Pretty good but ending was lacking

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2005)

Overall I was impressed with the entire montage of action and sequences in the movie.
I believe the success of this movie depended upon the success of Episodes 4,5,&6. I wanted so badly for this movie to tie into the last three movies that I gave a lot more effort to enjoy this film.
The positives: Great special affects. Fantastic fight scenes
The negatives: -Acting seemed somewhat bland from Anakin and Mace Windu. I personally thought the choice of Samuel Jackson was the worst decision ever made. How do you make someone who sounds like their from Harlem convince the audience they should be a Jedi Master? Can't be done. -***SPOILER*** The scene where Anakin has the Darth Vader suit put on for the first time and his reaction to that he killed his wife was pathetic. Can anyone say "Frankenstein"?
I've read other comments that Hayden Christenten did not do justice to the character. However I think one should not confuse being "wooden" to bringing a confused and tormented character to Anakin.
Overall I would pay to see the movie again, which I rarely would do for any movie.
