sort of what i expected.......rushed!

Rating: 4/10 (17 June 2006)

While i'm probably not nearly as big of a fan as most of the people posting on this site it doesn't take a SW nerd to realize this movie was rushed from beginning to end. I've seen the deleted scenes and wondered why so many crucial parts to the story were taken out and yet they left in scenes like "good bye Chewbacca! miss you i will", i mean how does Chewbacca and Yoda being friends at one time have anything to do with the overall storyline? I'm glad George managed to show more of Anakins Darkside this time around, but with so many bad lines i just could not get myself to believe Anakins struggle between staying a Jedi or saving his wife. its hard to know who is responsible, George Lucas for writing those lines, or Hayden for acting them out. I wasn't impressed with the political comments in the movie either, if i wanted to hear bush/American bashing i'd watch Farenheit 9-11 or another stupid Michael Moore movie. When it all comes down to it Epi 3 should have been given at least an additional 40 minutes more time since so much info i feel was left out. Anyway here's hoping the TV series next year explains more cause Epi 3 sure did not.
