just got back

thought it was a LOT better then 1 and 2. wish anakin hadn't gone from good to evil so quickly though, that should have been more drawn out.. and the stuff with padme was kind of disjointed.

but.. still a good movie. sad and dark though :(

I thought it was the best of the three and on par with 4,5 and 6.  Totally could have done without the "Frankenstien" scene though.

George Lucas blew me away with his intense dialog and masterful use of language.

Lucas was close to a good film.  He ****ed it up again.

I was disapointed.

I thought the Frankenstein scene could have been better, but aside from that and 1 or 2 akward lines, I thought the movie was awesome. The fall to the darkside was well done, great fights, effects, and well placed humor ( R2 and C3P0 where well used in this one). Good flick.

Damn just got back from it.  Very intense all the way around. The effects especially the beginning battle scene were amazing.

I think the explanation of the Emperor's transformation, the transformation of the Republic to the Galactic Empire, and Darth Vader's final completion were stunning and very well done.

The ending montage had a great effect and gave me a sense of completion, knowing that I had seen the first 3 movies and now the ending of the prequel trilogy.  I will certainly appreciate the first 3 even more now.  I can imagine the feelings of those who lived through the days of the first 3 movies and now are able to see a saga completed.

P.S.  The emperor, Vader, and Tarkin on the bridge watching construction of the Death Star was the most surreal thing I've seen on film in a while.

this movie was visually stunning.  The crappy acting was expected but at least it DIDN'T HAVE JAR JAR ACTUALLY SPEAK.

I really made me want to watch epp 4, a new hope.

The childish antics of the droids kind of ruined it in the beginning.  What robot would say:

"Uh oh"
Grevious doesn't say Thank You "You're welcome"
"Ouch"(from R2D2s electricity) then it kicks R2
etc.

One question though, what the heck was General Grevious? Half human, half robot?  He had a robot body but was coughing, then we see he has working organs??

i just saw SWIII, and i'm with you on this, but on the other
side i dont know how i would film it different to be more drawn out ;)

SWIII is a Visual FX journey, nice Job Lucas,
and yes after the movie i had to watch SW IV on DVD at home lol ;)

Maybe he was part of a collective.

Joe Bob Briggs won't rate it very highly. SW3 (6) would have been a much better film if we saw Natalie Portman nekkid.

The opening space battle and rescue section was incredibly uninvolving and sterile...
