Episode III: Revenge of the Merchandise

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2005)

This movie depressed me because I realized that once again, marketing hype convinced me to pay, for an expensive movie ticket for a movie that really wasn't good.
The reason being: George Lucas cannot write a good script. All of the lines are melodramatic or exaggerated in some fashion. And the character development (particularly Anakin's) is unbelievable. Logic and physics are often sacrificed for the development of the story line, just because George Lucas was too lazy to figure out a better way to further the plot.
Even towards the end of the movie, when Lucas ties in this film with Star Wars IV, it is too hackneyed and unrealistic. I could not appreciate the overarching plot.
All in all, save your $10 and wait for this movie to come out on DVD. And at that it warrants a rental, not a purchase.
