Good but not that good

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2005)

Just like all Star Wars fans I waited in anticipation for the release of this, the final instalment of the Star Wars Saga.
To say I was not happy with it, would be a lie. But also to say I was very happy with it would also be a lie. Yet again with all the prequels there are way to many special effects for my likening, (Only one shot in the whole film is a location shot the rest are blue screen) yes the Lightsaber fight are the fastest seen yet, and yes finally Darth Sidious gets to wield his Lightsaber to deadly effect. These are the only things that make this film watch able, the dialogue is dreary at best, the conversion of Anakin to the Dark Side is so short, one minute he is good then the next he is bad! Chewbacca isn't in it long enough to deserve all the hype he got, General Grievous is very unconvincing as a baddie, he's just looks so fake, watching him with many Lightsaber's was fun though! The story.. Now that was good, a wise move by Lucas. But it still leaves so many unanswered questions, like, how does Leia remember her Mother and yet Luke does not. Why has C3PO got a silver leg in Episodes IV, V ,VI, also R2D2 seems to lose the ability to fly in the later episodes, what's all that about to.
All that said I would highly recommend anyone seeing this film 5*
