Chalupa's Movies: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

I saw this one as well, only I didn't stay up til 3am to see it like I did with the others. I had my doubts going into this one - and I'll be the first to admit that I've openly bashed the prequels. After thinking this through, I've come to some revelations about them.
  • Light saber battles are way cooler in prequels than trilogy
  • CGI adds a lot to the films that couldn't be done before
  • Wookies rule
  • There's bad acting and dialogue in all 6
  • Even though this films are the coolest things ever, they have created, allowed the creation for and have helped to inspire most of what we know today as sci-fi and special effects
  • The only real difference between the first and last 3 movies are the actors playing the parts
These aren't very many points, and it's kind of minimalistic, but hopefully you get my point. Maybe the original 3 just seemed so much cooler since we were so much younger and we've become so desensitized to so much stuff. Once you get the "wow" of that first movie you can never quite re-create that wow factor. Thoughts? Ideas?

there was sorta bad dialogue in the old star wars but it was much more painful in the newer ones.

while the lightsaber scenes and spaceship fights were very cool, throughout the first scene of the movie i was wishing i could see what was going on. all the spinning and dizzying movements were distracting from how awesome it was.

and even though i knew what would happen at the end, i left the movie depressed. it was a sad movie.
