Episode III
Ohhhhhhhh yeaaahhhhhhh. Now THAT was what I was looking for. R and I just offloaded the muppet and went to see Episode III after a nice dinner in ackland st St Kilda. The film absolutely unequivocally rocks. In terms of storyline it ties everything up beautifully – including finally answering the question of what really happened to Obi Wan when Vader stuck him down. The film was awesome – very dark, much action and a pure fantastical star wars feel. The portrayal of Anakin’s descent was magnificent, and Hayden Christopher himself proved to be a very good choice – he was stellar in the role.
And of course the ultimate moment, when Darth Vader’s mask was lowered into place, the helmet sealed and his breathing began – it was perfectly done. You have to imagine that they spent a looooooooooooong time getting that few seconds exactly right 
All in all I am a huge fan – it’s restored my faith utterly in the star wars mythos and I’m desperately looking forward to the next three (which apparently are coming but won’t be directed by George Lucas). In fact if I had it on DVD I would be watching it again right now. Or if there had been another showing I would have convinced R to come watch it again immediately…
