Rotten movie - unbearable direction and script

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2006)

Special Effects? Lets start there... because they are good. Very good. Not perfect -- they seem just a little too CG at times. But overall the film delivers on the visuals.
After that its all downhill.
The dialog is wooden, the plot is absurd, and the dramatic sequences and twists leave you shaking your head in disgust.
"Inconsistent" is the best way to describe this movie. And I'm not talking "his cane switches hands when the camera changes" I'm talking the fundamental story just doesn't make any sense.
Some examples (spoilers): It seems some Jedi masters can take on the Sith Lord and at least hold their own... other Jedi masters are dispatched by a couple stormtroopers.
ObiWan seems to go from "Jedi master extrordinaire" when Anakin's not around yet switches to "Jedi least likely to survive" whenever they're working together.
Padme apparently dies simply from loss of hope, yet her last words are a decidedly hopeful proclamation.
Its just inexcusably bad writing.
Thank heavens the series is finally over.
