A Much Better Movie Than Episode's I And II , But George Lucas Does Not Make It In A Way Which Would Have Given Him A Fitting Farewell .

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2005)

28 Years Ago , A Man Named George Lucas Made One Of the Greatest Movies Of All Times . It Wasn't Something We Had Not Seen Before , But This Was The Only Movie After Many Many Movies Which Had Eyerything In It : Action , Comedy , Romance And Yes , A Great Soundtrack . The Film Was So Well Received That It Spawned 2 more Sequels , Which Although Were Not As Good As The 1st , Were Great In Their Own Right . In 1999 , When George Lucas Decided To Resurrect The Campaign , He Decided To Tell The Back Story Of One of The Most Feared Villains In History , Darth Vader . He Did That , But In The Process , Destroyed The Spirit Of The Series With The Phantom Menace And Later On , The Attack Of The Clones . George Lucas had , Probably His Last Chance To Resurrect Himself With Episode III . He Has Done So , But Only Partially . He Had Many Positives Going His Way For This Movie , Media Hype , Fan Craze , Many Newely Developed Characters And Above All , A Trump Card , DARTH VADER . The Opening Sequence , For The First Time Since Episode 4 , Has A Space Battle In Which 2 Jedi Knights Have To Rescue The Supreme Chacellor . Now , This Is No Doubt A Great First 20 Minutes , Which Would Have Been Even better Had It Not been For Some Campy Dialogues . The Acting Over Here is Just About OK . Hayden Christensen , Who was Criticized For His Performance In Episode II , Does Much better Over Here , But Could have Got More Of A Story Because Hey , You have To Admit That You Wanna Watch Episode III Mainly For This Character . Ewan Mc Gregor As Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi Hits The Right Notes , And Seems Abolutely Comfortable Even In the Scenes Where He Is With Digital Characters . Natalie Portman , Though Looking Gorgeous , Again Suffers Like Christenson , Lack Of Story , Poor Diagolue , Especially In The Love Scenes With Anakin . These Diagolues May Be Close To Real Life , But they Don't Fit In A Movie Like Star Wars . the Acting Accolades Over Here Undoubtedly Go To Ian Mac Diarmid . His Transformation From Good Supreme Chacellor To Chillingly Evil Sith Lord Is Spine Chilling To Say The Least . And Mac Diarmid Has 1 Scene In The Movie Which Will Give Die Hard Fans Goosebumps . the Special Effects here Are Great , the Best Of All the Movies . There Are Many New Worlds Which Have been Painstakingly Built With Perfection And Extremely Accurate Detailing . the look Of All the Characters Is Great , Especially , Anakin Skywalker . Tall , With Jedi Robes On , Scar On Face , One Gloved Hand , Long Flowing Hair , Perfect Getup For The Hero Turned Villain . The Soundtrack Is Good , But Fans Who Were Expecting The Imperail March To be In This movie , Will Be Disappointed , But The Track " Anakin's Dark Deeds " Is Almost As Good And Does Bring Back Memories . The Story Over Here Is Disappointing , And Sadly , there Is No Improvement In The Writing Department From The Previous 2 movies , And Though We Do Feel Sorry For Anakin When He Tells Mace Windu That He Needs Palpatine But Does Not Tell Him Why , We Also Hope That There Were Other Things Which Forced Him To Join Palpatine . So Even Though George Lucas Has Reedemed Himself , He Has Done So Only Just And People who Go To Watch A Movie Bringing Their Brains Along With Them Will be Disappointed , But Will Enjoy The Political Scenes And The Jabs At Bush . Before Signing Off , Let me Write This For The Last Time :
