Don't ask Questions

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2005)

The movie is well acted, especially by Ewan MacGregor. His performance is amazing, as he tries to support Anakin and not appear as the enemy to his troubled Padawan.
However, don't ask questions. Sit back, and relax. There are several major plot holes, and well, I believe Anakin's "switch" to Darth Vader to be somewhat unrealistic. I don't think that even Darth Vader could have easily killed those young children, and Anakin definitely couldn't.
The killing of the rest of the Jedi was extremely well done, and I was very pleased with how they 'individualised' each Jedi's death, as befitting the noble order.
I was somewhat disappointed that Natalie Portman didn't get a bigger role. What small sections she did get were acted well, although I was disappointed by her clinging dependence to Anakin.
Hayden Christenson shrugs off most of his wooden acting that was in the second Star Wars movie, and delivers a good performance. Overall, it was well acted. The cinematography and Special FX, are, as always, outstanding. My advice is to sit back, relax, and don't ask about Anakin/Darth Vader.
