Not brilliant but better than I expected

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 2006)

I am not a big fan of the star wars saga. I did really enjoy the classic films where there was a great storyline and brilliant action packed sequences but have found frustration watching George Lucas completely destroying it. In the other 2 prequels the films heavily depended on CGI and we're of poor quality yet in this film you can see some of the great moments we saw in the old star wars. The film takes place 3 years from where the {fifth or second its your choice} left off. The clone wars are ending and it is the time where Anikan faces a big choice in his life about who he should trust and who he wants to become. This film basically ties up all the loose ends. Hayden Christenson has improved a great deal since attack of the clones and another great performance by Ewan McGregor help this film end the great saga with dignity. I was going to rate this film a bit lower because everyone expects Star Wars to be a brilliant movie because of its predecessors but the film should be marked on its own merits.
