The Sum of All Parts...

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2017)

Whenever anyone mentions "The Prequels" you can almost be guaranteed to hear a collective moan filled with the pains of disappointment. Episode I was undeniably a horrible movie. I would go so far as to say that it is actually overrated when you look at its IMDb score here. I would be hard pressed to give the movie much higher than a four here.
Episode II was... eh... it was better than the trash of Episode I, but it had a lot to make up for and did not succeed. If I were asked to rate it here I would give it a six, but the 'fanboy' in me might be a little generous even at that.
But Episode III? The one I'm reviewing now? Seven out of ten and I don't feel like I'm being too generous. It is far from perfect, in fact much of it is pretty bad, but as a whole (and separate from its prequels) it was actually a pretty fun movie.
The trilogy as one movie probably doesn't deserve a five, but it's not one movie, it's three. This one is the third and is the best of the three by quite some margin. It probably doesn't deserve a seven, but it was such a breath of... semi-fresh air, that I gave it that.
