Yet another Prequel tragedy...spoilers...of what I'm spoiling I don't know... may follow:

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2005)

Episode 3 was yet another prequel tragedy proving once again that nothing is better than the original films. Due to extreme lack of sleep from the midnight showing, I will try to make this easier on myself by making a few major points: Unfortunately Jar Jar did not die.
George Lucas should not be allowed to write love lines.
Crappy actors Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman should not be allowed to act out Lucas' said crappy love lines.
Making R2D2 trip around for the kid's amusement.
Overkill of R2D2's once funny scream.
Hearing Hayden Christensen trying to imitate James Earl Jones' voice. Especially his non -dramatic crappy "nooooooooooooooooooo" scream.
Every part of the movie that tries to build drama fails.
Degradation of classic characters...again.
Being really, really, really, absurdly dramatically obvious in pointing out that yes, that is indeed Chewbacca.
Abuse of CGI. Throughout the whole movie nothing felt real. I felt as if I were watching a Pixar movie.
Every attempt in the movie to build on the drama just didn't reach me for some reason...more than likely because of crappy acting.
The whole idea behind Vader's leap to the dark side is weak...just pitiful. In killing masses of people he can save his love. Whatever. The way that it was all horribly presented in the film makes it just weak.
The one thing that killed this movie is one name : Hayden Christensen. The poor boy cannot act. He makes for a horrible Darth Vader. I laugh when he caught on fire because I hate him so much.
The action scenes weren't terrific.
Hayden's various angst poses.
Oh and the ending...
They had to re-use a scene from ANH to make a good ending. Lucas can't think of anything original.
It is only better than the first two prequels simply because Jar Jar did not speak.
