Not bad for an action movie (might contain spoilers)

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2005)

The movie was substantially better than Episode 1 and 2 but still lacked enough shear acting talent to be great. Sure, it's an action movie and maybe sub par acting is to be expected. Critics say that the acting is far better than it was in episode 2, especially by Hayden Christensen who appeared less whiny, but the acting between him and Natalie Portman felt wooden. Part of the story is supposed to be these two characters and the children that they have, but the lines were so clichéd and forced.
However, the movie did have it's upside. The special effects were exceptional, but you can't rely completely on special effects to make a great movie. Sure you can win an Oscar for special effects but none for overall movie. The movie was meant to tell the final piece of the puzzle and it did, although a bit unsuccessfully. I couldn't believe in a million years how quickly he turned. We're supposed to believe that this has been progressing for years, but the end result was quick and unbelievable. Of course if your looking for a good time. something enjoyable then that you will find it in Star Wars. Just not much else. It's fun to watch but not memorable.
