A lazy effort...

Rating: 3/10 (19 May 2005)

Revenge of the Sith is best described as a lazy film.
George Lucas uses the minimum amount of plot and effort to achieve the transformation of Skywalker to Vader and proves yet again that he should have given up writing screenplays after original Star Wars movies, he hasn't made a good film since.
Like so many modern movies, Revenge of the Sith has good special effects, good enough that some times you don't even realise that Yoda is a CGI character. However, lavish special effects should not be used to paste over bad acting and a terrible plot.
Go to see this movie if you like the typical big budget modern movie full of big explosions and eye-popping special effects, but with wooden acting and a complete absence of an intelligent plot. I was expecting something more from this film, only to be disappointed yet again.
