Dark, moody, engaging, fantastic

But stop reading all these reviews by us *****tards, go see the movie dammit. The acting is definitely way better than the previous installment was and it's lack of an "everything's gonna be alright" atmosphere lends to the severity of the times they live in. I was a little shocked by at least one thing in the movie, being much darker than I had anticipated, but it was ever that much more captivating for it. If nothing else everyone is sure to enjoy the spectacular lightsaber battles and a silent Jar Jar Binks. Dammit Lucas, you should have come out swinging with stuff like this, then people wouldn't talk so much crap about you and Star Wars being a "tired franchise" as reported in the Post Dispatch too many times to count.
