Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2005)

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the last Star Wars was much more emotional than ones past, or any of them for that matter. It was much more light-hearted at times, I even gut-laughed a couple of times. I was also surprised to be overwhelmed with emotion at times. This movie had much more serious subject matter at times, but still managed to not be too serious (which plagued the previous episodes). Absolutely loved this one, the only reason I didn't give it 10 stars ...awkward dialogue...mostly due to the writing and the fact that Hayden Christenson is not a very good actor (although they did their research to find someone that would resemble Luke)...But overall...pleasantly surprised...:)
