Re: Personal Episode 3 Reviews

I'll be the first to admit that the movie is really cheesy in some places and that some of the dialogue is downright awful.

But that's not the point.
SPOILERS GALORE!!!
<pseudo-soabox>
The point is this question: "Did the movie successfully tell the story that needed to be told?" Let's see:
1) Resolution of the Clone Wars *check*
2) Death of Count Dooku *check*
3) Death of General Grievous *check*
4) Revelation of Palpatine as Darth Sidious *check*
5) Anakin "converting" to the Dark Side *check*
6) Galaxy-wide Jedicide *check*
7) "Cleansing" of the Jedi Temple *check*
8) Birth of Luke and Leia *check*
9) Death of Padmé *check*
10) Obi-wan and Anakin duel to the bitter end *check*
11) Anakin severly wounded in duel with Obi-wan. This must somehow involve a river of lava (or so the books say) *check*
12) Rebirth of Anakin as Darth Vader in full scuba regalia *check*
13) Construction begins on the Death Star *check*
14) Luke and Leia split up and sent to Tatooine and Alderaan (respectively) *check*
15) Yoda and Obi-wan go into exile on Dagobah and Tatooine (respectively) *check*
16) Reformation of the Republic into the Empire *check*

All of those took place. Therefore the story that needed to be told WAS told and Revenge of the Sith therefore qualifies as a "good movie". It's a completely different subject as to whether you thought the execution of the movie was good.
