So, I was up just before 3AM yesterday morning, worked the entire day (yes, I worked, in the office), went home and supported McHappy Day for dinner, watched American Idol, caught some of the Suns-Navs game and then left to catch the midnight showing of Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith.
I will not be so mean as give away any spoilers (Darth Vader dies) as I do not want to ruin the movie for anyone (Darth Vader dies). I will say this is probably (thanks to much improved tools) the most visually stunning of the six movies with the most on-screen action in any one scene. It does plod in a couple of places but enough sugar and popcorn makes that tolerable.
Unlike some calling this the best of all six movies, I personally would still rate it second to Star Wars V - The Empire Strikes Back. That movie had it all and packed it right with a very good flow to it. It edges out the new one in storyline and flow while obviously losing in impact (loose ends tied up), visuals (lightsabers everywhere) and action (just how do you track that many moving things on a single screen at once?).
So, is it worth seeing? Take it from one who was two rows from the screen, most definitely. I will be seeing it again at a more natural seat level and preferably at the digital theatre.
