Goog to See, but still a poor movie

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2005)

This is an important movie to see if you enjoyed the other movies in the star wars series, you will probably enjoy it too, however that does not stop it from being a average movie. From the get go i felt like i was watching someone playing the Starwars video game. Immortal people, infinite strength and energy.
The script in many scenes were poor, Anakin and Obi were betrayed very badly in some scenes, the use of slideshow transitions between scenes quite annoying. Lacked chemistry and feeling for the the Anakin/Padmé relationship. Directing was very sloppy in parts and there was absolutely no feeling or heart in this movie, he made it very difficult to feel sorrow for the dead, dieing endangered, by distancing us from the plot so much we just don't care. This movie is very reminiscent of Starship Troopers 2.
It definitely would have been better if Spielberg(Saving Provate Ryan) or even Terrence Malick (Thin Red Line) were part of the direction related to war and casualties of war.
Rating 5/10 because it star wars i won't say don't bother at all, but do recommend just wait to rent it on DVD or buy as part of the Star Wars Box set in the coming months.
Or even better grab a copy of Star Wars battle front or Return of the sith video game on PC or console. much more worth your time and MONEY.
