Very good, and I'm not a Star Wars fan

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2005)

O.K so it isn't much of a shock that someone has posted a comment saying that this film is good. But seeing that i'm not a SW fan at all shows that u don't have to know the backstory to like this film. Like 99% of the world I have heard of Darth Vader n Luke, n know pretty much who and what they are, it's hard not to considering the hype those films got. I never, or will ever understand why these films got so massive, i mean the dialogue is cheesy, the acting not always the best, and my main gripe was with the effects, specially in ep II, they were excellent, but did every scene really need to be completely CG'd?? LOTR proved that CG shud only be used to help the story, not smother and spoil it. BUT................. this film was very good from start to finish. It did something that no other star wars film has done to me, it got me gripped.
Tension, action, violence, how this film got a 12 rating I'll never know.
An excellent performance from Hayden CHristianson, who finally makes you believe that this young lad could become so evil and powerful, Ewan Mcgregor, superb in the final half hour or so when the story really gets NASTY. But the star of the show is Ian McDiarmid....... SUPERB!! All in all, a very good film, mainly down to top notch acting. The End.
Right, thats my first ever film comment posted.
