Good effects

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2005)

The special effects were good as to be expected. Good action but clunky,chunky writing again. Where were the Wookies? I expected to see so much more of them. Anyone else think that when Vader freed himself from the restraints at the end that it was like watching Frankenstein? The scene where Skywalker pledges to the Sith was lame. It was as if he flipped a coin and it came up tails and said "Sure, I'll join you." Where was the major conflict leading up to Vader joining the Sith? I was expecting so much more of a conflict with Skywalker becoming Vader than was given in the movie. With Samual Jackson, you kept waiting to hear "Yo, Sith lord, your butt bout to get whipped" He was obviously the street Jedi.
The movie did end well in preparing you for episode 4. I wonder if George will feel the need to rewrite and redo episode 4 next?
