Solid conclusion that could have been a bit better

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2005)

I'm not a Star Wars enthusiast (i.e., nerd) so I'm not a purist by any means. But I was a bit disappointed in this movie, in how Anakin's turn was portrayed so dispassionately and uncharacteristically. It seemed contrived and could have been executed better.
Aside from that, the movie tied up the loose ends effectively, and provided nice explanations for certain events in the sequels. If the first two movies weren't so awful, this could have been better...but with a poor base to build on, this movie barely lived up to its potential. For that reason, I give it a 7/10. It certainly does NOT deserve a place on the IMDb top 100.
