In a pretty spoiler laden early review Kevin Smith has given his unreserved thumbs up to Revenge of the Sith. It appears he was invited to the ranch for an early viewing. If you don't want to read the spoilers I've cut out some of the better quotes that don't give anything away:
http://viewaskew.com/news/sith/
"Revenge of the Sith" is, quite simply, fucking awesome. This is the "Star Wars" prequel the haters have been bitching for since "Menace" came out, and if they don't cop to that when they finally see it, they're lying."
"this flick is so satisfyingly tragic, you'll think you're watching "Othello" or "Hamlet"."
" Look, this is a movie I was genetically predisposed to love. I remember being eight years old, and reading in "Starlog" that Darth Vader became the half-man/half-machine he was following a duel with Ben Kenobi that climaxed with Vader falling into molten lava. Now, twenty six years later, I finally got to see that long-promised battled - and it lived up to any expectation I still held. I was sad to see the flick end, but happy to know it's not the end of the "Star Wars" universe entirely (I've read stuff about a TV show...). "Sith" doesn't happen;
"Sith" rules. "
