impressive film

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2006)

I loved this movie, even if the dialogue suffered in places. The fight between Obi-wan and Anakin is the best duel in the Star Wars saga (though my favorite scene from all six movies remains Luke beats Vader in ROTJ). The story flowed, and I liked seeing a darker, more mature Star Wars movie for a change. My only complaint: James Earl Jones only got three lines when Vader finally donned the black suit and face mask. I don't know how Lucas could have fit in more lines though, maybe have Vader in his classic costume give a short monologue type speech before the ending montage (after that horrible "NO!!!" line he delivers as he does the Franken-Vader walk, the worst part of the film). Watch this movie, even if you hate the prequels. Give it a chance.
