well... i mean we still have the original trilogy. right?

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2005)

I gave Episode III 4 stars simply for the fact that their were some parts that made me smile as a star wars fan. Far and few but they were there. Like Darth's first mechanical breaths, or seeing some of the vehicles starting to resemble Original Trilogy battle technology. The biker scouts on the wookie planet looked really cool too.
With the good points aside, let's look at why this movie did not work for my taste. The acting was very wooden, and though it is a sci-fi opera i can understand a little bit of cheese here and there, the dialogue was by far, way to unrealistic. In a galaxy far far away, i expect a character's words might be a little different, however, the emotions and reactions that come out through dialogue shouldn't. SFX, as great and as eye candy as it was, overshadowed the plot and storyline. Also the reasoning behind Anakin's change to the Dark Side, was not believable and seemed to quick. Lucas had 3 movies to make this transition, and waiting till the 3rd to do so, was probably not the best move.
Oh well, at least we got 3 gems out of the Star Wars Saga.
