The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight 5.0 Stars
The Dark Knight is more than just a comic book movie and a Batman movie, it's a well made crime drama filled with excellent well-developed characters and excellent action sequences. The entire cast does an excellent job and Heath Ledger is excellent as the chaotic psychopath, Joker. Years from now when people look back on the Batman films, they will remember Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, instead of Tim Burton?s carnival goth films and Joel Schumacher?s neon, nipple loving lightshow.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005,  PG-13)
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 5.0 Stars
Not only does Revenge of the Sith excel in being greatly superior than Episode I & II, it ranks up there with the original trilogy. The acting and dialogue have greatly improved over the last two installments, the emotions feel more real than forced, and the action is at it's best. Revenge of the Sith is a fine piece of cinema to bring both trilogies together.
