Misplaced Melodrama

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2015)

Viewed as a whole, this film is a melodramatic bore filled with silliness. Hayden rants about sand irritating him and Natalie's lines are even worse, and Lucas had assistance this time with the screenplay. A bounty hunter decides to assassinate the queen with insects, rather then a gun. In an attempt to conceal the death star plans, Count Dooku just slips them in his pocket. There are awe inspiring moments however, the arena fight at the end, combined with the final battle between the Count and Yoda, are fantastic examples of what the rest of the movie should have pulled from. Plot holes are in abundance, and characters are still invisible, but as long as the dazzling effects and impressive sword fights are present, this will always be a worthwhile watch. In conclusion, Lucas should stay away from the writing sector, and should learn what a character is.
