I finally liked this Star Wars movie...

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2006)

unlike Episodes 1 and 2 that sucked. My big complaint with Episodes 1 and 2 was the cheesy, simplistic dialog. While this movie had a few of those scenes, especially in the beginning, the dialog got better. It didn't sound as if written by an 8 year old. I'll skip the plot since about everyone already knows it. I think the rise of the "dark side" and how Aniken became Darth Vader was very cool since you know how it all turns out once he meets his son again. I cringed when we find out how Aniken gets all his scars and loses his limbs. That part was gruesome for a pg-13 film. And all the fights with light sabers were well done. Obi-Wan was really good in that fight at the end. The movie even made you feel bad for the jedi when they are being assassinated.
FINAL VERDICT: Entertaining story. Really brings together what comes next in Episodes 4-6. I'm definitely going to watch this again. So, I recommend seeing it even if you didn't think Episodes 1 or 2 were that great. If I knew it was this good, I'd seen it in the theater.
