Wow!

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2005)

This installment of the Star Wars prequels is by far the best. I thought the acting was great overall, and I thought Hayden Christensen did a great job. There were a couple of questionable scenes, but his acting was dead-on portraying how Anakin turns to the Dark Side. Obi-wan seemed friendlier in this movie, not so hard on Anakin. And of course, Samuel L. Jackson was outstanding. The light-saber scenes were very exciting, especially on Mustafar. It equaled the scene in The Phantom Menace with Qui-Gonn Jinn and Darth Maul, and then Obi-wan and Maul. We took our 8 year old son to see it, and he was okay with it. He just expressed concern about the final scene after the battle on Mustafar. See it before you take your young kids, just in case. A must-see movie!!!!
