Revenge of the Sith

Watched Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith last night and it was better than the other two, of which there is no doubt. The fight scenes were excellent and the storyline was darker and tighter and not frivolous (i.e. no Jar Jar Binks) or other silly characters.

However, Anakin's fall from grace was too easy in my view and he had plenty of time to pull back but I guess you can't do all that in a 3 hour film.

The fall of the Jedi was too quick in my view but use of the clone soldiers was impressive and Ewan M was great as Obi-Wan. Could have done with seeing more of Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) and some more linking themes with A New Hope. Good ones include the presence of Boba Fett, I mean there are now 1000s of clones of his dad running around. What does he think about that?

Not bad a film though, especially after the disappointment of the first two.
