First of all, this was a pretty fantastic idea. I've got a few things to say about Revenge of the Sith, but I'll save it for tomorrow. Initial thoughts: I agree with JB. It is unquestionably better than Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones, but that was such a low bar to clear that it doesn't make Sith a good movie. Problems abound. The philosophical foundations of the force, the Jedi order and the Sith order are inconsistent at best. And the dialogue continues to be awful. The good thing was that there was less of it this time around. Almost as if Lucas finally realized he was terrible at writing dialogue and started extracting entire scenes and replacing them with lightsaber fights. But it wasn't all hackery and flashy effects. Some parts of the movie managed to stumble into high art, that same state of filmmaking inspirado that Peter Jackson could tap seemingly at will with Lord of the Rings. I'll speak more of these anon.
