Unexpected fun

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2005)

This was fun. Everything about the movie was fun. It's what going to the movies is all about. The acting in this film was very flat at points, but George pulls you into a world of power excitement and leaves you breathless by the sheer scope of the world. The story here is brutally simple, but closer to the originals than episodes 1 or 2. This film, I believe, is what George wanted to make when he was thinking about Starwars. The sheer photography will leave you breathless, and the scope of things is absolutely massive. When you think about how this whole movie was shot in digital, you truly have to give George a hand. By far this is the best of the prequels. All-in-all, a fun night at the movies.
