The Mustafar Battle And Some Special Effects Saved This Flim.

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2018)

I am a huge Star Wars fan been one since I was 5 back in 77, but for some reason the Prequels were disappointing. The problem I had with Revenge of the Sith was the acting. I was shocked by how Natale Portman( Padme) went from being somewhat tough in ATOC to some, wilted flower in ROTS. Anakin ( Hayden Christensen) acting ability was awful. It was awkward seeing him with Portman, no chemistry at all. This is worthy of a 6.5 rating but that is it. The movie begins with a battle over Coruscant, Anakin and Obi-wan are on a mission to save Chancellor Palpatine(Ian Mc Dermitt). Upon their mission both will confront Anakin begins to show more aggression when he is ordered to kill Count Dooku(Christopher Lee). After the return to Coruscant he reunites with Padme. She tells him she is pregnant, he looks surprised/ upset in away, then brushes it off. Anakin starts to have visions like he had of his mother, in ATOC. He explains to Padme about his visions that she dies in childbirth. He says he will do anything to prevent this from coming true. When the Jedi Council does not let him on the Council he throws a fix; and Obi wan sees his unstable behavior. He starts to get too close to Chancellor Palpatine and the Council sees this especially Mace Windu ( Samuel L. Jackson). Mace doesn't trust him at all. Meanwhile At the opera Palpatine explains the story of Darth Plagugeus. This gets Anakin, he will do anything to save Padme, he becomes Palpatine's new Apprentice Darth Vader. Anakin now belongs to the Dark Side, he kills young Jedi's in training, and neglects Padme. Obi Wan is now an enemy, who he will duel with on Mustafar. The Jedi are in one of the biggest battles, and Obi-Wai has to battle Anakin, and save Padme. During the duel of Mustafar, the Jedi are betrayed by The Clones turn on them, with Order 66 come through. We know Anakin turns to the DarkSide, Padme dies in Childbirth, and The beginning of construction on The Deathstar begins. This movie was saved by some veteran actors, McDiarmid, McGregor, and Jackson. The big plus is some special effects, and the Battle of Mustafar. It's the prequels, Lucas got them done, but it doesn't come close to the Orginals.
