Episode 3 is not worth the $

Rating: 3/10 (19 May 2005)

There were some saving grace moments in this installment of the saga. Many of the things that went wrong were the acting was horrible and the script was written by a 6 year old. Everything came so easy to all of the characters it was mind numbingly boring. Luke and Lea's names seemed to be just plucked out of Padme's rear end. I may see it again in a few weeks, but at this moment I am very disappointed in Gearge Lucas.
I am a huge fan of the original 3 and marginally enjoyed the first two prequels. I think that Mr. Lucas has lost his original vision and made these prequels for the fans. I was told that this new one would be returning to the original spirit of the first 3. I didn't see much of that, but I did see some good things. Yoda was awesome as always and Ian McDiarmid gave a great performance as Palpatine/Sidious. All the other actors gave unoriginal performances and many of the scenes between Anakin and Padme were not that romantic or serious. They actually had the audience laughing at the actors.
My overall look at the movie might have been marred by the fact that I saw it really late and was tired from sitting at the theater for 11 hours. Our group was pretty angry when we left and had to go out for an early breakfast to forget about the experience we just had.
I caution you all to maybe go to a matinée of this movie so you won't have to spent that much money on it.
