Ebert Gives 'Sith' Positive Review
emerald demon writes "The world's authority on reviewing movies, Roger Ebert, has released his review of "Star Wars--Episode III: Revenge of the Sith." I noticed that Ebert & Roeper gave it a two thumbs up, but I assumed that Ebert was going to go for the minimum for giving his thumb up--two and a half stars. I was delighted to read his three and a half starred review. It seemed like he let a few things slip, but it's obvious that he enjoyed it. '"Episode III" has more action per square minute, I'd guess, than any of the previous five movies, and it is spectacular.' Bad dialogue as usual: 'To say that George Lucas cannot write a love scene is an understatement; greeting cards have expressed more passion.'"

It always amazes me that people believe these sort of blanket western centric statements. I'm sure loads of people from China and India (to name a few) hang off of Eberts words.

No, really, they are not. The lack the drama of the original series and the scope and grandour of the three prequels. Lucas wrote Star Wars. Timothy Zahn reads like cheap fan fiction.
