It's not *that* good!

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2005)

Come on, 8.2/10? That's the current running average on IMDb. The movie is *not* that good! The acting was bad, again, and special effects were too much, again, and the whole thing felt very contrived. The opening sequence with Palpatine's rescue was the worst opening sequence of *any* of the Star Wars movies to date. Of the three "new" movies, I'd give my nod to Phantom Menace as the best, Revenge of the Sith second, and Attack of the clones third. My favorite is ultimately still the 1977 original, although there were elements of Empire and Jedi that I'd rate higher. The best light saber duel is hands down the battle with Darth Maul. The worst is probably this latest effort, with them battling it out on the lava flow. That was even funnier than the Yoda/Dooku battle in Attack of the Clones.
