A flawed masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2020)

Many have been rather unkind to George Lucas's prequel trilogy to Star Wars over the years. This film is proof even as late as 2005, that he could still muster up something great. Anakin portrayed by Hayden Christensen, while somewhat wooden, can still deliver a performance of a fallen Jedi. The story is far more fleshed out than either episodes I and II. It seems as though there was much more of a story to tell this time. Unfortunately, Episodes I and II have overshadowed Episode III, leaving many to regard this film to be just as disappointing as those were. Recommended for those who truly love Star Wars.
