Only watch if easily amused by bright lights and loud noises.

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2005)

This may be technically the worst blockbuster that I have ever seen. the film relies on fairly impressive SFX to the exclusion of plot, characterisation, decent cinematography and lines that don't cause death by laughter. The acting veers from hammy (Ewan MeGregor) to wooden (Hayden Christian). It features some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard e.g. (from anakin and padme) You're so beautiful.
That's because I'm in love! No, that's because I'm in love with you! I probably got that a bit wrong since my brain seems to have activated a purge of all memories of this abomination.
The supposedly 'darker' story is no darker that some episodes of Spongebob, and Lucas seems to have run out of films to plagiarize.
All in all, if you are Star Wars fan you will love this regardless of content. If you like films that have plot, originality and decent acting, please give this a miss. It is nothing more that an advert for Industrial Lights and Magic.
