A great finale.

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2019)

Just as the other 2 in the prequel trilogy this movie had its fair share of shortcomings, the directing isn't amazing, the writing falls completely flat sometimes and the saber duels and combat have gotten more and more ridiculous. But that doesn't mean the story doesn't wrap up nicely. Even though I do think Anakin makes the decision to go full evil a tiny bit to quickly he is still very well built up through the prequels.
Aside from that Kenobi got a little too comedic, as there was a lack of comic relief in any other characters Kenobi throws out some now iconic/infamous phrases well known in the mind of star wars fans. It didnt ruin him for me personally.
As well as Sidious, it seems like he became so evil he could not stop laughing. And at times he was just so clumsy, his expressions just cracked me up.
One thing though that felt so much better was the dialog between Anakin and PadmÃ©, in Episode 2 it was simply put ...terrible. But here the writing was much better and the synergy was also much stronger.
Like I said before I still am a little conflicted on Anakin's development. I think they really did a good job at showing him turning, slowly, event by event. You can only take so many setbacks and hardships, and combine that with his rebellious and arrogant nature set in from the first episode it makes sense for him to turn. But the speed at which he does horrible things namely the killing of innocent children was a bit too quick for me. I wish there was at least some resistance before performing the act, maybe they gave him no choice.. or something that forced him at the least, instead of simple orders.
That being said I still really like this movie. And now having seen all 3 again as an adult I can say that what I liked as a child wasn't just because I lacked experience in movies or had no sense of quality. It was because all in all the Prequels were still an encapsulating story with yes.. huge spectacle with questionable CGI. But also a solid story in the end and some very memorable moments.
