Readers’ reviews of ‘Revenge of the Sith’

Christensen delivers
I was among the many people who watched the midnight showing of "Episode III", and I can say it was everything I hoped it would be. It was very efficient at tying up all the questions of how Episodes II and IV connected. The action was crisp and almost non-stop. Hayden Christensen (of whom I was not a huge fan) delivered huge in this movie, showing us the emotional decay that led to him becoming Darth Vader. And when the helmet goes into place and he breathes through the mask for the first time, you could almost feel the electricity in the theater. I highly recommend this movie, and truly question these reviews that say the movie doesn't stack up. —Jason Williams, Boaz, Ala.

A cinematic experience
The film was brilliant. It was the perfect balance of action, legend, love and a brilliantly tied together ending. Overall the best prequal I have yet seen. The mix of special effects and sets from the original film was second to none. This was a true cinematic experience. To say that "Sith" is pretty much what you'd expect from this increasingly tired series' is ludicrous, you just have to look at its history at the box office and you can clearly see this is a far from tired series. It is one that will live in my memory for the rest of my life. Hayden Christensen's performance was absolutely brilliant, the darkness of character he builds throughout the role was perfect. I am no "Star Wars" geek by any stretch of the imagination, but shame on John Hartl for denying this film the true recognition deserves. —Matt Hymers, Sydney, Australia

More development for Anakin
I thought the movie was great. However, I do agree that Anakin's transformation should have been more developed. The sequences illustrating Anakin's transformation were a bit choppy. I almost feel that Lucas should have made this final installment a four or five hour epic and really give time to the transformation of Anakin to Darth Vader. —Damon Juretich, Flint, Mich.

Typical George Lucas
It is everything I expected. Totally lame script, great effects. George Lucas has great vision, but no idea how to convey it. I expected more from him this time. Maybe there will be remakes in 50 years by someone else. We can only hope. —Noel Cleveland, Lubbock, Texas
