Special Effects+Average Acting+interesting Story=Flirting With Success

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2005)

George Lucas is not an amazing director, he has been and never will be. The shots are very simple and there aren't any shots that truly capture the moment, this is due to the fact that Lucas relies on Special effects and the Star Wars plot to make him seem like a God. He is a great writer a director, and hopefully if he makes the next three (God I hope not), he leaves it to someone else. Maybe if the acting wasn't so damned stiff, you would care about the characters, especially when Padame was trying to get "Annie" to stop his Dark Side pursuits. It was just stupid, and the cheesy moment, the one that sent me over the top was when Lord Vader first rises and is informed he killed his wife, and he steps out like Godzilla with his new legs, throws his arms back and screams in a Godzilla like fashion. Damn you Lucas, damn you for your trickery, using special effects make nerds wet dreams come true (Albiet it did look abso-f**king-lutely fantastic, it just lacked in every other aspect) Natalie Portman is hot, in a weird pregnant woman/expecting mom sort of way, and no I'm not a pervert, I swear.
