Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Literally tens of thousands of reviews have been written already, but I think I have to write my review here, since it's Star Wars.

I enjoyed it. I'm nowhere near hard core, die hard Star Wars fans, but I watched Episode IV, V, and VI more than 10 times. I watched I and II only 5+ times, but I'm sure that I'll watch at least 10 more times in the future. Presented my background (as a Star Wars fan), here's my review.

I enjoyed Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, but my take is that the movie is really made for Star Wars fans or those who watched Star Wars Episode I, II, IV, V, and VI at least once; otherwise, it'll be difficult to follow the story. You might enjoy the movie, but it won't be half as enjoyable as you will after you watch all episodes and know the story. There are some missing pieces, but Episode III wraps up the series pretty nicely. You can really see how the story continues and leads to Episode IV. Sunset in Tatooine is the last scene in the movie; the shot is made a couple of momentous moments in Star Wars, and you can really feel that the whole story is complete.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was a great movie(given the fact that I already watched Episode I, II, IV, V, and VI), but one thing that I respectfully disagree with many other Star Wars fans is that I think II is the best of prequels and not III; apparently, many fans rate III is the best of prequels. There is a good story in Episode III, but there isn't a great drama as a movie, whereas Episode II has a nice love story, and it is a big part of the movie Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.

Kind of brief, but this is my review. I'll take a look into various elements in the coming weeks and months, as I'll watch Star Wars several more times.
