This was the best!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

First of all, if this doesn't get an Oscar nomination for best picture, and Ewan McGregor doesn't get a nomination for best actor....well I guess we already know the Oscars "aren't fair" so maybe that won't prove anything! But in a just world, these things would happen! I thought all the performances in this movie were first rate. Hayden Christiansen as Anakin also turned in a stellar performance. The rest of it was anything a true Star Wars fan would want from Light Saber battles to Wookies to the Droids! I'll be honest...I cheated and read the book first. So I knew what the story was. I remember thinking as I finished the book that the movie would stand or fall on the acting abilities of Christiansen and McGregor. As you can see from my comments above on those actors, I didn't think it disappointed one little bit! The movie lived up to the book, it lived up to the hype, it lived up to the legend which is Star Wars!
