Revenge of the Sith lives up to expectations

The New Yorker: The Critics: The Current Cinema: "The general opinion of %u201CRevenge of the Sith%u201D seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, "The Phantom Menace" and"Attack of the Clones." True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion."

So, the latest Star Wars movie lives up to all expectations. Now, if he had any sense or ethics left, Mr. Lucas should be paying me to go and see it. Nothing extravagant. I'll accept the price of seeing Episode I and Episode II as reimbursement and, as long as I can take my Palm into the theatre, I'm totally happy to go and see Episode III. By the way, this is an excellent review. Anyone looking to see the latest Lucas disaster should certainly read it first.
