Objective Overview

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2005)

I'm not a SW fan but I really enjoined episodes IV, V and VI mostly because the idea of the movie was so original. Episodes I and II, if you ask me, were ones of the worst disappointments ever, the story was bad, the acting was bad, the only thing that made the movies worth it were the special effects. You'll probably think that I'm going to say that episode III was the best one yet, well.... think again. It wasn't. I started watching the movie with a big YAWN, if you think that a couple of ships and lasers make a movie these days you probably have no idea what good movies are all about. Sure the special effects were great but it would have been more exciting if I haven't seen similar scenes all before. You see, I play a lot of video games and believe me when I say that Lucas should have been more careful with the battle scenes. If you have an extended knowledge of storyline you'll know that the episode III story has a smell of "deja vu" from a mile away. The reason Anakin turns to the Dark Side is very obvious thus you end watching the movie only for the special effects. As if thing couldn't get any worse the acting is very poorly made... the only one who made an effort in bringing the movie to life is Ewan McGregor, which did a hell of a job in his role. I never realized how "wise" was Yoda until this movie, I mean he never says anything that would help the heroes, he only says things that anybody, and I mean anybody, already know about.
