I cannot believe I paid $8.00 to see this!

Rating: 2/10 (10 June 2005)

I am at a disadvantage here as I have only seen this film once, and that was enough. I do not think I could sit through another showing of this galactic mello-drams without first being administered a couple of cc's of morphine or some other pain relieving drug!!! Quite frankly, I even nodded off a couple of times during this film from sheer boredom. I have to admit, I am more of a Star Trek fan than that of Srar Wars, although I enjoyed the original Star Wars films much more than the later three.
Anakin's decent into the dark side reminded me of an adolescent who could not make up his mind if he wanted to be good or bad. The character Palpatine is the only one who really knew what he wanted while Obi Won was fairly convincing at playing Mr. Goody Two-Shoes.
The action shots were good along with the computer animations, but the plot of this hapless galactic tale left me wondering why I even bothered seeing it! Star War fans will no doubt castigate me for my review, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this film to anyone unless they are dying to waste $8.00 or more and have their intelligence insulted.
I gave the film a 2 instead of a 1 just to be charitable.
