Starwars, Good points and Bad points.

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2005)

I thought the new prequel was good for the most part. There was definitely a lot of action in this one. (Unlike AOTC, which I thought was too mushy). Palpatine had a much bigger role in ROTS, which I definitely liked. I've been waiting forever to find out how he got deformed. And of course there's the battle between Palpatine and Yoda, I thought it was the best battle in ROTS (The battle between Anakin and Kenobi kind of bored me). There we definitely some parts that were bad though. For example, I thought they could of done a lot better with the visual effects, especially on the light sabers. It was almost like Lucas was trying to give everything a classical look since ROTS is so close to ANH. The visual effects were better in AOTC I thought. And there's the Romantic parts. Padme was such a strong woman in TPM and AOTC, in ROTS she's more like Anakin's secret mistress. And there was the descent into the dark side. First Palpatine has Anakin kill Dukoo, which was way too easy I thought. Then he wants him to leave Kenobi behind, which he won't do. Then Anakin chops Mace Windu's hands off, and offers Palpatine his allegiance to save Padme. Then he goes and kills the kids in the Jedi Temple (I was kind of disappointed because Anakin didn't kill all the Jedi! The only ones they show him killing were the kids, I thought he was supposed to of killed them all single-handedly, or at least mostly) Then he goes to Mustufar and kills all of the Seperatist Leaders, all cool. Padme later on come to Mustufar to find Anakin. Then the fight between Kenobi and Anakin ensues, and Kenobi wins (I definitely liked the part when Kenobi chops all of Anakin's limbs of with one strike). The part I really didn't buy was when Padme died. 'She's lost the will to live', how lame is that? The great George Lucas cannot come up with some better explanation then that?! At least have it that she was severely injured when Anakin used the force on her, at least that's believable.. One other thing I didn't like was Anakin never used Dark Force Lightning.. how boring, he just used all of the boring force powers that everyone's seen like a thousand times from the last two prequels. All in all it was good, but there were definitely some parts that needed work..
