Not total trash - but close!

Rating: 1/10 (19 May 2005)

Come On, we know that Samuel L. Jackson, Natalie Portman and Christopher Lee can do something called "acting" which you would not believe from watching this film. All the lines are delivered in a monotone deadpan that even cut rate actors could deliver better.
This movie has no soul, and in a quest to try and explain every single detail of the second trilogy in one movie, George Lucas has ruined both works.
I will say that it had excellent special effects, and the musical score was good aside from when it included modified songs from the original trilogy. Either create a new score or use the originals, but don't mangle something that has captured the minds and hearts of millions.
Don't waste your money.
