Star Wars review

Okay here it goes. I was going to post one on Thursday night but after 3 hours sleep, going to work, trying to get housework done here before family gets here, and watching DVR episodes of "Lost" and half of "Alias" I was just too tired.

There are spoilers in this review! If you don't want to know before you see it don't read!

I loved it. It is a very close second to Empire Strikes Back. It answers all the questions on how come Anakin went to the darkside. We went to see it a second time tonight and it was even better. Everyone said (including me) that Anakin went to the dark side too soon. What we have to remember is that the Palpitine had his evil mojo on him from the beginning.

Uncle George cannot write a love scene to save his life.

Anakin and Palpitine steal the show.

Natalie Portman was basically useless in this movie. She is either saying crappy lines or she is crying.

McGreggor will forever be Obi-Wan. He was great.

R2 and 3P0 were in it a little but not much.

Jar Jar in 3 scenes and does not say a word!!!

Answers a lot of questions and fills in stuff for the original trilogy.

There was one more complaint that I have. Vader finds out that Padme has died. The emperor blames it on him. He says "NO" as everything in the room is breaking and he is trying to get unrestrained. This is the most pathetic "NO" I have ever heard. Come on you are DARTH VADER! Put more feeling into it! My cat Connor can do a better "NO" than that!

Overall Adam and I loved it. And we'll probably see it a couple more times before it comes to DVD in the fall.
