The Most Boring of the Star Wars movies

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2005)

I just went to see this piece of crap of a movie. Basically, its a story of how Anakin Skywalker went to the "Dark Side" of the force. Something that could have been summed up in one paragraph of dialog in any of the other Star Wars episodes. The Battles throughout the movie were very "70'ish" and lacked any of the eye popping, jaw dropping capabilities of CGI available to filmmakers today. I wont point out any one in particular but just say "The Actors" appeared bored with the script. They put nothing into it. The words just came out like they were reading the script as they went along. Maybe this movie should have been called "Attack of the Acting Drones". This is a "War" movie, plain and simple. There was no need to throw in all the mush romantic dialog. We see that Anakin got his woman pregnant and gave up being a good Jedi Knight for her. Bull. The fact is that most of the script revolves around Anakins "Wanting More", something not good for a Jedi Knight and a "Sure Path to the Dark Side of the Force". He wants to control death, have the ability to bring the dead back to life or some such, he wants to be a Jedi Master. He wants too much. (Of course I suppose thats also why he wants to control the Empire as well, cause he's a "Jedi in Need".) Personally I fell asleep 3 times as the movie is extremely slow throughout. There are moments of excitement, but thats about it, a few moments. Boring movie, lousy uninspired writing, goofy romantic story, and 5 seconds of Jar Jar Binks, thats the only redeeming quality of this 3 star trash pic.
