Newest Star Wars Reviews Suprisingly Positive

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-me-i'll-be-in-tokyo dept.

Patchw0rk F0g writes "CBC is reporting on the suprising results of pre-screenings of Lucas' latest (and final) installment of his sci-fi epic. From TFA, "The advance reviews of Revenge of the Sith, the sixth - and final - Star Wars film, have been mostly positive - and in some cases outright effusive." Go figure... maybe Georgie got it right finally."

    I've been reading the reviews, too, with a bit a skepticism... but I liked this one most of all. She's an occasional columnist for AICN, and definitely one of their better and more trustworthy writers. She trashed the last two movies, but this one, well...

    A. Bloody hell! It's good!

    Lucas said flat out in some magazine-or-other that he was not doing the final 3, and since he, himself wasn't doing the final 3, he wasn't going to allow them to be made, either.

    Things may have changed since then, but that's the last I heard of it.

    Empire Strikes Back was the best of the original Trilogy. Now who directed that again?
    Irvin Kershner

    Why is it that the proponents of "one nation under God" are so eager to get rid of "liberty and justice for all"?

    Actually, rottentomatoes is not an average score, but a percentage of the total that are positive. In other words, if EVERYONE gives a movie the exact same score, 60%, then the movie will get 100% on RT since they were ALL positive. Metacritic actually gives an average score.
