It's over at last

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2006)

There's no sadness, just relief, the cash cow is nearly dead. Don't let apologists give this movie a pass, it's rotten right down to the core. It's an over-marketed fast-food restaurant, even giving out cheap plastic toys.
What's to be said... the uninspired acting, the childish script and plot, the cartoon and underused villains, the flat directing, the video game design, and everything else that ruined a perfectly fine blank screen. This whole series was about Anakin's turn and it couldn't have been more poorly played than in these 3 films. He based his turn on the worst aspect of the entire trilogy, his relationship with Padme. Did he learn from anything from Ep 2? There's nothing there and this new dialogue seems like its made just out of spite. These movies play out as some strange loner fantasy. It's an indictment on love more than anything else. Lucas' wife must have really burned him when she left.
Who would have thought old Georgie boy could have yet again topped himself in ridiculousness though. Padme doesn't just get killed, no, she just decides to die... and that's it. What more does he have to do to you people, walk down the isle and take a dump on your lap? I've never seen a filmmaker with such complete distain of good storytelling or even basic logic.
The series, like Padme, just gave up. Bravo George, writing yourself into your picture again?
