Epinions Time Capsule: 'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith' Movie Review
Author’s Note: This is the original review of Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith that I wrote on May 19, 2005…the day the film premiered on wide release. I wrote it for Epinions as soon as I got home. As a result, it captures the emotions I felt on that day and my initial impressions about what at the time was the final Star Wars movie. The “title crawl” I came up with, obviously, is not the one from the actual film. I could, of course, have looked up the text from the movie’s crawl and replicated it here, but I wanted to present my review as I wrote it on that day. Pros: Stronger-than-usual Prequel narrative; exciting action sequences; great score Cons: Padme and Anakin storyline weaker than expected. And you, young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest. -- Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Someday I'll be the most powerful Jedi ever! I promise you. I will even learn to stop
