Episode III just showed how good EP IV-VI was

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2005)

Yes, basically I have endured all 3 movies (ep I-III) just because the classic trilogy was THAT good. We all hoped for the genius to come back to Star Wars and when I have read the remarkable comments on EP III, I had hopes for the new trilogy.
But I was so wrong.
EP III lacks one thing: Emotions The ingredients were awesome, brave warriors, great love, treachery, a friendship that was more like 2 brothers, but the result was bad. I did not live with the characters in one single scene. Padme dies, no biggie, Anakin turned over to the dark side... I did not care, all Jedis died, I felt the urge to empty my bladder.
I did not believe that Anakin and Padme loved each other, I did not believe the reasons for Anakins turn that Lucas gave us, I did not feel for Obi Wan who had to battle his old friend.
In fact, I was watching the stunning special effects and the action, but not at the characters. As a result, my 2 favorite characters were Joda and R2-D2... one was CGI and the other a robot who cannot even speak. The movie was not bad, but take away the Star Wars feeling and the really big budget and you have a movie that could be Riddick 2.
George Lucas, you failed and I am sad because a great opportunity is missed. It was a nice history lesson, but like my history lessons in school, I was in danger of falling asleep the whole time.
Yes there are many fanboys who like this movie, but in 20 years, no one is going to speak of Ep I-III, the people will still watch the classic trilogy.
