Looks great... Errr. That all there is.

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2005)

My vote history for Star Wars goes 9, 10, 8, 5, 5 (for IV V VI I II) and 3 for this utter travesty of a film. It looks beautiful. Almost everything, apart from some of the Clone Troopers looks solid, and real. Pity about the dialogue and script, acting and delivery, not a single word of which was remotely believable. The plot was OK. Much better than I and II.
I can't understand how in this film (and to a slightly lesser extent the other two) the human aspect of it was made so badly. Surely people watching rough cuts, the filming, you name it, would have spotted just how awful it was going to be? Still, I guess the stills look great, and that must have been what was considered important.
I'm looking forward to the Special Editions of these, where George Lucas redoes the rickety script with something (anything!) better, and CGIs in some acting.
