If you ever liked Star Wars, avoid at all costs...

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2005)

I wanted to cry after watching this BAD, BAD, BAD movie. I have waited for the for prequels so long and I was shocked after I saw EP1. Jar Jar Moron and the crappy story of an unimportant planet being blocked from trade? Where nothing resembled the Star Wars universe? Along came EP2, which I found a tad bid better - there was some kind of a story at least and Ewan McGregor was convincing as Obi-Wan Kenobi. But even EP2 was sub-par, in my opinion. However, I still waited, believing that it really gets better. It didn't.
EP3 is pure, utter trash. I didn't find a single second to enjoy during the movie. There is no story, the characters are like uninspired wet cardboard, music sucks, the special effects ditto. There is NOTHING Star Wars in this "movie". Dialogues are actually make you flinch, they're so bad and corny.
There is no moral message behind this movie. Star Wars (the original episodes) had a clear message about good winning over bad and showed hope. In this movie, there was no good character, just idiots and evils. There was no one to root for. I was actually glad when the kids were killed, I so much hated the dumb and pathetic Jedis by that time.
Lots and lots of bad, annoying, visible "special effects" make this film nearly unwatchable. More than 70% of the movie is just effect, for the sake of having effects. Most of the time the effects do not add anything to the film. It's not "special" anymore when almost the whole movie is digital effect. Especially not, when done as badly as in this "movie".
There are many characters and scenes that do not contribute to the Star Wars story, but they were excellent excuses to show off the crappy effects.
This movie is not entertaining, it's not inspiring, it's just worthless. I feel so sad. 0 out of 10
