I went to see Star Wars, Episode III, Revenge of the Sith last night. I thought the first 90 minutes were pretty bad. The effects were great - I especially the attention to detail in the backgrounds. But the plot was weak. I just didn't believe the final conversion of Anakin to the Dark Side. It seems like he just flipped a switch and decided to be evil. I think it could have been handled a lot more skillfully. Once that part was over with, though, the movie got pretty good.
So now it's got me thinking - why was I so disappointed with the movie? I think I actually liked Episode I better than this one, even though critically Episode III got better reviews. Has my taste in movies changed since then? Did I have too high expectations for this installment? Am I just getting older?
It must have been my high expectations. Surely I haven't changed. :-)
