Should be 10/10, but so many issues

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2020)

POSITIVES:
1) Ewan McGregor is terrific as Obi-Wan, especially when he's screaming and crying at Anakin after their duel, it gets me every time
2) There is some good intercutting of scenes in this film. Examples include intercutting Anakin and Obi-Wan's duel with Yoda and Palpatine's duel, intercutting Padme's operation with Anakin's operation, and intercutting Mace Windu and Palpatine's duel with Anakin's unrest and mental turmoil in the Jedi temple
3) The film is as dark and bleak as a film with this story needs to be. There is next to no childish humour, which is good as I usually hate the childish humour in Star Wars films
NEGATIVES:
1) Anakin goes from "what have I done?!" To "I pledge myself to your teachings" in about 5 seconds flat, it's so abrupt
2) There's some truly atrocious dialogue like "you're so beautiful" "it's only because I'm so in love"
3) There is such an overuse of awful CGI, which looks like it came from a bad computer game
4) Everything around Padme's pregnancy confuses me so much every time I watch this film. At the start it seems like Anakin has been away for years but he can't have been away that long because Padme is pregnant with his child. Then by the end of the film she's on the verge of giving birth even though a few scenes earlier she was barely showing signs of being pregnant. Then she dies during child birth because she's lost the will to live?? You're about to make your kids orphans is that not a reason to live?!?!
