The only bad Star Wars movie.

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2012)

It's worse than the Holiday Special. At least that had good characters and the life-saving cartoon.
Anyway, the movie starts up to the ship landing and oh god, EVERYTHING is CGI, I'm serious! R2 looks CGI, the platform is CGI! Oh god, and it just looks way too clear to be realistic. It has too much quality, unrealistic quality. There are few bits where the CGI is useful like Yoda(the Episode I puppet was awful). Then there are the characters. I rly liked the portrayal of Obi-Wan. His demeanor has clearly begun to change, he no longer acts like a background generic Jedi put to main character role for some reason, but he isn't completely relaxed yet either. That was good. And then comes(Dun Dun DUUUUUUN) the romance. AWFUL! I HATED EVERY MOMENT. It was soooo bad and annoying, it got way in the real plot! The only mercy was that Lucas deleted the scenes where Padme and Anakin go visit Padme's family, thank god. But it's still bad. And Anakin's portrayal is too whiny. I don't remember Luke being a quarter as whiny as Anakin. As for C-3PO and R2-D2, they get a few nice nostalgic moments. Jar Jar is pushed way back to minor yet important character(sigh) and Qui-Gon(my fav prequel guy) is demoted from main character to two words(Anakin! Anakin!) and a little conversation between Dooku and Obi-Wan. Now to Dooku: awesome villain. He lacks the action style of Darth Maul, but makes it up with an elegant style, showing far more control over the Force than Maul did and thus he's a greater threat(that's how he defeated Obi-Wan in 10 seconds). Christopher Lee is a great actor. And finally, Palpatine. He looks sick for being in this movie.
It's bad movie but has great moments. Unfortunately, it lacks the real Star Wars element that all the other episodes had.
