ajzepp Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 This was a pretty awesome read.....if you are wanting to protect yourself from knowing too much about this film, hit your 'back' button now! You've been warned!! This is just an excerpt from his review......the link will take you to the rest of it. "Revenge of the Sith" is, quite simply, fu**ing awesome. This is the "Star Wars" prequel the haters have been bitching for since "Menace" came out, and if they don't cop to that when they finally see it, they're lying. As dark as "Empire" was, this movie goes a thousand times darker - from the triggering of Order 66.....to the jaw-dropping Anakin/Obi Wan fight on Mustafar......this flick is so satisfyingly tragic, you'll think you're watching "Othello" or "Hamlet". I edited this quote.....seriously, TURN BACK NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!! http://viewaskew.com/news/sith/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and me generally wait until the rentals come out, so advance reviews doesn't spoil it for us anyway. I appreciate the link. You've been a bit of a stranger here, recently.

SF Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm really anticipating this one. I'll take Smith's word for it because I am certain he would be honest with his review. He is a true geek. He was on a Bay Area morning show that I listen to for a whole week and they guy is a total nerd, albeit a cool nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, he seems to have been really blown away by 'Sith', and from his description it's clear that the tone of this film will depart from that of the other five.

I was positive about the others in that they were still good movies, if not the great by the standards of Star Wars. No matter what, the previous two were movies made on a grand scale and were entertaining. I have friends that work at the ranch, which is only right up the road and I'm hoping to try to get an early viewing, if possible. I got to go to the screenings of the others. It's quite an experience when you are waiting to watch the movie and there are people up in front dueling with their light sabres and the guy eating popcorn next to you is stuffing it up his stormtrooper mask.

According to the local n'paper the largest in years because Geo. Lucas attended, his 1st such since 1987. The original Chewbacca, R2D2, Ewok actors were said to attend, along with Billy Williams Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the first two prequels. There was just no way that Lucas could have recaptured the magic that was the first trilogy. Those films left an indelible mark in many of our hearts, and to think the new ones would have the same effect would just be unrealistic. But to those of us who grew up with the original films, that's not neccessarily a bad thing I think there are probably some criticisms of the prequels that are valid to some degree, but it doesn't really matter. I'm on record as saying that George can do no wrong in my eyes, and I still stand by that lol. The guy did it his way from the beginning, and that's just fine with me.

Not so cool to go to the movie in, though. I think Triumph would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
