Spoilers, if you haven't seen Revenge of the Sith

Okay, so admittedly I'm the farthest thing from an expert, or even a true fan, that is possible in our current reality. I can't remember the first three (or middle three?) movies. I have a fuzzy memory of some Eewoks (is that even how you spell it?) moving about in a way eerily reminiscent of the Oompah Loompahs, and I seem to remember some blonde pretty-boy whining a lot. Some screaming of the word "NOOOOO!" was done. I remember some really awkward hairstyles. So when I tell you that I liked the Revenge of the Sith, keep in mind that my opinion can be valued at slightly more than gravel, but slightly less than nice smooth stones.

That said, I liked it. Sure, there were some boring moments. I was personally bored by many of the battles and interchanges, because I had some idea of how things were going to turn out, and my mind requires a slightly greater challenge in order to stay really focused. But somewhere between the killing of innocent children and the severing of three (3!) limbs in one blow, I got excited. I thought Darth Vader's transformation was done really well. Anniken was too pretty for me to really envision the change in my own imagination, so I was excited about that part.

On a side note, who the crap lets someone they love roast slowly to death with three severed limbs, falling slowly but inevitably toward a lake of fiery lava? I mean, sure, Obi-wan didn't want to kill Annikin. He loved him. But come on! Letting him die slowly and in unbelievable pain is somehow more soothing to his conscience? Sure. Whatever.

Anyway. I'm told that multiple viewings are necessary to make a final decision by those of you who are real fans, but I still liked it. Maybe even enough to watch those original three again someday.
