Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

I saw this movie on May 19, 2005, at Gaisano Mall Cinema 2. It's so far the best movie that I have seen this year. Not that I have seen lots of movies this year. But I did saw recently Kingdom of Heaven (which I like), The Interpreter (like this as well), and The Pacifier (don't like).

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is truly the best of the prequel, and probably the best of all six movies in terms of action. The fight scenes, especially the lightsaber duels, are excellent. The score by John Williams has become familiar thanks to my countless of hours spent playing Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. There are certain parts where I forgot I'm watching a movie and instead felt like playing the game... on a big, wide screen. The dialogue, as expected in any Star Wars film, is mediocre. But it is okay, and I did understand the story and felt for some characters despite the dialogue. I like it a lot. It's one of those movies that I must see several times in the theater, before I'll buy and enjoy the video for countless hours more.
