Where is Darth Vader when you need one !

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2007)

Simply, Briefly and Frankly..
I remember watching it while my studying at the high cinema institute of Egypt. I was at the theater with some of my colleagues, and after we hardly finished it, we were truly angry, to the extent that one of us shouted: "What a Junk!".
(Ewan McGregor) is no Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is just a modern star who can make money if you put his name on any movie. (Hayden Christensen) is one of the worst, hmmm... but (Ian McDiarmid), the man with the most disgusting performance, was here also, so one of them was the worst actor anyway (if not both!).
The most painful thing was that you wouldn't understand ANYTHING. (George Lucas) and (Jonathan Hales) wrote a script that, save them, no one understood (perhaps they didn't either!). So with the weak performances, the huge momentum of CGI, the fast pace, the too serious, too stray, dialogue, and the many many story lines--I felt all the time a nightmarish maze that the movie got lost in it, and forced us to have the same fate as well!
Putting in mind that I love the first saga, especially (The Empire Strikes Back - 1980) which was, and still is, one of the greatest action movies of all time--I think that the fans of the 1970s and 1980s trilogy will hate this new one as much as me. In my humble opinion, any lover of at least this prequel (if there is any!) will forget it, because it's adolescently made. Maybe some of whoever watched it while being a kid, will remember it someday, however for sensitive recalling of their childhood, only!
Things I loved? Are you kidding me?! Even the climactic fencing was between cool and laughable! But let's say that (Natalie Portman) was the sole real thing in this; she is tender, and talented, though too little reason to face that tremendous stupidity monster, or survive that flood of torrential nonsense!
Long story short, Darth Vader should have avenged on the makers of this!
