Best of the prequels

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2005)

I don't think I have much to say that hasn't already been said about this movie. I found it to be the best, by far, of the Star Wars prequels (even though I did like Episodes 1 and 2). I think one thing that "hurt" the prequel trilogy was the fact that today's audience is not the same audience that was in the theaters in 1977. Many people were expecting to be blown away by the films, but since the CGI and special effects are now commonplace, people were disappointed. Fact is, a lot has progressed in that area, you just have to know where to look for it. What really made the prequels work for me is being able to see how the whole story came full circle, and in Episode 3, it held nothing back. I was very moved and satisfied. Can't wait for the DVD to come out!
