Better than the last two but not as good as it should have been

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2005)

George Lucas has finished this latest Star Wars trilogy with what should have been the best of any of them but poor acting, laughable plot twists due in what is actually an okay movie.
The problem in part is that Lucas has to get things to where we know they should be so he's been forced to twist events to get there. The sequence where Anakin relents and goes over to the dark side is illogically plotted and I never believed it. The film is littered with moments that made me wonder what Lucas thinking.
But sequences like the battle on the lava planet make the film worth seeing. I can't say thats it worth owning, but it was worth seeing once.
I just wish that Lucas had made the choice to let someone else write and direct this final film. He's at last given us a story thats worth hearing, unfortunately he's not very good at telling it to us.
FYI- I've rated the film as a one out of ten, its really a six or so. I've done it to counter balance all of the rave reviews since its no where near as good as some feel it is.
