Star Wars III
When I went to watch the 3rd prequel of Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith, I did not go with too many expectations. The reviews of the first two prequels were mediocre and all that was expected from this last edition was loads of graphics and special effects.... and I was not disappointed on that account.
I got to admit, I am a Star Wars virgin!!! Never seen any of them. But I did not go for the 'Revenge...' totally ignorant. I had read about the series (very briefly, if i mite add) and had an overall idea of the complete story. But still never seen the action on the big screen.
Though my expectations weren't sky high, I was looking forward to it. And then it all started.
"Aaarrrgggg.... OH MY GOD!... What the heck is this...." These were my reactions on the first 15 or so minutes of the movie. It was simply 'cartoonish'. Another friend of mine, also a first timer, called it a video-game!
Thats what it was, the good guys swing their lazor beams and the droids fall apart with absolutely no resistanace or struggle whatsoever. It was far too simple. It was pathetic!
With almost nothing to loose or gain I sat in the comfort of my seat to watch the remaining of the movie. The story moved rather well after the rescue operation of Chancellor Palpatine (that took place in the first 15 min of de movie), there weren't too many *action scenes* but nevertheless I started feeling like watching an actual movie. Slowly but steadily the movie gathered steam and was for the first time "interesting".
The film is filled with special effects and amazing graphics. This was very much expected form the movie and the viewers were not disappointed. Inspite of the modern tecniques (probably) used the film retained its classic touch on screen which was really.... classy! The prelude given at the start of the movie and the background music was nostalgic.
By the latter half of the movie I was glued to my seat, the plot thickened, the character's resolve strengthened, the essence of this episode was coming alive.... Anakin's premonition of the death of his love, his mental struggle between the good and evil, his final transition into the dark side in order to save his love, his battle with the Jedi council, his losing the battle with his master Kenobi and finally his rebirth from the "ashes". The birth of Darth Vader.
The climax of the movie was well scripted and choreographed excellently. The movie in the end was a treat to watch. Like the rebirth of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, I was transformed for a critic to a fan by the movie. Now all I wanna do is rent out the other episodes of the movie and watch them back to back. I am sure it will be worth it.
May the force be with you.
