Funniest movie you'll see in a long time

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2005)

I'll admit that I haven't enjoyed the last two atrocities George Lucas produced, and having seen Ewan MacGregor's reticence to give this movie his seal of approval I wasn't expecting much from this one.
What I got was possibly one of the most unusual movie experiences I have ever had. This movie is FUNNY. It's gone beyond bad and into some previously unexplored territory. Whether it be Palpatine hamming it up on the windowsill in his office, screaming "Nooooo! Nooooooo!" and trying to project his lips entirely off his face, or Obi Wan's tearful admission that he saw Anakin "Killing Younglings!" (At which point I think Ewan MacGregor covered his mouth to hide the smirk he couldn't contain.) George Lucas can't write dialogue for toffee, the world already knew that, but he didn't have to go to the effort of proving it all over again.
