A.O. Scott in The New York Times generally likes “Revenge of the Sith;” indeed, if I read him correctly he thinks it ranks with “The Empire Strikes Back” as the best of the six “Star Wars” films. Some of his keenest observations:
“Mr. Lucas’s indifference to two fairly important aspects of moviemaking — acting and writing — is remarkable.” …
“Yoda, the spry green Jedi master voiced by Frank Oz, some of his finest work in this film does.” …
“[T]he sheer beauty, energy and visual coherence of “Revenge of the Sith” is nothing short of breathtaking.” …
“Mr. Lucas has surpassed Peter Jackson [blashphemy to some NewMexiKen readers, I know] and Steven Spielberg in his exploitation of the new technology’s aesthetic potential.”
Sounds to me like it’s worth $9.
Frank Oz’s greatest roll was the prison clerk in The Blues Brothers.
