Update - Review

Sorry for not updating the blog for a few days. I was distracted by some things.
Thursday was the big day for The Revenge of the Sith. I got to the theater at 10AM. I was suprised to see that there was not a line for the show. Apparently the theater added two additional shows before the one we were going to see. We hung out there anyway and occupied our time with the arcade. We found our seats about twenty minutes to 12, the show was going to start at 12:30. The movie lived up to its expectations of more action then the first two. As you all should know, I am a huge Star Wars fan, so do not take this the wrong way but I do have a problem with the movie. In George Lucas' quest to stop the epic series at 6 total movies, and to make this title less then four hours long, he squeezed at least two movies worth of story into 2 hours and 20 minutes. Anakin's seduction to the dark side lasted all of 3 minutes, he had no real struggle within that he really should have had. I was dissapointing that they did not spend more time on this as it is a pivital point to the entire saga. Also the ending seemed like it was just kind of thrown together to end the movie. As far as the action scenes, they were very good. The lightsaber duels were excellent. Like I said though, there was much to the story that needed to be expanded and that was truly dissapointing to me. Will I see this movie again, you bet your sweet ass!
