A whimper rather than a bang.

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2011)

The best of the three prequels, the story reaches a satisfactory conclusion without too much of the uneven storytelling and abortive attempts at humour of the previous chapters.
Again, the effects are spectacular containing lavish amounts of detail to appease the hardened fans, the performances are better and the pacing is better.
Sadly, the same problems persist, an over-reliance on spectacle to tell the story, Skywalker is irritating rather than sympathetic resulting in his eventual fate rendered anti-climactic.
Again, though, the film feels like a chore with very little other than the special effects to entertain.
