Episode III is a film worth seeing for those who are fans of the saga. The premise is of course known to many that the troubled teen Anakin Skywalker in the end will wear the famous helmet of Darth Vader. The movie will take you on a reasons why Anakin has to ally with the dark side of the force.
It dazzles the screen with its battles at the beginning when mentor and student, Obi-Wan and Anakin, are tasked to save Chancellor Palpatine, he was kidnapped, from General Grievous, the only character in the saga that can weild four lightsabers. The effects are flawless like you were part of the game. All the questions has been answered, like how was the twins, Leia and Luke, separated at birth, the creation of the Death Star, and the flight of the Jedis. We are even given a chance to see where Chewbacca came from in one of the battles. Those who are not familiar of the movie may get confused in the end especially the time when the Emperor commanded the Republic troop to execute the plan. One of my seatmate asked me why does the troops followed his command.
There were lots of funny moments in the film. George Lucas’s humor is everywhere and if you are attentive enough, you get to see his appearance in the film. There is R2D2 who became a scene-stealer as he fights the Sith robots.
There are some flaws which you might get noticed. Hayden Christensen, as Anakin, is overacting. He was more like a kid who haven’t received his Christmas gift. Dialogues are flat and not that exciting, that many think are not a concern for a sci-fi movie.
Sith is a masterpiece, whatever the flaws are it is a feast to the eye. Go now and watch it and May the Force be With You.
