A great film, no doubt.

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2005)

Frankly, this is a great movie. Like most movies, it has flaws. However, many of the problems in the previous two films have been fixed in this one. One thing that clearly puts it over Attack of the Clones is its acting. Ewan was great in the previous film, but is even better here. The same with Samuel L. Jackson. Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman have vastly improved. Thanks to James, you can feel Vader's pain as he destroys the medical room. Ian is great, as usual. As far as acting goes, this movie has no problem. However, one serious flaw is the portrayal of General Grievous. His constant coughing is something I can stand. However, his terrible accent is endlessly annoying. Also, after seeing the Clone Wars micro-series, I was pumped up to see Grievous in action on film, but was let down by the fact that he is killed by a single Jedi. In the end, this movie is not the best Star Wars movie, but I definitely place it before the two prequels.
