REVENGE OF THE SITH

2005 ***** 145 mins.

Finally, the moment we have all been waiting for is here. We finally get to see how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. Well, it was more than worth the wait. Although the beginning of the film was a bit too comical, one can't help but be completely astounded at the audacity and emotional impact this film contains. It is guaranteed that chills will be sent through your body and a tear or two streaming down your cheek. After a juvenile performance in Episode II, Hayden Christensen has refined his character and become a truly creepy Anakin/Vader. Although you may know everything that has to happen in this film, it still takes you by surprise.
Rated PG-13 for sustained sequences of sci-fi action/violence.
