"I got a bad feeling about this...."

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2006)

I was a kid when the first 3 (IV through VI) came out. I don't remember breathing at all during the final scene of the first movie.
I'm not a kid anymore.
Were the adults back then as bored by those 3 as I was by these, this one included? I shall have to ask a few.
Like the first series, I consider the 2nd of the 3 to be the best (though that's not saying much here,) but I was encouraged by the raves and ratings for this one. The story was non-existent. I spent most of it embarrassed and blushing for the sakes of Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson. They each did their best, though I've never seen a woman pregnant with twins run like Padme did at the end. We are all human, however, not Naboo, so nevermind.
OTOH, Ian MacDiarmid was fabulous. In 25 years he never lost his hold on that character. Good action, nearly every other frame, SPFX were eye-popping and that was a great, gory ending/beginning for Anakin/Darth.
There were some good lines and funny dialog, but most of it was just tedious.
