Episode 3 - Lucas really outdid himself with this one.

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2005)

OK, so another Star Wars flick. I suppose we all knew what was going to happen, so we went to the theater with questions in our heads: so, how is he going to do it? No surprises. Anakin is "taken by the dark side" and soon feels hate against anything (not too well-acted emotions really). Then we have Padme appearing every now and then, almost singing the lines like she was in a third grade play. Then there's this almighty Sith master, who is great and powerful and so on, suddenly he is attached and mysteriously sort of diminishes in size and power. I mean come on, at first he could fight so many Jedis at once, suddenly he's having trouble with just Mace Windu. OK, so the guy is lying on the floor with Windu's light saber in his face and Windu says: "Now I shall end this". What's up with the squeaking "No, no, no!"? I mean, does a dark lord really sound like that? OK, I suppose all that can be forgiven. But right after that there's a scene where Anakin has just helped kill Mace Windu and says: "Oh no, what have I done!?". Wanna know what his next sentence is? "Yes, my master". So he's freaked out and all about what just happened, he realizes that he's made a god awful mistake and... he just says OK, I'll go kill all the young Jedi and ya DA ya DA ya DA ya. And then it all ends like a sixties low budget TOS Star Trek with a classical Dark Vader screaming NOOOOOO when he hears that Padme is dead. The End. Boring. OK, let's go get a sandwich.
