the worst of the saga

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 2005)

I felt that this film was a big let down. It started pretty good, with the explosion of Senator Amidala's Ship, and the chase through Coruscant, but I felt that the love story was too cheesy, and the scenes were copied from the original trilogy. Eg- The Obi-Wan / Jango Fett chase through the asteroid field (cloned from Empire strikes back), the clone fight (Return of the Jedi), and the Dooku/Anakin fight (Empire) when Vader cuts off Luke's right hand, Dooku cuts off Anakin's right arm. But there are some good points: The clone troops being ready for deployment was magnificent cgi, and the fact that Mace Windu lopped off the rather wooden Temuera Morrison's (Jango Fett) head, and when Yoda has finally been turned to cgi instead of the hardly moveable puppet. In total: a cheesy retread.
