    Is there some kind of Star Wars movie coming out or something? I haven't heard much about it...is it supposed to be good?

    Yes, and yes. You gotta get out of the cave more often, man.

    (assuming you weren't joking)

    Someone's sarcasm meter is broken.

    I just read a review saying it's the best, darkest and most violent of the series.

    I didn't really love the last 2 -- but watching Anakin become Darth Vader is intriguing to me. I may see this one at the teaters.

    Are they including the original series or just the prequels?

    I have been waiting for this week for over a year so I am pumped up. I am going Saturday and I just hope that the reviews are right

    A couple of early reviews are disappointing. They said the dialogue ruins the movie.

    I just saw a review that called Ep. III "predicatable", and I'm thinking .... well, duh!

    News flash:

    Annakin turns into a bad guy (Darth Vader)
    Annankin and Padme will have two kids (Luke and Leia)
    An evil empire will be formed.
    Yoda won't die
    Annakin won't die
    Obi Wan won't die
    the emperor won't die
    C3PO and R2D2 won't die

    Sorry if these 'spoilers' ruin the movie for you, but... yeah, one should expect some predictability. dumb review.

    You forgot:
    Annankin divorces Padme, Padme marries Anakin and Anakin gets stuck with the CHILD SUPPORT monkey.
    ;)

    Well, IMDB.com has it at an 8.1/10 overall. If this holds up once it gets enough votes, it would be around the 100th greatest movie of all time, which is pretty damn impressive.

    I'll always take the reviews of the common fans over some artsy-fartsy critic any day...

    That's perfectly consistent with the 81% tomato-meter from RottenTomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star_wars_3/). That's pretty damn good.

    There was a review posted here a few weeks ago that said it was the darkest of all 6 movies. Even darker than Empire.

    I can't wait.
