I watched this movie on Halloween with my friends because it's a true "Horror Film"

Rating: 5/10 (26 November 2009)

Really, it is.
The pity though is that it could have been a great movie had it been directed better and much more organized.
Hayden makes Anakin look like a sissy in this movie. And it's not because of the love story.
The way I see it, they should have made Anakin more of a bad-ass, wrestling with good and evil. None of that was done well at all. Though it could have been.
Characters are introduced sloppily, such as Dooku/Tyrannus. The jokes are cheesy and the special effects look photoshopped. The child actor for Boba Fett sucked.
There are only slight breaths of air in this terrible ocean of bad film making. One feels poignant when Anakin runs into Watto after all these years. John William's music saves some scenes, especially when Anakin zooms off on his speeder in search of his mother.
This should have been the key point in the prequels, where Anakin leans towards the dark side, and in the third he completes it. But here he's just whining and bitching and moaning for 2 and a half hours.
The delivery of things is just bad. Bad, bad, bad. Cringe-worthy.
