Initial ROTS Reviews Hit the Internet

Posted by Zonk on from the i-sense-something-a-presence-i-haven't-felt-since dept.

Trunks writes "The first reviews of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith have started to trickle onto the Net. Reviews are posted at ComingSoon.net, Ain't It Cool News, Variety, and there are three separate reviews at TheForce.net. The current issue of Time magazine has a review as well. The reviews have all been positive so far, and the consensus appears to be that this is the best film of the prequels and it should satisfy fans who were unhappy with the first two."

    I prefer to let Rotten Tomatoes compile all of the ratings for me...

    If you enjoy the Star Wars movies/genre you will like this movie. I saw the movie on Tuesday:

    1. It is darker than the other movies...but not much darker than Empire. I think it's only two scenes that, if removed, would have given this the same rating as the other movies.
    2. The acting and writing is bad. Some good acting moments, but not many.
    3. The action and music and special effects are great.

    My biggest beefs were the dialogue between Padme and Anakin.

    You WILL need to see this movie more than one time, if for any reason then for the initial space battle scene. There is simply so much going on I wish I could have played that in slo-mo to check everything out.

    So go out, grab some popcorn and enjoy the hell out of the movie and try not to analyze it too much. It's an easy trap to fall into (Right Admiral Ackbar?), cuz I know I did.

    Actually, Lucas hired a dialogue coach (a director for actors) so it might not be so bad:
