Initial ROTS Reviews Hit the Internet 475
Trunks writes "The first reviews of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith have started to trickle onto the Net. Reviews are posted at ComingSoon.net, Ain't It Cool News, Variety, and there are three separate reviews at TheForce.net. The current issue of Time magazine has a review as well. The reviews have all been positive so far, and the consensus appears to be that this is the best film of the prequels and it should satisfy fans who were unhappy with the first two."

Dissapointed... (Score:5, Funny)
Yoda in a lot of action, more cool bad guys, and no Jar Jar (well, at least no Jar Jar dialogue)
You see, I searched through the TFA's and what is missing is very dissapointing:
Jar Jar dies in a hideous 5 min torture scene where Annie cuts him slowly into kebabs with his lightsaber.
That scene alone would have made the movie. Hopefully, someone will add it later.

Oh boy! Oh boy! Does this mean we get to see Jar-Jar Binks die in a horrible way? Will he be killed by Anakin? Personally, it would make my day if I heard Jar Jar say something like this:
"Ahhhh!!! Mee-sa skins-a burning! AAHHHH!!!"

I agree, I think Lucas should remake the first two.
Don't worry. If history is any guide, he will.

This may be funny to some people, but it can lead to a very real, and tragic, experience. When the Fellowship of the Ring opened up, I saw it at midnight in the Loews on Boston Common. There were definitely people that took it way too seriously, but everyone seemed like they were having fun, so whatever. They let us into the theater proper about a half hour before the show. Everyone was cheering and people were in a jolly mood. "Rob" came out to tell us that he was very happy we all came to his theater and that he is very excited that we are excited and says "if there is anything I can do, let me know." Everyone clapped and Rob left. There was no air conditioning in the theater, which is not really a problem in December, but it was noticeable that the air wsn't "fresh." After about 15 minutes of hundreds of (MIT) people in the theater, we start to notice the odor. Clearly not everyone notices. Most in fact have no clue. They continue laughing at the "ents" in the audience and checking out their promo Lord of the Rings cards. But we did see some people looking around and wrinkling their nose. Five more minutes go by and more people are making faces. I decide its time to do something about this. I leave the theater and find Rob. "Hey Rob, real glad you guys are doing his. Everyone is pretty excited. One thing: it's uh... kinda warm in there... and uhh... well, some of these people haven't showered in a few days... could you.. uh... turn on the AC or something." Rob laughs and says "sure." 5 minutes before the movie starts, the AC kicks in. 5 more minutes and the smell has (virtually) disappated and everyone enjoyed the movie.
Let this be a lesson. Please, if you are reading slashdot, do your part on movie-night. Take a shower. It will be appreciated.

Double bonus points if there's a 10-second scene with no dialog or other characters except for Jar-Jar putting a laser pistol in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

Laser pistol in the mouth woudl be too quick and easy and unsatisfying.
Let him fall into the lava pit and be horribly burned and scream for a few minutes before someone goes down and puts a couple in him to shut him up ala Austin Powers:

BAM!
