3 Very Good films and 3 Average films

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2005)

I have just got back and I am left confused.
This film was far from "redeeming" Lucas. Before he made this he should have been banned from using Digital effects. Once again he has overdosed on lovely scenery and over-complicated action scenes.
The film moves so slowly at the start and drags along until the end when it suddenly speeds up and tries to join up all the dots.
I personally left the cinema very disappointed. It is nowhere near the original films despite spending millions on needless effects. As for the story, well it is very predictable and makes little impact. The film wastes the "moment" where all the other characters are brought into the story.
As a huge Star Wars fan I am now questioning whether I will buy this last DVD since it has very little to encourage me to watch it time and time again.
You have to go and see it because that is the way they have designed the whole thing, but when you go just don't expect too much.
Verdict: Too much effort into effects and VERY little thought into the story and direction. 5/10
