Maybe the worst movie of the year.

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2006)

Put 100 monkeys in a room with 100 typewriters and they would likely come up with a better written script than George Lucas was able to cobble together for this last (thank God!) entry in the Star Wars franchise. To make matters even worse, his directorial skills are perhaps more pathetic than his writing! My personal opinion is that no capable director that took one look at the script would ever be willing to try and direct this bomb.
Add to this quagmire of crap some of the worst acting possible. Hayden Christensen needs to use some of the salary he garnered and take some rudimentary acting lessons. Natalie Portman, who has shown herself to be a credible actress in past movies, seems to have left her acting skills home for this one. This isn't to say that all the actors turned in bad performances (though there wasn't much they could do with this script!) Ewan McGregor was quite good and Ian McDiarmid, as always, was superb. And the best performance in this? Frank Oz and the CGI Yoda.
Someone really needs to explain to Lucas that computer graphics are supposed to enhance a movie, not be the movie! It seemed as if George tried to cram in as many special effects into each scene and all he succeeded in doing was to give the audience a headache from visual overload.
Don't bother buying or renting the DVD. If you really must see it, wait till it comes onto network TV so you don't have to waste any money on this pathetic load of crap!
