Star Wars is Dead...Lucas Killed It

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2006)

The unbelievably childish dialogue, the awkward over-expressed acting, the faults in the storyline...thats pretty much all this film has to offer.
The first three original Star Wars movies were well-written, well acted, interesting and had a good sense of humour. With the three new ones, the movies just get worse and worse...
Christensen and McGregor are not only given the most dumbest script to read but also act it appaulingly. Portman does alright but still sounds pathetic from the awful script she was given. Palpatine probably had the best dialogue in the film, and even that was barely acceptable...
The storyline also has mentionable faults. In the original star wars films, Leia said she remembered her mother even though she died when she was very young...well according to this film her mother died at her birth...so that doesn't tie in with the originals very well.
On the good side, the special effects are pretty cool. I still enjoy the lightsaber battles and such, but that was about the only thing that was fun about this film.
Personally, I think Lucas should of left star wars as it was instead of creating the vomit-inducing prequels. Yup, its nice to see cool special effects in the star wars movies...but they have been completely ruined by poor script writing and bad acting choices.
If they ever make another Star Wars film, Lucas shouldn't direct it, or have any part in writing the script.
