Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith

If you haven't seen it already, I will warn you about two things. First off, the level of violence should have merited it an R rating. But that's a gripe I have with the stupid movie ratings system. Graphic violence is alright but nudity will warp your kids. So I will warn you in advance to seriously consider not taking the young ones to this one. The second thing is more important.

I read the script before seeing the movie, so I knew coming in that the dialog was horrible. Absolutely horrible. Plus, I will warn you that the acting stinks. The only one who seemed to act well was the guy who played Palpatine/Darth Sidious.

Knowing that, do not expect decent dialog. Do not expect decent acting. Go in knowing that both stink, and you won't be disappointed.

The movie lasted two hours and thirty minutes yet it flew by so fast that it seemed like only a half hour. Lucas is top notch for directing action, and this movie delivered. Practically the whole movie consisted of fighting scenes, and they all worked. I don't want to give much else away. You already know the story. You already know who lives and who dies. And it will relieve you to know that Jar Jar has zero lines of dialogue, although they do show him in a scene or two. Unfortunately, it's not a scene where a stray lightsaber cuts him in half.

So...leave your brain at the door. Let the bad acting and bad dialogue go, and enjoy the thrill ride. Despite its flaws, Mrs. Zombieslayer and I loved it. We loved how it tragically tied the two trilogies together as well. Eight dead zombies from the Zombieslayer.
