"sith" worthy of the "star wars" name

It is amazing. From the compelling opening to the emotional ending, this film is simply amazing. George Lucas has finally given us an installment in the saga that is worthy of the Star Wars name. The first episode was terrible, the second was so much better and now this actually can stand with pride along side the original three. My expectations were not met but exceeded. The visuals were almost perfect. Although some shots were lacking...ILM seems to be behind the current quality in CGI...the overall quality was pure magic. Yoda was once again amazing and was just as good as having a real puppet like the original version from years ago. John Williams' score far exceeded his previous two. He blended new themes with old ones to create a hauntingly beautiful and emotionally packed work of art. It is among his best work in years. The acting was not Oscar worthy, but then again what Star Wars film has great acting. What it had, though, was great characters that were done to the best of their ability. The acting was not terrible; I actually was not distracted by it this time as much as in the previous two films. Natalie Portman has grown into her role very well and Hayden Christensen no longer maintained his petulant child act. They both did...I never thought I would say this...great jobs. Also great were Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid. Both just captivated me with their performance. George Lucas, despite his inability to weave words without producing awkward dialogue, did a formidable job writing the screenplay and directing the action. It is as if the first two were just in the way of what he was really trying to produce. This is the well-fleshed out product of an amazing imagination. The whole film is really just captivating and worthy of as much attention as it is getting. I loved it and can't wait to see it again...as many times as possible because a trip to see it on the big screen is worth it. Thank you, Lucas for a wonderful film.
