The Force Returns

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2005)

I will admit, after the disappointment of both Episode I and II, I was skeptical of the quality of Episode III. I hoped that the series would gain some redeeming quality after Episodes I and II came out, and, with Episode III, it did. While Episode III was not as great or groundbreaking as the original three movies, it was substantially better than Episodes I and II. I especially liked the beginning space fight that were so prevalent in the original three movies. Overall, I felt that the movie successfully tied the two series together, while I felt that some of the ties were a bit cheesy and seemed to be added in at the last moment. Still, this was a great movie that I plan to see many more times. I was much more satisfied with Christensen's acting performance in this movie than in the previous episode. The excellent acting, tying together of the series, and addition of several awesome action scenes made this a very good movie.
