Great Movie made Good by Lazy Writing

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2005)

I'm a huge fan of episodes 4-6. Most of the issues with those installments were simply related to lower tech effects and a few to many muppets.
Episode III is far better that its two predecessors but falls on its face because of the poorly drawn character motivations and gaping plot holes.
For one thing...how could the threat of death during childbirth even exist in a world with such amazing technology??? The answer in the end is even more lame... Spoiler alert She's perfectly healthy but she's lost the will to live??????????? Give me a freaking break...how about your two children, your people...
The ultimate BS alarm goes off when Jedi Skywalker slaughters innocent children to maybe possibly find a cure to save his wife from death.
What irritates me the most is with just a few tweaks this could have been an amazing installment.
As always the effects are amazing, the acting better than usual and they do a great job of fitting this installment into episode 4.
