.
Defending the movie- some people say that anakin's turn to the Darkside is too sudden and unbelievable. But, to me, if you think that way then you weren't paying attention. First off, the ENTIRE prequel trilogy had been building up to the very moment they Anakin says, "I'll do whatever you ask". First, you have to understand and remember that Anakin was a slave! If American history teaches us anything, then we all know that slavery was the worse. Next thing Anakin knows, he's leaving his mom behind to become a Jedi, a decision that would go on to haunt him for years. Then, in the next movie we see Anakin having nightmares about his mom's death and they got so bad that he had to go and find her. In one of the most emotional scenes in Star wars history, anakin's mother says her final goodbye and she dies in his arms. Ok now this is REALLY important. There are some people out there who criticize Anakin turning so quickly and these people point to the fact that he he killed younglings. But guess what, HE'S KILLED KIDS BEFORE! Remember that scene were Anakin's mom dies in his arms? What happened right after that?? In a hate filled furry, he kills ALL the sand people in the village. Here's quote from attack of the clones, "I killed them, and not only the men, but the women, and the children." Oh, what's that? Did he say CHILDREN!? yes he did! He's killed kids before. All Anakin wanted was to save padme's life and he was willing to sacrifice anything.
Ok so there's my review, I hoped you all liked it!:)
