It could be better

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2005)

Even if Episode III is a good movie and makes fans please, you can feel little disappointment after you watched it, if you have greater expectations about the movie like I do. I mean, I love Star Wars universe. I love all the movies, even the new trilogy. They occur in that universe and let us see more Jedi, young Obi Wan Kenobi, rise of the empire and introduce us Qui Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Count Dooku. In the new movie, you will see more visual effects, but less character development. There are weak spots in the script and romance between Anakin and Padme is really cheesy. IMO, the plot of The Knights of the Old Republic video game is better and more emotional. You know, Lucas knows the movie will be watched and break the box office records whatever he does. Anyway, at least acting is better this time. Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid's acting incredible. And Natalie Portman is her best in the trilogy. I'd like to see more Samuel L.Jackson and Christopher Lee, but the plot doesn't let this. IMO even though Hayden Christensen acts better, he is still the weakest link. By the way, Lucas said that this movie is dark and emotional. Unfortunately, it's not fully right. I suggest Lucas watching Blade Runner, Alien, Escape From NY or any David Lynch or David Cronenberg movie to see what the dark is in the Sci-Fi. Anyway, at least there's no Jar Jar till the final scene and he doesn't talk. I give it 6 points and add 1 point because it's star wars and 1 point for great acting, because there's less time for acting, but they are trying to do their best. (8/10)
