The Force has left the building

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2002)

From what I had heard, this should be the best episode of the first three. But regrettably I have to say, it did not out perform episode 1.
Ewan McGregor had to carry this movie and he really tried it, but with an 'actor' like Hayden Christensen it is almost impossible to make up for Hayden's terrible performance.
"The star was chosen by director George Lucas because he felt that Hayden has raw talent and more sexual chemistry with actress Natalie Portman." Quote from mini biography of Hayden. Well I didn't see any chemistry between the two, nothing compared to the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in episode 5. Hayden and Natalie just lack that kind of finesse.
And I am still bothered by the digital Yoda. It is not realistic enough, not if you compare the digital Yoda to the Yoda used in episode 5. Sometimes digital effects are still not realistic enough.
I'm really sorry to say because I really had higher hopes, but somehow, somehow The Force has left the building.
