Revenge Of The Sith - the first 10 minutes review

“Fox logo and Lucasfilm logo and ‘A long time ago’ as normal… then the
title and the opening scroll that we’ve all read. Then the camera pans down and
we see a top view of a Star Destroyer. All seems quiet. Then two jedi
starfighters fly onto the screen. I was amazed at how long the camera stays with
the starfighters. It was unlike anything we’ve seen in any STAR WARS movie to
date. Poetically, we’re descending into this movie, foreshadowing Anakin’s
eventual descent. As the starfighters fly across the hull of the Star Destroyer,
the camera then reveals to us that we’re above Coruscant and that there’s a hell
of a battle going on. Much destruction. Many lasers and then we finally close in
and see that Anakin and R2 are flying the yellow starfighter. Obi-Wan and R4 are
flying the red starfighter. They engage in the battle, getting vulture droids
shooting missiles at them. Obi-Wan getting hit with buzz droids that are tearing
his ship apart. I realize that I’m also hearing the new John William’s music as
my ears detected a quote from a bit of music in A NEW HOPE. Anakin says a
classic line from the original trilogy… He says, ‘Here’s where the fun begins’
and he tries to help knock off the buzz droids from Obi-Wan’s fighter. As they
close in on General Grevious’s ship, with Obi-Wan’s fighter not capable of
landing properly, Obi-Wan says, ‘I have a bad feeling about this.’
They fly
into the hanger and the shot of Obi-Wan landing and leaping out of his fighter
is going to blow audiences away. Oddly enough, I will say that the audience
reaction was the strongest to how R2 gets out of Anakin’s starfighter. You’ll
know what I’m talking about when you see it. It’s cool the way he springs
himself free. After they take their lightsabers and knock out all the battle
droids on the landing deck, Anakin says, ‘I sense Count Dooku’… Obi-Wan says,
“I sense a trap”… Anakin says, “What should we do about it?”… Obi-Wan grins and says, “Let’s spring the trap…”

Hope I, Shit, it is not….
