TheBoost said:his talk about editing and how shitty dialogue scenes are were EXTREMELY on the money. Kudos.

Exactly! This was definitely one of the strengths of the review.

I enjoyed RLM's latest offering immensely.

I think the TPM review was mostly a kind of angry fanboy rant, parroting what we all didn't like and in some cases bending over backward to invent things to be angry about ("How did the protocol droid know they were Jedi?")

But this ROTS review, especially part three, actually crosses the line where it's practically a textbook on filmmaking. I feel I'd be a better filmmaker after I watched this.

For discussions sake, I do disagree that the long opening shot is somehow not impressive just because CGI imagery is now ubiquitous in cinema. I think the opening shot, starting with the two fighters and the slow reveal of just how HUGE that battle is one of the better action sequences in the film and some of the best CGI in the PT.
